16. Why the U.S. Needs International Students – And How to Keep Them Coming

Millions of students worldwide go abroad for higher education every year, and U.S. colleges have long been their top choice – but that may be under threat. International education expert Rajika Bhandari says the country’s immigration policies often ignore what these students bring to the table: bolstering college bottom lines, diversifying classrooms, and building the economy. Rajika spoke to Ben about her memoir, “America Calling,” and how she’d like to improve the “troubled tango” between the United States and the international students who call it home.  Higher Ed Spotlight is a podcast, sponsored by Chegg’s Center for Digital Learning, that aims to explore the future of higher education today.
