Thank you for sharing your experiences of studying in the UK @JoyceY73703729. We here at UKCISA know how much international students bring to the UK, we will continue to share the stories of all those who come to study here, and work with the new UK government to push for policies that create a welcoming environment for all.
theguardian.com/commentisfre… This is something I've always wanted to write about. International students are humans, not your cash cows ready to be milked. The conversation around us needs to be changed. @guardianopinion

Everyone deserves to feel safe. People of colour, Muslims, and our international community have a right to belong just like everybody else. We condemn all instances of racism, Islamophobia, and xenophobia witnessed in the last few days. There is no room for hate.
