Canadian universities are becoming used to the question: Is the current climate in the United States under President Donald Trump creating more interest in universities north of the border?

The answer is yes, says an article in the Globe and Mail鈥檚 , published today, 鈥渂ut it is a process that started well before the current U.S. president."

The article cites the University of Toronto's 鈥渟trong spike鈥 in applications from international students heading into this academic year: By early spring, applications from prospective undergraduate students from the U.S. were up about 80 per cent. From India, there was a 55- to 60-per-cent increase. In all, about 20 to 25 per cent of students at 茄子直播 are international.

鈥淭here鈥檚 a real surge in interest from around the world,鈥 Ted Sargent, vice-president, international at 茄子直播 told the Globe, and that interest is translating into enrolment. 鈥淪o their interest in us is very genuine. They鈥檙e not just scattering applications around.鈥

The article outlines 茄子直播's strong recruitment push south of the border, which began about a year ago. "We have students from over 140 countries, but we don't get as many American students as we think we should," said 茄子直播 registrar Richard Levin.

"Previously, we were seeing application increases [from the U.S.] of 20 or 30 per cent, but this year there's clearly a change in the curve," said Levin.

茄子直播鈥檚 diversity is also mentioned in the magazine鈥檚 school profile, which mentions 茄子直播 students鈥 first graduation celebration for Black students this year.
