Global Insights: Student mobility in the US

July 31, 2025 • Acumen (Sannam S4 Group)

This podcast episode features a conversation with Carmen, an in-country representative for a UK university in the US. Carmen shares her experiences as a global citizen, having studied and worked abroad, and discusses the evolving landscape of US student mobility. She highlights the increasing interest among US students in pursuing full degrees overseas, driven by rising domestic tuition costs and a desire for global experiences. Carmen emphasizes the crucial role of in-country representatives in providing personalized support to US students and their families, addressing their unique concerns about academics, lifestyle, and career prospects after international study. The discussion also touches on the importance of strong relationships with US high school counselors and the growing interest in STEM fields among US students looking to specialize earlier.
