Trump's travel ban separated a Myanmar student from his Michigan campus

A travel ban that included Myanmar left University of Michigan student Patrick Thaw unable to return to campus after a summer internship in Singapore; he has since applied to universities in Australia and Canada while his U.S. options remain uncertain.

Patrick Thaw left Myanmar to study at the University of Michigan and spent a summer internship in Singapore. After the U.S. travel ban that included Myanmar was announced, he was unable to return to the United States and remained in Singapore. He has since applied to schools outside the U.S. and received offers from institutions in Australia and Canada. Key points: - Patrick Thaw was a Michigan student who traveled to Singapore for a summer internship and could not re-enter the U.S. after the travel ban included Myanmar. - He spent months in Singapore after his internship and described feeling stuck away from his Ann Arbor life and friendships. - Thaw applied to other universities and received acceptances in Australia and Canada and is hoping for the University of Toronto. - The travel restrictions were reported as part of broader policies that affected students from several countries and created challenges for international enrollment and university planning. Summary: The travel ban removed Thaw's immediate ability to return to his U.S. campus and prompted him to pursue study options abroad. Undetermined at this time.
