Some of my favorite people to meet in college were foreign students. You get to meet diverse people and learn about the world. It's only a win if college is 20% cheaper this year. It's not.
- ahmeneeroe-v2 1y agoWhat is the cost of "meeting diverse people" and can the average US student afford that. Every benefit must be judged by its cost.
- yongjik 1y agoNow that full-tuition-paying international students are gone, the average US students will have even harder time affording that. Congratulations.
- ModernMech 1y agoForeign money coming in will have to be made up elsewhere. It will be made up by raising tuition on remaining students. Schools that have a small enough applicant pool will price out their applicants and close. Likely they will be replaced by for-profit grifts that are much more affordable but don't actually do anything for the students except bilk them. The largest most international most diverse most administratively bloated schools will be fine. It's the small mostly-white rural colleges that will suffer the most.
- ceejayoz 1y ago> What is the cost of "meeting diverse people"… In this case, it's self-funding. International students subsidize much cheaper in-state tuition.
