Expect tuition increases. Full pay international students offset Americans and what they pay.

Racism is expensive

no. Spend some time on the Reddit Intl->USA college board. 99% of applicants from India are seeking a full ride.

A VC friend told me that they are looking at investing in India. So many of startups in SF are founded by Indians and many not-yet-public unicorns have Indian (or Indian American) cofounders. He was already noticing the drop in Indians applying to us universities… where does that talent go? He says every cafe in Bangalore is full of young hungry talent working on an idea. That’s where the $$ will go.

So does this mean they’re going to self deport?

most univresities have more than enough room for american students. But the full-pay internationals students keep americans students paying less. expect to see private college and univrsities close, regional state univresities go onlien to save cost, and tuitions rise.

+1

The original poster on this chain proves they have NO idea how colleges and universities actually work as a business operation.

Less competition from Asian students, means less-qualified Americans get in.

Let's see, how's that work???

My child's grad stem program was, until this year, considered the best in the world.

Not the US, the WORLD.

About half the students in her cohort were from Asia.

Excluding these students means my DD's grad program is no longer be the best in the world.

Those brilliant students from Asia are enrolling in European and Canadian universities now, making European and Canadian stem programs the best in the world.

America second -- or third or fourth or fifth....

Yea!!!

Why do these brilliant students need to go overseas to make foreign programs the best of the world if they can stay home and make local programs the best.

We should cut ALL foreign students to US Universities by at least 50% or more.

That doesn't solve the need for more doctors.

In underserved or health professional shortage areas, a large % of doctors are immigrants.

Doctors will be replaced by AI/Humanoid. Approximately 40% of the physicians and surgeon's work can be done by AI/Robots already. This is a good thing that will lead to affordable and accessible heath care for Americans.

What a dumb comment. They go overseas because of reputation. Why don’t you send your kid to the local community college so they help improve its programs?

Universities are rapidly becoming irrelevant and even STEM degrees from Stanford, Princeton MIT, Harvard etc. are becoming worthless (Harvard , Wharton MBAs unable to find jobs).

Degree from MIT will be useless if the graduate cannot utilize various AI agents to produce results worth 10 or 20 humans.

The era of pretending to be capable/competent just because of a degree from a prestigious university is over! The selection criteria will be to judge how you think, how you approach a problem, how you adapt, what you have produced alone utilizing AI etc. and how well can you tell if AI is incorrect/hallucinating.

We will need far fewer human doctors within 6 years. Doesn't make sense to go to business school, law school or medical school especially with student loans.

Ummm....that's not how it works. International students pay the full amount of tuition which helps keep it lower for our kids.

Wrong.

I know many Indians that go to state schools in Texas and get scholarships and help.

Stop with the chamber of commerce propaganda

Your anecdote doesn't make it wrong. This is across the board generally true that they pay full freight.
And to counter your anecdote, my kid is on a college sports team that is about half not from the US. They all pay full freight (we are not D1 so no athletic money). I know this having talked with their parents and the kids (they come to play notwithstanding that school in their own countries is significantly cheaper; many don't finish out 4 years for that reason).

Indians steal technologies from University labs and sell them or use them to gain lucrative opportunities.

The comment is not dumb, but you are. First you made a stupid comment then missed the point of the response.

The purpose of attending a good college is not to improve its program as you state in your original comment, but learn from the best. Thus all your brilliant students attend good colleges overseas, because that’s where the best teach. So who cares, if they stay home and don’t come here. Universities can hire the best professors from overseas, not bring foreign students.

Reputation has little to do with it. The business, regulatory, and legal climates are unfavorable in India. India has good universities, but limited opportunities for their best graduates.
