Xiaofeng Wan, a former admissions officer, is now advising Chinese students on studying in the U.S. Amid changing U.S. policies and sentiments towards international students, especially from China, parents feel anxious about sending their children overseas. Recent actions by the Trump administration, including visa deportations and targeted requests for student information from universities like Harvard, have contributed to a growing perception that the U.S. may not be a welcoming environment. Suzanne Ortega, president of the Council of Graduate Schools, warns that this shift in reputation could have damaging effects on U.S. higher education institutions that rely on international student enrollment.
Dr. Wan noted that parents in China are expressing deep uncertainty over sending their children to the U.S., reflecting fears that the environment is not welcoming.
Suzanne Ortega emphasized that recent visa terminations have sent a distressing signal to international students; the perception of the U.S. as unsafe could have severe consequences.
