“It does appear that we would be on deck to welcome the most diverse first-year class that we’ve ever enrolled, but it’s hard to make that prediction six months out,” said Shawn Abbott, vice provost at Temple University.
Temple University received 2,740 applications from international students as of March 14, a 36% increase over last year.
“We have more than 1,100 students registered for our first in-person Accepted Student Day in two years,” said West Chester spokesperson Nancy Santos Gainer. “This is a 12% increase over 2019 registrants. In addition, our in-person tours are completely full and we have even had to add more tours.” “Part of it I think is due to the pandemic, improving conditions,” said Sarah Ilchman, co-president of the institute. “Over the last 103 years that [Institute of International Education] has been around, we have been through 12 pandemics, and after each pandemic there has been a surge or an increase in international education. People want to get back.”
Temple also has seen an increase in students who want to go abroad and study at its campus in Rome, Abbott said. The university last year had 175 applications for that campus. This year, there are 421.
