Harvard University claims that all distance education will be conducted in the new academic year. What is the impact on international students?

The biggest impact of distance teaching on international students is that the teaching effect will be greatly reduced, but on this basis, we will lose money, because Harvard University says that even the tuition fee of 50 thousand dollars a year for distance teaching will not be discounted.

According to Harvard University, all the teaching starting this fall will be distance teaching, but the tuition fee of 50,000 US dollars or about 350,000 RMB per academic year will not be reduced. There is really little homework, and this practice is indeed somewhat unsatisfactory, because Princeton University, which is almost as famous as Harvard, offers international students a discount of 10% under the same circumstances.

The person in charge of Harvard University said that all courses, including this number, will be conducted remotely, but they will still require the first-year students to live in the dormitory of the school, but they still don't have to go to the classroom and still adopt online teaching. Therefore, in the coming autumn semester of Harvard University, 40% undergraduates will come to study, including freshmen, and some students who are not good at studying because of the current environment will come to study.

It stands to reason that international students, like other students, can only teach online no matter where they live. When the news was released, it happened to meet the new regulations issued by the US Immigration Bureau, which stipulated that all international students studying for degrees in the United States would leave the United States if their schools indicated that they would only teach online, otherwise they would face the consequences of expulsion.

However, this rule is not for all international students, but for those who hold non-immigrant visas f 1 and m 1. The US Immigration Service also indicated that the State Council will not provide relevant visas for these students who take online courses. Therefore, if those international students want to stay in the United States to continue their studies, they should consider whether to transfer to a school that implements entity teaching.

In the United States, where the epidemic is so serious, this move may also be helpless. After all, even if Trump gave in and put on a mask, many entertainment venues in the United States were still closed, so online teaching was helpless.
