- Abstract
This study was conducted to describe major issues that international students face when studying in the US and examine the social and political dimensions of the study abroad process and context from theoretical and practical perspectives. To critically analyze contemporary issues regarding recently changing policies for international students, a literature review and evidence from newspaper articles and official webpages were utilized. Findings indicate that getting or changing a visa and maintaining a legal status are priority concerns for international students to study and work stably in the U.S., and these issues have caused a decline of new international students enrolled in schools in the U.S. To enhance U.S. competitiveness for international students and to maximize students’ exposure to U.S. society, immigration laws and regulations pertaining to employment must be updated in extended ways. This examination can provide some insight into the impact of social contexts and political influences on international students’ education, as well as the impact that university leaders have on promoting diversity and inclusion in our society.
