[quote=Anonymous]Sure. If US blocks kids from country X from getting student visas, then country X will block our kids. Why in the world would they let American students breeze in, while American has stopped issuing ALL international student visas while they start social media checks. These things are reciprocal.

It’s a shame.  I had a kid do a geology field camp for a semester in a place where he couldn’t do similar work in the US. And a foreign language major who has had student visas for a summer and a semester to do immersion. They’re done with study abroad. But the experiences were  be invaluable.  It will be sad if it stops being a regular occurrence for US students (who, BTW, don’t always have the reputation of being the best behaved). Although I get MAGA doesn’t understand the value.

And if your kid is headed to McGill or Toronto and Trumps block Canadian kids from Harvard?  Or a British U and British kids are blocked— yeah. Your kid will need to find a new college.

It is adding a kink in the process for my IR rising senior. She had planned to apply to British and Canadian Masters programs next year, plus Science Po in France. Plus US schools.  She applied for undergrad and knocked these off because of the uncertainty of travel across borders. It sucks for her that we are back where we were in 2021.

FAFO. [/quote]
