Hussain Saeed Alnahdi was
one of the almost 400 international students attending the University of
Wisconsin-Stout.
Twenty-four-year-old Alnahdi
was from Saudi Arabia. He began his studies at the school in the Midwestern
part of the United States last year. But early on the morning of October 30,
Alnahdi’s experience as an international student came to a violent end. An
unnamed attacker beat him until he died outside a restaurant in the city of
Menomonie.
A few weeks later, police
announced they had arrested a suspect. They said they do not believe the attack
was a hate crime, or a crime influenced by race.
But events like the attack
in Wisconsin have raised concerns for many international students living and
studying in the U.S.
Study in the U.S.A. is a
company that supports international students who want to study at American
colleges and universities. A few days before the U.S. presidential election,
the company released the results of an opinion study of 1,000 international
students from 130 countries. Over 65 percent of the students said they would be
less likely to study in the U.S. if Donald Trump were elected president.
FPP EDU Media also works
with international students. The company released its own survey of 40,000
students in June. Those results suggested 60 percent of their students felt the
same way.
