Survey reveals students feel unwelcome in wake of UK visa changes

A survey of 5,000 international post-secondary students has found that changes to the UK visa system are leading more students to feel they are no longer welcome to study there. The survey, which was conducted by the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), found that nearly one in five respondents disagreed with the statement that "the UK welcomes well-qualified students".
