Any prospective international student reading this should REALLY reconsider education in the US. The administration is using everyone as pawns in a massive game of vote pandering.

It's hard enough to study hard and achieve goals. Why come here where you will be treated like unwanted foreigners at best and asylees who should be arrested at worst?

My partner has been struggling with the US immigration system her entire stay here. With this administration things have gone even further downhill. They're violently, cruelly dedicated to the idea of shutting down immigration and dying a slow intellectual death.
International students should simply avoid America all together. There are too many risks, consequences, and pitfalls to make it worth wild.
Sadly I made that decision few years ago and I regret it. I came into Canada, and from what I see, industry and research is not even close to USA.

All the research and industry in the US is shattered. Even if it isn't, the administration is making sure it won't be accessible to you.

Don't have a view a America with rose tinted eyes. The America of the past is gone, all vanished in the last 4 years.
