A new global survey shows a noticeable drop in international undergraduate numbers at US and UK universities, down 13% and 19% year-on-year (between October and August, compared with the same period a year earlier).
More students are now choosing schools in Asia and continental Europe instead.

Universities that rely on higher tuition from these students are feeling the pinch.
