New Research Findings

International Students Are More Socially Isolated than Domestic Students, and the Gap Is Growing After COVID-19

From the 2018-2019 to the 2020-2021 academic years, the proportion of international students with social isolation ranged from 2.2-2.6 raw percentage points higher than domestic students (see Table 2 below). Rates of social isolation were higher for all students in the 2021-2022 academic year. However, the difference in social isolation between international and domestic students grew to 4.5% during that year. In other words, the difference in rates of social isolation between international and domestic students nearly doubled after the onset of COVID-19.
