Across the world, college students are experiencing shifts in both education and their daily lives. The coronavirus pandemic has challenged humans and their ability to adapt and interact. However, it seems that international students are being hit the hardest.
In addition to virtual learning, students are faced with travel bans, visa issues, and different time zones. According to
Penn State Global, in June 2020, Penn State had more than 11,000 international students, scholars, and faculty. International students make up a large percentage of the student body, and not only do they bring money to the school, but also recognition, programs, and enhance the overall Penn State experience.
