href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/education\/college\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. colleges<\/a> has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, according to a new report released Monday.<\/p>\n<p>International student enrollment at U.S. colleges for the fall 2025 semester dropped by 17%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/data-graphics\/new-international-student-enrollment-fell-sharply-us-trump-immigration-rcna243295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">NBCNews.com reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That figure represents &#8220;the largest nonpandemic decline in the last 11 years,&#8221; the report said, citing data from the Institute of International Education (IIE).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/rubios-state-department-yanks-more-than-6k-student-visas-due-assault-burglary-support-terrorism\" target=\"_blank\"

than the previous year, which saw only a 7% decrease in international student enrollment.<\/p>\n<p>About half of the 825 U.S. institutions surveyed by IIE reported declines in enrollment among international students.<\/p>\n<p>Fanta Aw, CEO of international education non-profit NAFSA: Association of International Educators, told NBC that &#8220;The U.S. is no longer the central place that students aspire to come to.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/house-democrats-call-rubio-allow-injured-children-from-gaza-us-following-visa-halt\" target=\"_blank\"

rel=\"nofollow noopener\">paused the scheduling<\/a> of new visa interviews in May, which NBC reported has caused &#8220;long application backlogs&#8221; for foreign students seeking to study in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-admin-plans-impose-4-year-limits-foreign-students-studying-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced a rule<\/a> in August limiting the length of time people with student visas could remain in the U.S. to four years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A DHS press release said the proposal seeks to curb &#8220;visa abuse&#8221; and increase the agency&#8217;s ability to &#8220;properly vet and oversee these individuals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\"

generosity&#8221; and become &#8220;forever students&#8221; by remaining enrolled in colleges so they could stay in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Aw said these and other visa challenges have made the U.S. &#8220;less competitive&#8221; compared to other nations where international students pursue higher education.<\/p>\n<p>According to NAFSA, the 17% drop in enrollment represents about a $1 billion loss to the U.S. economy, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/trump-says-harvard-agreement-international-students-may-announced-within-week\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international students<\/a> contributed $43 billion last year.<\/p>\n<p>The White House and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital&#8217;s request for
