New International Enrollments Decline Again - Elizabeth Redden, Inside Higher Ed

New enrollments of international students fell by 6.6 percent at American universities in academic year 2017-18 compared to the year before, marking the second straight year in declines in new enrollments, according to new data from the annual Open Doors survey. New enrollments fell 6.3 percent at the undergraduate level, 5.5 percent at the graduate level and 9.7 percent at the nondegree level from 2016-17 to 2017-18. A separate survey of institutions found that the decline in new international enrollments is continuing this fall, though the drop was less severe than that reported last year. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/11/13/new-international-student-enrollments-continue-decline-us-universities
