flag U.S. visa crackdowns are slashing international student enrollment in Ohio, hurting university funding and local economies.

flag Ohio universities are seeing overall enrollment growth due to expanded STEM, AI, and business programs, along with student incentives like in-state tuition and automatic admission for high-GPA applicants. flag However, international student enrollment is sharply declining, with drops of up to 37% at schools like Ohio State and Cleveland State, and about 700 lost graduate students at the University of Cincinnati. flag The trend, primarily affecting students from India and China in engineering, IT, and science fields, is linked to stricter U.S. visa policies, delayed interviews, and heightened immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, creating uncertainty and deterring applicants. flag The decline threatens university finances, as international students often pay higher tuition, and impacts local economies through reduced spending and research activity.
