foreign student
Overseas enrolled learner
A foreign student is someone studying at an educational institution outside their home country.
The term is straightforward but has largely given way to "international student" in official contexts, which sounds more welcoming and less othering: The university enrolls thousands of international students.
Foreign student remains common in casual speech and older documents.
