Australia’s universities have been hooked on international student fees for years, especially from China. Now that pipeline is slowing — geopolitics, rising competition, and changing perceptions are all biting.
At the same time, some employers in China are starting to question whether an overseas degree still carries the weight it once did. The old “halo effect” is fading. And for many students, the appeal has dropped further with no clear pathway to permanent residence after studying in Australia.

Glass & others say #universities depend on #InternationalStudents to help power #research projects, bolster their revenue & help expose domestic students to a broader array of #cultures & #ideas. Foreign students make up about 6% of enrollment at #US #colleges.

Advocates argue decline in #InternationalStudents will ultimately hurt the #US #economy because #immigrants often play key roles in #startups & #research.

“International students aren’t just tuition revenue. A decline in international students is not just a matter for next year’s enrollment cycle for universities—it’s a strategic setback for America’s role as a hub of global talent, #science & #innovation,” said Chris Glass, a Boston College prof & researcher on international #HigherEducation.

…Many experts expect the numbers will continue to fall next year as many foreigners ecide to study in other countries instead. The number of #InternationalStudents applying to study at #US #colleges next year has fallen 9% so far, acc/to data collected from students who applied using the Common Application by Nov 1. The largest drops occurred among applicants from Asia & Africa.

That effort has included restricting travel from 19 nations; pushing #schools to limit the number of #InternationalStudents; temporarily pausing #StudentVisa screening interviews while the government revamped procedures to include tougher #socialmedia rules; & canceling #visas for students accused of “crimes”, overstaying their visa or participating in pro-Palestinian #HumanRights #protests.

The number of newly enrolled #InternationalStudents in US #colleges dropped 17% this fall after the #Trump admin made it more challenging to obtain #StudentVisas [& jailed many legally here], data released Monday by the Institute of #International #Education shows.

The figures, based on a survey of >825 colleges & #universities, provide one of the clearest views of the potential impact of measures Trump’s admin has taken that make it more difficult for foreign students to come to the US.
