Description
Universities have been battling it out to woo international students. Can they survive without them?

"The value of an experience and of a degree are really going to be put under a microscope over the next few years."Sources: Universities set to turn away hundreds of thousands of students, by Robert Bolton, Australian Financial ReviewBeyond $300 Billion: The Global Impact of International Students --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/borderlinepod/message
