Written By Bob Gump

Indiana's nearly 30,000 international students contributed around $1 billion to the Hoosier economy during the 2023-24 school year.

Why it matters: The Trump administration is halting student visa interviews and revoking visas for Chinese students amid a political pressure campaign against colleges and universities and a broader immigration crackdown.

  • A big drop in international students could hurt college town economies, some of which are already struggling due to lower enrollment.
