Chinese students have spoken of the uncertainty they and other international students feel after US President Donald Trump’s administration left them in limbo after revoking Harvard’s right to enrol them.
The Department of Homeland Security said the measure would take effect immediately, adding that foreign students already studying there must transfer to another university or lose their legal status.
“There’s literally nothing we can do at the moment,” said a first-year undergraduate who asked not to be named.
She said transfers to another university were out of the question as the deadline for doing so – typically early to mid-March – had passed.
“We’re just waiting for news from the school. There’s too little information now, but the dust hasn’t settled yet.”
Foreigners made up around 27 per cent of Harvard’s student body in the past academic year.
