Canadian Harvard students prepare for travel to US for school year

Canadian students attending Harvard University are relieved to be preparing for a journey south of the border to Cambridge, Massachusetts after a summer of uncertainty. “There was just a sense of fear of not being able to go back, and I think that was overwhelming for me and a lot of my other Canadian friends and international students,” said Thomas Mete, who was one of over 700 Canadians enrolled at Harvard last year. “[Politics] was never something I thought of when I applied to college.” The Toronto Star notes that Harvard announced several contingency plans over the summer in case international students were not permitted into the country, including a partnership with the University of Toronto.
