A: Hey there! Did you hear about something interesting?
B: No, what's up?

A: Well, it seems that many universities in Japan are thinking about helping students who can't study in the US anymore!
B: Really? Why is that?

A: Apparently, the US administration under Trump made a decision to bar some universities, like Harvard, from enrolling international students. So, these students are looking for other places to continue their education.
B: Oh, wow. That's quite a situation!

A: Exactly! The Japanese education minister asked universities to think about support measures for these students, and some of them have responded positively already. In fact, around 90 universities are considering this step.
B: That's fantastic! Are they offering housing too?

A: Yeah, some of them might do that! The education minister said they are working on uploading these responses to a website for students to check out.

Japan's education minister says about 90 universities in the country are considering accepting or supporting international students who may no longer be able to study in the United States.



The Japanese education ministry had asked the nation's universities to consider support measures for such students with either Japanese or non-Japanese citizenship.



The move came after the US administration under President Donald Trump announced it is barring Harvard University from enrolling international students.



Education Minister Abe Toshiko said on Friday that by Thursday, her ministry had received positive responses from about 90 universities. Some of them are reportedly considering offering accommodation to students.



Abe said the ministry is working to upload the responses to the request on the website of the Japan Student Services Organization, which is an independent administrative agency.
