(From USA Today) As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office, colleges are warning international students of potential immigration policy changes. Institutions like Cornell, Yale, and MIT have urged students to return to the U.S. before inauguration, citing concerns over travel bans and visa delays. Cornell advised students and faculty to anticipate longer visa processing times and carry proof of university ties at Customs. These concerns arise as U.S. colleges experience record international enrollment, reversing declines seen before and during the pandemic.
