Decline in Indian Student Arrivals to the US
The number of Indian students arriving in the US has dropped sharply, nearly halving due to restrictive visa policies under the Trump administration. In July 2025, student visa arrivals fell by 46%, contributing to a larger trend that threatens US colleges' financial stability. With projected declines in foreign student enrollment this autumn, the education sector could lose $2.6 billion in tuition. Immigration hurdles and visa delays have created uncertainty, further complicating the situation. This decline raises concerns about the future of international education in the US.
