The increase in international students at American universities has become a significant topic following scrutiny from the Trump administration regarding foreign student enrollment at institutions like Harvard. With enrollment figures ballooning from roughly 300,000 students in 1979-80 to about 1.1 million in 2023-24, the phenomenon has reshaped campus dynamics without extensive debate. The presence of wealthier foreign students has reportedly led to social tensions, particularly highlighting conspicuous disparities with American peers. This situation prompts a reevaluation of the internationalization and its future trajectory.
