Kaustubh: 我一直梦想着能在美国深造，特别是参观斯坦福大学后，那里的学术氛围和自由度深深吸引了我。为了实现这个目标，我努力学习，参与各种项目，并获得了航空公司的实习机会。然而，特朗普政府的强硬移民政策让我感到我的梦想正在破灭，这让我非常沮丧。 Sudhanshu Kaushik: 我认为美国政府对外国学生的限制实际上是美国内部文化冲突的体现，他们试图使文化更加单一化。这种做法在经济上是毫无意义的，因为印度学生每年为美国经济贡献超过80亿美元，并且他们是许多顶尖科技公司的骨干力量。 Anand Shankar: 我接触到的一些印度学生表示，他们愿意推迟到2028年再考虑留学，而另一些学生则已经彻底放弃了在美国学习的计划。这反映出当前政策的不确定性对学生们造成了很大的影响。 Nihar Gokhale: 我认为美国一直以来都非常依赖外国学生的智慧和创新能力。研究生和博士生是你能找到的最优秀的人才。限制他们实际上并不利于特朗普总统提出的“让美国再次伟大”的目标。
