Kenya now ranks third among sub-Saharan countries in the number of students attending US colleges or universities. Last year's 0.9 per cent drop in new enrolments of international students continued since the start of the Trump administration in 2017. The increase outpaced the overall rise of .05 per cent in the number of international students counted in the US during the 2018-19 academic year. But the current total of nearly 3,500 Kenyans studying in the US is only about half of what it was in 2005.
