Harvard University is in court against the Trump administration, fighting federal attempts to end international student enrolment at the university and challenging the federal freeze on research funds.
In May, international students at Harvard were ordered to transfer schools or lose their legal status. While that order was swiftly blocked by a judge, it is one of a series of events creating uncertainty on campuses across the US.
We would like to hear from international students who are new, or returning, on how they feel about the upcoming academic year. Are you approaching this semester differently than you have before? If you are a freshman, what, if anything, have you done to prepare?
