Stakeholders Assess Whether International Student Enrollment Will Rise After Sharp Decline

An Institute of International Education (IIE) survey of 700 colleges and universities concluded that there was a 16% drop in all international student enrollment in fall 2020, compared to fall 2019, and a 43% drop in new international student enrollment.

Experiencing the Presidential Election as an International Student

As an international student during the 2016 presidential election, I had very little idea what was happening in the year that preceded it, but it all sounded too complicated – electoral votes, caucuses, nomination, national conventions, all were foreign concepts to me.

Emotions were heightened, many were crying. Boy was that a night.
