[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an interesting article from Bloomberg over the summer:    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-06-27/trump-s-anti-harvard-campaign-fuels-interest-in-uk-universities[/quote]

There's a paywall. Give us a break down of the main points?[/quote]

Donald Trump's criticism of elite US universities, particularly Harvard, is causing a notable increase in American students considering UK universities for their higher education. This trend is driven by a perception that these US institutions are becoming less welcoming and are embroiled in political controversy.

Here are the main points of the article:

* Shifting Student Interest: College admissions consultants are seeing a significant rise in inquiries from US students looking to apply to UK universities. This is a direct response to the negative attention being focused on top-tier American schools.
 * Financial Benefit for UK Universities: The potential influx of American students is a welcome development for UK universities. They have been facing financial difficulties due to stagnant domestic tuition fees and a recent decline in international student enrollment.
 * A "Trump Bump" for the UK: The article suggests that the political climate in the US, fueled by Trump's rhetoric against institutions like Harvard, is creating an opportunity for the UK to attract high-achieving American students who are seeking a less politically charged academic environment.
 * Consultants Expanding to the UK: To meet this growing demand, some US-based college admissions consultants are expanding their operations to the UK, specifically to help American students navigate the application process for British universities.
