International students in US drop

Using data from IIE Open Doors, Stuart Anderson from Forbes reports that international student enrollment in US colleges has dropped to 914,095. The greatest declines are Asian students in STEM disciplines. While the falling numbers are certainly impacted by COVID-19, numbers had begun falling before the pandemic (-7%). International student enrollment in Canadian universities has increased considerably over the same time period (25%), suggesting decline is not wholly explained by the pandemic.
