Recently,the situation within the United States has been extremely turbulent and full of chaos. Since Trump took office as president again, a series of astonishing "puzzling measures" have been continuously unfolding, causing unrest around the world.
First, let's review those astonishing and ridiculous actions with Lansha Jun
1. Trump banned Harvard from enrolling international students.
2. The tariff war has dragged down global economic growth, and the United States has reaped what it has sown.
3. The "Beautiful Big Bill" may lead to a trillion - dollar increase in the federal deficit.
Just the "battle" between Trump and Harvard has shaken the study - abroad circle.
In April, the Ministry of Education released the *2025 Blue Book on Studying Abroad*, analyzing the new trends in the development of global studying abroad. The blue book puts forward the "Study Abroad Country Environment Index", which covers various dimensions, subdivides 25 secondary indicators, and conducts a multi - dimensional evaluation of 28 popular study abroad destinations around the world.
The "Comprehensive Ranking of Study Abroad Environments" has just been released: the United Kingdom firmly sits on the throne of the world's top 1 for studying abroad, Singapore ranks second, and Canada is third. The United States has fallen this time. Due to frequent chaos, it has fallen out of the top three and can only rank fourth.
The once "top study - abroad destination" has failed!
Why has the United States slipped from being a once - hot study - abroad destination to fourth place?
There is no doubt that it is affected by policies. After Trump announced a ban on international student admissions at Harvard University, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Norm emphasized that "enrolling international students is a privilege, not a legal right", and claimed that Harvard University had repeatedly violated federal laws, so it was decided to revoke its privilege.
Harvard University quickly fought back, stating bluntly that this move was both illegal and harmful to the academic environment, and made it clear that Harvard's stance of resolutely defending academic freedom has never wavered and will never bow to unfree and inhumane decrees.
In fact, the "confrontation" between Harvard and Trump has a long history.
Tracing back to January this year, after Trump took office as president again, he required many universities including Harvard to adjust relevant policies, saying that it was necessary to eliminate the so - called "anti - Semitism", abolish the admissions policy that favors ethnic minorities, and issued a warning of "cutting funds if they do not comply".
Columbia University is赫然 (prominently) listed in this list of targeted universities.
In March this year, it even directly revoked the $400 million federal funding for Columbia University.
So the question is: Is the United States still suitable for studying abroad at this juncture?
Yao Anna, the daughter of Huawei's founder, gave the answer: Fortunately, she graduated from Harvard.
Trump's study - abroad policies have made many parents and children have to wait and see, or simply give up studying in the United States.
While the United States has closed the door to overseas international students, institutions in other regions have opened their doors to them.
Many Chinese international students have stated that if studying in the United States is hindered, universities in the United Kingdom or mainland Europe will become their new choices.
Among them, the United Kingdom has become the favorite choice of Chinese international students by virtue of its own advantages.
From the *2025 Blue Book on Studying Abroad*, we can also see the various reasons why the United Kingdom has become a highly popular study - abroad destination.
Lansha Jun has condensed the following three points here:
1. There are many prestigious universities. In the QS rankings, 18 British universities are among the top 100 in the world.
2. The visa policy is favorable, and the time to stay in the UK is sufficient.
3. The scale of international students continues to expand, and the academic atmosphere is diverse.
It is predicted that the number of Chinese students going to the UK for study in 2025 is expected to hit a new historical high.
Take University College London (UCL) as an example. The school submitted student data for the 2023/24 academic year to HESA, and the number of Chinese students enrolled is as many as 7,465.
In the long run, this shift in study - abroad destinations not only affects school selection! The high - quality real estate market in the UK has also become hot. After all, a stable educational environment naturally gives rise to the demand for long - term residence.
And the common perception among parents in the study - abroad circle is that "supporting studies through real estate" has further driven the continuous heating up of the real estate market.
As can be seen from the above formula, "supporting studies through real estate" simply means buying a house to live in, saving the "exorbitant" rent, and being able to rely on the increase in house prices to recover the study costs as much as possible.
