Naturally, for a small regional institution like ours, 500 international students is quite a sizable population. The university has put measures in place to support them. We rely heavily on the regional community, which does a good job of meeting the demand for help thanks to the university foundation. The federal government could lend a hand by transferring funding to community organizations in the region, which are there to support the students. That might be a good solution.
