This pattern of rising international enrolments in US higher ed was not likely to continue on its pre-pandemic trajectory. Other countries have been building up their higher education options. In addition, if you were a young entrepreneur or professional from China or India, the possibilities for building your career in your home country look a lot better now than they did, say, back in about 1990. But the pandemic has taken what would have been a slower-motion squeeze on international students coming to US higher education and turned it into an immediate bite....Conversable Economist

Also, the dependence of US hockey varsity on Canadian students.
Both nephews (one in grade 11, other 10) are being scouted by US universities. No, I am not bragging. I think the emphasis of sports over education is a waste. As I told my brother, "You want dumb jocks (face it, they're usually dumb), or do you want doctors?" Fool chose the former. That's why, you see, I've nicknamed my brother "hockey-dad Mitch."
Higher education: yet another money-making racket.
