CARACAS, Venezuela — Few places in Venezuela have a higher concentration of backers for opposition leader Juan Guaidó than the campus of the Central University of Venezuela, a hotbed of anti-government sentiment at the heart of the crisis-torn nation's capital, Caracas. Students say their expectations have soared in recent days since U.S. President Donald Trump showered Guaidó with attention on a stop in Washington. Still, they're left with questions about what comes next for the challenger following a tour of nations that back his effort to oust socialist leader Nicolás Maduro. “This country needs more than tours,” said medical student Edgar Julio, 25, seated at an open-air cafeteria talking with classmates. We need answers.”On campus, students complain of a shortage of teachers due to mass emigration, and classrooms at the sprawling campus often lack electricity and running water, reflecting deterioration across the nation.
