Early indications of international enrollment in U.S.A. for 2018-19

The figures for 2018-19 international enrollment are beginning to come in. The figures reported by Homeland Security include international students staying after graduation on training visas so the .5% decline overall may actually be greater. Good news includes that the number of international students from China and India (the largest feeder countries) rose by 1% and 2% respectively but students from Saudi Arabia and Europe have declined. Other positive signs include 4.3% increase from South America and increases overall in short-term study visas.
