It's difficult, if not impossible, to fly to basically any country from the US.

The EU is currently debating exemptions for spouses who have been separated, so I doubt they have exemptions for students.

And even if the exemptions and all are sorted out, who thinks it's a great idea for a whole bunch of students to have to fly in what will now potentially be crowded planes, and then have to spend at least a couple of weeks in quarantine, for something that was not a choice of theirs at all.

Also, as if the rental/retail market wasn't bad enough, especially in college towns many of which are single industry towns, this is gonna add to even more completely unnecessary and avoidable hardship.

This is disastrous policy in every form, other than if youre someone who gets off on unnecessary cruelty.

In this case, the students would be returning home, and therefore be citizens of the country they are flying to. Generally speaking (including the EU, which you mentioned), citizens are exempt from the travel bans. Even during the quarantine, there were once-a-week flights to China from the US (https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/16/business/us-china-flights-int...)

Not saying that these changes aren't horrible, they are, but I don't think getting home is impossible. Very difficult, in most cases yes.

I haven’t heard of any country turning down their own nationals returning home.

China effectively is by limiting flights.

Presumably, most students kicked out of the US would fly to their home countries where their status isn't "student".

Most of Trump's voter base, sadly. Less immigrants in the U.S. is the only metric they care about.
