[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at one of the top ranked Canadian universities. We have many American students, mostly children of Canadians.

We previously didn't really consider them 'international students' in terms of programming since culturally they were so similar.

Now we do as the gun violence, school violence, immigration issues (and general Trump culture) means they come with different concerns and questions and cultural contexts than our domestic students.  They need different supports and services as well. Many worry about the safety of their friends and family back in the USA.[/quote]

Please. I have several friends who attended Toronto and McGill from the US. The kids who go to the top Canadian Unis are similar to the university bound US population. They are not typically coming from violence-plagued areas, nor are they coming from Trump land. They are typically coming from safe, UMC, very liberal suburbs. Kids from Lincoln, MA and Scarsdale, NY do not need "different supports and services" nor are they worrying about the safety of their families in the USA.
