Harvard Reports 31% Drop in Indian Students Amid Record International Enrollment

Harvard University saw a 31% decline in Indian student enrollment in fall 2025, dropping to 545 students, while its overall international student share reached a record 28%, totaling 6,749 students. This slight increase of about 50 international students contrasts with a 1% national decline in foreign enrollments. Enrollment from China and South Korea grew, amid ongoing tensions and legal disputes between Harvard and the Trump administration over funding and visa restrictions targeting international students.
