Adapting to rapid policy shifts: Real-time insights on international student interest in the US
April 7th, 2025 - 10:00am ET
The sentiment towards studying in the US has been evolving since the election of President Trump. While initial surveys in early 2025 indicated a generally positive or improved view among many international students, recent developments—including travel restrictions, stricter immigration policies, proposed legislation, and funding changes—are creating growing uncertainty about international student enrollment and the US's appeal as a study destination.
In this webinar, featuring key stakeholders and experts in international education, we aim to provide a clear and data-driven assessment of the US as a study destination, specifically considering the evolving impact of new administration policies. We will examine recent data and insights to differentiate fact from fiction, highlighting reality over subjective interpretations.
