Xiaofeng Wan, a former admissions officer, now advises international students considering U.S. colleges amid rising concerns over hostility towards Chinese students. The Trump administration's recent actions, including visa terminations and demands for student lists from universities like Harvard, have compounded fears that the U.S. is no longer a safe or welcoming environment. Suzanne Ortega, president of the Council of Graduate Schools, emphasizes that the chaos surrounding visa policies sends a negative signal internationally, potentially harming American colleges that rely on international tuition revenue.
"For years, American colleges and universities have attracted growing numbers of international students who often pay full tuition, effectively subsidizing domestic students."
"I think it sends a powerful signal to friends and family at home that the U.S. is not a safe place to be anymore."
