The Trump Administration's rules on student visas is hurting international student enrollment and the billions of dollars they add to the Midwest's economy

International students have traditionally been able to stay in the country for as long as they needed to finish their academic programs. The Trump administration is changing that policy, leaving Missouri and Kansas students and college officials worried about the future.

For international students heading to college this fall, the usual questions about housing, classes and finding community come with an added layer of uncertainty: changing federal immigration policies. New reporting from the Midwest Newsroom examines how those policies are affecting international enrollment — and the bottom line of colleges and universities across the region, including in Missouri. We talk with Midwest Newsroom reporting fellow Steph Conquest-Ware about what they found.

In this segment, host Taranjeet Kaur Ghuman was joined by Sikander Singh for a discussion on the ongoing protests in Calgary over recent work permit refusals affecting international students.

What does it really take to move across the world at 18, navigate a new city alone, and build a life from scratch? In this episode, Asami is joined by Divnoor Kaur, a Punjabi-Indian psychology graduate and early childhood diploma student who has been quietly determined to be part of Shapes and Sounds since 2023. It took three years, but we're so grateful that she made it here!The conversation also features voice memos from Tina Liu, a bilingual psychologist at one of our Practice Partners, MindBodyHeart Psychology, and former international student herself, who reflects on the challenges she witnessed both as a student and as a practitioner working with migrants and international students every day.Together, Asami, Divnoor, and Tina unpack what people get wrong about the international student experience: it's not just about managing study and a part-time job. It's about navigating racism you didn't expect, housing markets that weren't built for you, support services you didn't know existed, and a homesickness that only hits once you've left.This is one for every international student, every person who loves one, and everyone who has ever felt like a fish discovering what water actually is.

Mark Towhey hosts the Jerry Agar show today and opens with the international student crisis. Hundreds of students are suddenly being denied Canadian work permits. Mark argues Canada needs more international students, calling them a tariff‑proof economic engine. A Peel police officer accidentally left a loaded gun in a Square One change room. Mark asks: Can someone who forgets their gun in a change room be a cop? He argues police should meet a higher professional standard. Mark then takes calls on car pricing: Do you miss window stickers showing price and features on dealership lots? Have you ever bought a car online? Does it kill the joy of browsing? He then speaks with Stephanie Carvin, former national security analyst and now associate professor at Carleton, about whether recent shootings targeting Toronto’s Jewish community, the U.S. consulate, and possibly INKAS could be linked to IRGC operatives reportedly at large in Canada.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes mentions of eating disorders and depression. Please approach this carefully. If this doesn't feel right for you today, skip ahead or return when you're ready.What happens when your culture is something you only truly discover after leaving it behind? In this episode, Asami sits down with Cait, a Filipino-Chinese undergraduate psychology student, youth mental health advocate, and owner of 11 dogs (!) each with their own personality and their own wanted-poster photo frame.Cait moved from the Philippines to Melbourne to study psychology, carrying with her a history of depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder, none of which she disclosed when she arrived. "I had a clean slate," she says, "and it really backfired on me." What followed was a year and a half of navigating a new country, a fragmented mental health system, and the slow, surprising discovery of who she actually was as a Filipino, something she never had to think about back home.In this conversation with Asami, Cait opens up about the Filipino concept of kakayanin (to endure), how colonialism has shaped the way Filipinos understand mental health, why a diagnosis in the Philippines can feel more like a kryptonite than a lifeline, and what it means to fight for culturally grounded mental health research. This one is warm, funny, and deeply honest, and it's the kind of conversation that reminds you why representation in mental health spaces is a non-negotiable, not a "nice to have".

What does it take to move to a new country at 19, navigate culture shock, come out as gay while studying psychology, work through perfectionism and shame, and eventually build your own clinical practice? In this episode, Dr. Zhi Xiang On takes us on that journey with warmth, humour, and remarkable honesty.On moved from Klang, Malaysia to Melbourne to study psychology at 19. What started as curiosity about a big city quickly became a complex navigation of identity, belonging, and self-discovery. From not understanding why everyone walked so much, to learning that "Asian Australian" was a thing, to spending two hours crying before coming out to a friend, to eventually becoming a clinical psychologist, forensic psychologist, and clinical neuropsychologist, On's story is both deeply personal and universally relatable.In this conversation with Asami, On opens up about the pressures of college party culture when you come from a conservative family, the guarded way he first approached university counselling, the moment a professor pointed out what he wasn't ready to hear about his sexual identity, and how working through his own "parts" transformed not just his studies but his entire approach to being a therapist.This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they had to perform being okay, anyone navigating identity while far from home, and anyone wondering what it really means to "work on yourself."

Why is it so hard to find help as an international student in Australia? When services exist but feel impossible to access, when information is scattered across a dozen websites, and when you're not even sure what "good therapy" looks like... where do you even start?In this episode of the Asian Mental Health Podcast, Marcus sits down with Vinca Metta Julicia and Sania Jatin Prabhu, two international students and Student Changemakers participants, for an honest conversation about what it's really like trying to navigate mental health services in Melbourne.Vinca, from Indonesia, has studied architecture in Taiwan and urban design in Melbourne. Sania, originally from India with time in South Africa, is pursuing her Master of AI at Monash. Together, they break down the barriers international students face: the one-month wait times for uni counseling, the confusion about costs and confidentiality, the fear that seeking help might affect your visa, and the overwhelming reality that no single place exists to guide you through it all.But this episode isn't just about what's broken. It's also about what helps: ClassPass and bouldering for moving your body, BumbleBFF for finding community, The Couch for free meals and connection, and the small acts of resilience that keep students going when the system fails them.

The Australian government has once again raised visa application fees for international students, while maintaining lower charges for eligible Pacific Island and Timor-Leste applicants. The fee for the post-higher education visa, also known as the Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) visa, which allows international graduates to live and work in Australia for up to two years, has increased from $4,600 to $5,750. In 2024, the government announced that student visa fees would rise from $710 to $1,600. Since then, the fee has been increased further, from $1,600 to $2,000, and now to $2,500.

New Zealand appears to be bucking a global downturn in demand from Indian students. The BBC reports Indian students are increasingly reconsidering study abroad options, driven by a weaker currency, visa restrictions, and dimmer job prospects in the UK and US. But Waikato University Vice-Chancellor Neil Quigley told Mike Hosking Indian enrolments are expected to hold steady over the next year, matching levels seen over the past 18 months. He says they're probably at the same level as Chinese students, or possibly stronger. Quigley says one factor supporting demand here is the relatively weak New Zealand dollar against international currencies. He says the depreciation of the rupee has not affected the New Zealand dollar as much as it has the pound or US dollar. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand's seeing renewed growth in international education, with rising demand from both major and emerging markets. Education New Zealand data shows more than 92 thousand international students enrolled last year, up 11% on the year prior. China and India make up almost half of all enrolments. Acting Chief Executive Linda Sissons told Mike Hosking we're sitting at around 80% of our pre-Covid numbers, but the difference between then and now is the focus on value as well as volume. She says we're on track for both, as in the past year we've exceeded their target of export earnings and are sitting just below the target for enrolments.

Today we have a slightly different type of show for you. One of FreshEd's producers, Lushik Wahba, created an amazing podcast about the experiences of international students at one small college in the USA. Over 1 million international students currently study at colleges and universities across America. Why did they choose to study in the USA? What can we learn from their experiences? Lushik's podcast gives voice to some of those students, showcasing the promise and challenges of internationalization. Born and raised in Cairo, Lushik Wahba came of age during the 2011 Egyptian Revolution. This was a time when citizen journalism flourished, and she saw first-hand the power of an informed public. Growing up in such an environment inspired her to work in media. At 16 she earned a scholarship to study at the United World College in Bosnia and Herzegovina. After high school, she moved to Vermont to attend Bennington College. She just graduated in May but before doing so she put together this podcast, featuring many of her fellow international students. Lushik is determined to pursue a career in producing podcasts and documentaries that focus on issues affecting marginalized populations around the world. We know Lushik has a bright future in media in front of her, well-beyond the FreshEd podcast, so we are extremely lucky to be able to air one of her first podcasts for you today.

Australia's largest survey into migrant working conditions has exposed alarming evidence of widespread and systemic wage underpayment. The report, released by the Migrant Justice Initiative, found that two-thirds of migrant workers are earning less than their legal entitlements under the Fair Work Act, while international students alone are losing an estimated $3.18 billion in unpaid wages each year. Researchers say the findings also shed important new light on the tactics employers are using to hide and perpetuate workplace exploitation.

Universities in Britain rely on overseas applicants paying full fees, which has given rise to some unscrupulous recruiters and left many hopefuls and their families deep in debt By Samira Shackle. Read by Dinita Gohil. Help support our independent journalism at theguardian.com/longreadpod

Australia continues to be a major destination for students from Nepal, the Indian subcontinent, and around the world, bringing both opportunities and challenges associated with international student life. One organisation supporting students from diverse backgrounds is The Break, where Melbourne-based Bachelor of Social Work student Sristina Ghimire is currently undertaking her placement.

Thrive Allen County played a key role in meeting with students and transforming their ideas into actions. In this week's episode of “Registered,” Charles explains why Allen students decided to host a food festival and what their hopes for the event are.

How do I share Jesus with someone who practices a different faith?We're continuing our “Evangelism when…” series this week with a conversation about navigating the complexities of evangelism with a friend who's invested in a faith practice other than Christianity. Turns out, it has a lot more to do with connecting and far less with convincing. (Pro tip… we're learning that's the case in most scenarios.)We're joined by Eva Glick, Associate Director with InterVarsity's International Student ministry department. Eva is passionate about students and alumni like you developing meaningful relationships with people from different countries, cultures, and faith backgrounds.
