Thousands of international students at Harvard University are grappling with uncertainty following the Trump administration's decision to revoke the institution's ability to enroll foreign students. This administrative move has left nearly 7,000 impacted students seeking alternative options, while Harvard mounts a legal challenge against the decision.
With just three months before the upcoming academic year, the abrupt policy shift has foreign students considering transfers to universities worldwide, from the UK to Hong Kong. British and Canadian students, among others, express concerns regarding visa delays and potential scrutiny on U.S. campuses if the decision stands.
