A Hong Kong college has promised “unconditional offers” for international students at Harvard after the Trump administration revoked the Ivy League’s ability to enroll them.
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) said it would help “ensure a smooth transition” for students who may be unable to enroll for the next school year.
The White House’s attempt to prevent Harvard enrolling international students next year is the latest blow in its fight with America’s oldest—and richest—university, which refused to comply with government’s demands to change how it hires and teaches. The U.S. government is cracking down on elite colleges it alleges are overrun by left-wing extremists and antisemitic movements.
China would be my first choice outside of Europe if I ended up having to leave the US as-is, wouldn’t take much for that to end up the first choice full stop.
Have you actually been to China, and are you Han Chinese? If you answer no to either of those questions, China would be a terrible move. Xenophobia turned up to 11.
Dunno about Xenophobia, but most people I’ve talked to who studied in China seemed to have enjoyed it. Even met someone who lived there for almost a decade and only moved when he felt like changing jobs for something more relaxed.
tbf though, they came from south asia (green & white), so seeing actual quality infrastructure and not a metric ton of corruption everywhere was probably a breath of fresh air.
I’m kind of used to being immersed in xenophobia after living in America for so long. This is also the reason I’m not seeing Europe as a particularly great destination either, the options aren’t great right now tbh.
