Indian students in the US are leaving behind their campuses and dreams amid coronavirus

As coronavirus rips through the US, it may have ended the “American dream” for thousands of Indian students forever. Many Indian students, who spoke to Quartz, said they had missed their chance to return home before India sealed its borders, and had struggled to find affordable housing in the US. “As a college senior, the impact of the outbreak and the closing of the campus was especially heartbreaking due to the unprecedented cancellations of final classes, senior events and potentially graduation, as well as unsaid goodbyes,” a 22-year-old Indian-origin student at New York University, who left the epicentre of the Covid-19 outbreak in the US, to fly home to Singapore with no definitive return date, told Quartz.
