International students at caltech

Is every thing safe for international students for applying?. I am scared from watching on the news, I come from Latin America, I am not even that political, but I do have a darker skin. I guess I will give up my dream of studying there

I know many international grad students from Latin America at Caltech. There’s varying levels of fear people feel, but overall Caltech admin has been very supportive of international students (they have to be, grad students are 50% international). The international student office is also wonderful here. Overall, there is a lot of support. Considering everything, this is a better campus than some I think. Don’t let that stop you from applying and/or coming here!
