Harvard Sees Decline in Indian Student Enrollment Amid US International Student Trends

Harvard University saw a 31% decline in Indian student enrollment in fall 2025, dropping to 545 students despite reaching its highest-ever share of international students at 28%. While Harvard's overall international enrollment slightly increased, US universities experienced a nationwide drop in foreign student numbers, particularly in graduate programs. This trend reflects broader impacts of the Trump administration's immigration policies, including visa restrictions and funding challenges, affecting international student admissions across the country.
