“Amid ongoing disputes over immigration policies and international student visas, fewer new students from overseas chose to attend U.S. colleges last year, and new data shows enrollment could drop even further in the year ahead. A report released Thursday by the Common App shows that although application volume for undergraduate admission in the upcoming 2026-27 academic year rose overall, the number of international applicants through March 1 fell 10%, the steepest decline on record. In the fall 2025 semester, the tally of new international students studying in the U.S. sank 17% compared with the previous year, according to a Fall 2025 Snapshot from the U.S. Department of State and the Institute of International Education. IIE’s Spring 2026 Snapshot estimated another drop in overall international enrollment for the upcoming fall.” (CNBC)
