‘Should I Still Move There?’: An International Student’s Dilemma About America In The Age Of Trump. Donald Trump’s victory has some thinking twice about studying in the U.S.

The Huffington Post continues its' phrase of grief and sadness:

Cecilia W’emedi went to bed on Nov. 8 with a sense of uneasiness.

The next morning, her brother delivered the news that Donald Trump had been elected president of the United States. She laughed, thinking he was messing with her.

But when the 19-year-old South African realized Trump’s unlikely victory was no joke, she slumped onto her bed, shocked and disappointed. She had followed the nearly two-year-long U.S. presidential race, but she never expected Trump would actually win.

W’emedi lives in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, but she was raised all over Africa; she was born in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo and moved to Kenya, then Nigeria and eventually Ghana, all before age 10. She is now applying to universities in the U.S. for undergraduate study next fall. She has her heart set on New York University, but is also applying to Boston University, Northwestern and Columbia.

After she learned of Trump’s victory, she was no longer sure about moving to the U.S. “I felt sick to the pit of my stomach,” she told The Huffington Post. “And one thing came to mind: ‘Should I still move there?’”

More than a million international students attend college in the U.S., and thousands more will join them next fall. W’emedi is not alone in grappling with the decision of whether it’s still safe to come here. The incoming Trump administration has given pause to many international applicants. “It’s the main topic of conversation among my friends,” Palak Gera, a 21-year-old from India told the New York Times last month. “They don’t want to apply to the U.S. under Trump.”

America isn't for everyone.
