Travel ban coming in? Here’s what top US universities are advising international students before Donald Trump’s inauguration

Once Donald Trump becomes the President of The United States after the inauguration ceremony, he may impose bans on foreign travel, which would create a problem for international students who have been enrolled in top US universities including the likes of Cornell, Harvard, Stanford, and others. Therefore, administrators of these universities, along with a few other institutions, are already advising foreign students upon returning back to the country at the earliest, before Donald Trump takes the oath at the inauguration ceremony on January 20, 2025.

Donald Trump to issue a travel ban after inauguration ceremony?

The last time Donald Trump was the President, she had imposed restrictions on entry to the US from seven countries, that had a huge Muslim population. Moreover, he kept on adding more countries to this travel ban list during his administration back then. With Trump coming back to power, the fears about the same thing happening are already creating major fear in the hearts of international students who are now enrolled in top US universities, with their semester classes beginning on January 21, as per reports.

China and India could be added to travel ban list, say reports

Cornell’s Office of Global Learning is one of the first to issue a cautionary warning to students of their institution, and on their website, they have put up a notice warning students to return back to the country while Joe Biden’s administration is still in power in the United States. Moreover, there are high chances that China and India, which make up the maximum number of foreign students in the US, could also be added to this travel restriction list by Trump in January.
