Will applications to foreign colleges skyrocket next year?

[Anonymous]

And if so, will that be the beginning of American students and employers understanding and being more engaged in universities overseas?
In other words, is this the time to get in on the ground?

I doubt it. We're seeing the opposite: kids staying closer to home. Nobody wants to deal with international travel as much, visas...

Or maybe because no one wants an American kid in their country now??

They’ll skyrocket from applicants in other countries but not from Americans

No.

It will be harder for US applicants. International students who would have gone for the US are flocking to Canada and the UK instead.

My current senior went into the college counseling office on November 6 to talk about adding two international schools to her list. She applied, was accepted, and is now choosing between those two universities. She was already flirting with the idea but the election solidified her decision. I am thrilled that she will be out of the US.

We are in a similar situation, although my kid recently made their decision from among the four international universities to which they were accepted. I know of three other kids who are going abroad for undergrad beginning in the fall, and one who will be starting their third year. Like you, I am quite happy they will be out of this country.

No.

People are worried about getting stuck at our borders when they leave or come in.

This exactly.

My senior added a university in Canada and one in the UK to her list. She was accepted to both and chose the school in Canada.

These schools weren’t even on the list until mid November.

In our bubble of suburbia, there’s been an uptick this year. I assume more will choose to study international next year.

Our experience with the Canadian university, so far, has been great. Her visa will even be good for 3 years after she graduates.

I wouldn’t want to be an international student coming to the US, but I don’t think the world is punishing US citizens yet. Maybe eventually. Right now, it seems like a great time to have an international experience.

DC has a few on their list, at minimum is looking at schools with robust travel abroad opportunities in their area of interest.

I like the idea of three years (masters in four) at a lower tuition rate. Even with travel factored in, it’s reasonable.
