Are you an international student living with uncertainty due to recent Trump administration immigration policies? Have your school or travel plans been disrupted as a result? Or have federal funding cuts and freezes on research grants changed how you feel about studying in the United States? Is it still a land of opportunity?
The Boston Globe is looking to speak with current and prospective international students — both undergraduates and graduate students — with plans to attend American colleges and universities at a critical moment for both higher education and the US more broadly. We are also interested in talking to school faculty and staff who work with international students.
Our higher education and immigration reporters have been covering all of these issues and more, with an eye on stories both local and national. At last count, Massachusetts had the largest number of international students of any New England state, at around 79,000.
