CPT pause- advice for internationals
As a senior , I’m sorry to hear that CPT is paused. As a fellow international myself , I can know how it feels. I just had some advice which I thought of sharing
If you are considering the US, don’t. Paying so much for a degree when you can’t make the most of it when applying what you learnt,to industry is not worth
If you are a freshman and haven’t paid your fees, withdraw asap or make sure to leave after your freshman, your credits don’t transfer to other countries after your sophomore year. Google it if you like.
If you are a sophomore, try to withdraw and transfer , mostly ur credits as a freshman will be considered by other universities around the world
If you are a junior or senior, considering using OPT ( a few months of it) to get at least 1 experience before you leave.
It’s just my opinion though. I don’t think it’s worth spending so much money somewhere where you can’t even make the most of your degree. It feels super unfair. Hopefully a solution is found over the next few months
