US colleges face $1 billion loss as new international student enrollment drops sharply in 2025

New international student enrolment at US colleges fell 17% in fall 2025, largely due to visa restrictions and policy changes under the Trump administration. The decline is projected to cost the US economy nearly $1 billion, including lost tuition and student spending, according to NAFSA and Implan. International students contributed $55 billion to the economy in 2024-25, supporting local businesses, jobs, and scholarships. Colleges face reduced resources for faculty, programmes, and domestic student financial aid.< a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/education/news/us-colleges-face-1-billion-loss-as-new-international-student-enrollment-drops-sharply-in-2025/articleshow/125675471.cms">READ MORE
