Need some good news? International students remain positive about the US despite political turmoil, according to a new Interstride survey I helped produce. Quality academics and OPT remain key drivers, so as long as those remain intact, students are largely undeterred. However, half of the surveyed students have a "Plan B" study destination in mind, should visa challenges arise. While the student sample is small, it could be a taster for broader #intled sentiment - take a look! With thanks to Nitin Agrawal Judy Chen!

More closures, mergers, and partnerships as institutions consolidate ?? Rising innovation to meet student and employer needs ?? A shift toward affordable, career-focused education ??
