This Proposed Rule does more harm than this. 1) it shortens the grace period from 60 days to 30 days for intel students to find a job. 2) it forbids students who earned higher level degrees to enroll in a lower level one. 3) prohibiting changing programs for students pursuing grad degrees. And more
For most PhD programs, on average, it takes about 6~7 years to finish. When students have to renew their visa every 4 years, it means everyone will apply to the visa application 2 times now. Financially, it adds another 300$ ( Visa app fee) + international round trip+ accommodations (min 1500$).
Already feeling under attack and facing increased government scrutiny, international college students balked at a new Trump administration proposal that could limit their stays in the US to four years.

If approved, the rule would implement a new fixed time limit on foreign students, who currently can stay for the length of their studies as long as they meet visa requirements.

I think it’s important to mention that, beyond their economic contribution, international students are also real people who have lived in the US quite long and built their lives here instead of transient sojourns. Being on F1 for almost my entire 20s, I have mixed feelings about what’s happening.
It's important to note here that we're not just talking about faculty & university staff. 100s of U.S. colleges are in towns or small cities where they form the major industry & lifeblood of the community. Loss of students -> loss of rent $, restaurant $, bars, bookstores, gaming stores...
The US could see a 30-40% decline in new international student enrollment, resulting in nearly $7 billion in lost revenue and more than 60,000 fewer American jobs. https://www.nafsa.org/fall-2025-international-student-enrollment-outlook-and-economic-impact

😅facing climate change, long term economic recession, advancement of AI, high living costs, declining political and social freedom, is it really surprising to anyone why Gen Z loves the idea of carpe diem?? You can’t take all their hope away and then blame them for being shortsighted.
Nearly half of Gen Z adults say planning for the future feels “pointless,” according to a recent Credit Karma poll.
When it comes to saving, Gen Z asks: 'What's the point?' That's dangerous, expert says
Many feel frustrated by a tough job market and worried about debt, experts said.

The exclusion of Chinese was extremely violent. For many Asian immigrants, even Americans who’re Asian descents, rarely knew much about it. I even didn’t know more about this history until last year. Check this book out to learn more about the horrific past and its lingering effects on today.

This is terrible but it is also misleading. The US government is not the accreditor - they've basically written a letter to Columbia's *actual* accreditor and demanded that they take action.
BREAKING: Columbia University no longer meets accreditation standards after violating antidiscrimination laws, the US says
White House Threatens Columbia’s Accreditation Over Protests
The Education Department said Columbia University no longer appeared to meet accreditation standards after concluding that the school is in violation of anti-discrimination laws, the latest effort by the Trump administration to target elite schools over their handling of pro-Palestinian protests.
