International students weigh new risks of pursuing higher education in the US under Trump
International student enrollment in the U.S. is recovering, contributing $43.8 billion to the economy in the 2023-2024 academic year, according to NAFSA.
Students feel pressured to limit their political expressions due to fears of deportation under the new Trump administration.
Bunker Hill Community College suspended study abroad programs, and Brown University advised international students to postpone travel after incidents of deportation occurred.
Fanta Aw from NAFSA emphasized that universities must remind prospective students that detentions are not the norm despite recent cases.
