Trump is doubling down on his demand for a list of names of international students enrolled at Harvard amid his administration's standoff with the university.

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is approximately 11,923 kilometers away from Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, according to a signpost on campus that points to cities around the world. Shrestha, a rising senior, feels that distance acutely every day.

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Harvard University should have a 15% cap on the number of foreign students it admits and that the Ivy League school needs to show the administration their current list of students from other countries.

On the same day the Trump administration asked federal agencies to cut contracts with Harvard University, dozens of students gathered for a rally in support of their international classmates.

The Trump administration is planning to expand social media screenings for international students applying for visas.
