[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many, many international students are not able to re enter the US for the fall semester anyway due to closed borders, lack of flights, etc. My son’s roommate has been working on trying to get back from Peru in time for the late August start for almost a month now. There are only a few humanitarian flights and he has been working with the embassy to try to get here. The parents facebook group is filled with similar stories of kids who can’t get back from Costa Rica, Nigeria, etc.

I agree that is is a shame for these students, and I wish we could get them all back here by August, but many colleges aren’t having on campus classes anyway and they are safer at home. At least they will be able to continue their classes remotely. If this had happened outside of COVID, that wouldn’t be the case. [/quote]

While that's upsetting, I am more concerned about the students who are here now, who didn't leave the U.S. and who may not have anywhere safe to go now they are being kicked out.[/quote]
