International Students Look to the U.K. Instead of the U.S. Amid Trump’s Visa Plans
- The Trump administration proposed tightening visa restrictions for international students enrolled in over one million U.S. colleges as of early 2025.
- This policy follows concerns about rising unemployment and underemployment among recent U.S. college graduates, with unemployment hitting 5.8 percent in Q1 2025, the highest since 2021.
- Meanwhile, elite U.K. universities and education consultants have noted a nearly 50 percent drop in prospective students searching for U.S. schools between January and April 2025 amid growing uncertainty.
- International students contribute about $50 billion annually to the U.S. economy, and experts warn that restrictive policies risk harming global research collaboration and U.S. soft power.
- Consequently, the U.K. could experience a temporary increase in the enrollment of international students; however, experts warn that the enduring effects might have adverse implications for higher education on a global scale.
