At some colleges, international enrollments down - Linda Conner Lambeck, CT Post
After years of enrollment growth, particularly among those coming to UB from around the world, the university has experienced a drop in its international students. So have many other colleges across the country. In the year since President Donald Trump took office, student visas have gotten are harder to get, prospects of working in the U.S. after graduation are less certain and the United States is no longer the only destination for international students and their tuition dollars. The Institute of International Education reports a 6.9 percent decline of international students enrolling for the first time at a U.S. institution in the Fall of 2017, according to a preliminary survey of 500 colleges. About 45 percent of institutions describe a drop in new international student numbers.
