Pretty sad that even the Saudi's don't want to come here anymore, but I get it.

America is no longer viewed as the country where many had studied and grew up. Parents and grandparents of college students point to what they see as an alarming decline in social mores, lawlessness and the threat to personal safety, and a gradual deterioration of cultural values and ethics.

Today you hear of the homeless, the random acts of violence and shootings, of mind-boggling gender issues, of brazen crimes taking place in front of people, and, of course, we as parents are cautious about where our children go. Germany and Japan today are seen as viable and much safer alternatives. Sadly, that was then, and this is now.’

American universities themselves shoulder much of the blame. They have been hijacked by the irrational wokesters preaching their absurd rubbish like critical race theory and social justice. Foreign students don't want to have this crazy nonsense stuffed down their throats so they are looking at alternatives outside of America where they can study without the woke bullcrap.

I think you are right, combine that with the areas I highlighted, and it makes sense that the families of foreign students would send their kids elsewhere.
