US colleges look outside China for new foreign students

Any drop could financially hurt US colleges, which typically charge international students full tuition. To avoid that, colleges are starting to send recruiters to growing countries they’ve never visited before. UMass-Amherst sent a recruiter to Mexico for the first time this year. The University at Buffalo is planning its first recruiting trip to Iran next year. But many colleges say they’ll continue to recruit from China while expanding their reach.
