UConn’s international student enrollment has dipped below 10% of the student body for the first time in 5 years.

Since fall 2021, the percent of international students has hovered around 10%.

There are 262 fewer international students enrolled this year than last year, an 8% decrease.

Stephanie Reitz, spokesperson for the University of Connecticut, said recently that “The University isn’t attributing the enrollment decrease to any specific factors.”

“The enrollment decrease was more modest than UConn anticipated,” she said. “Undergraduate enrollment from China and India decreased, in keeping with recent trends; and increases occurred from other countries, notably Vietnam, also in keeping with recent years.”
