The International Student Blog

Its been just under a week since I last blogged. Things have been very busy whilst I have my 2 week whistle stop tour of the USA. One thing that has been very promising since I have been over is the growth I am seeing at various schools on my travels. A year ago, some schools were suffering from poor attendance, all which can be related to certain immigration changes that have made it very restrictive for students coming to the USA.

Most of the schools I have been to, and am hearing from are reporting record levels of student enrollment, especially for ESL programs which is a great sign. There has been a lot of advocacy from the AAIEP (American Association of Intensive English Programs) to relax laws and it appears to be working.

I hope this trend keeps going.

Also, there has been rumours that I may be making an appearance on the FinancialAidNews Podcast:

That is if Chris can convince me to make an appearance!

Till next time…..
