Why study abroad no-shows are unique
Students ghost because three people decide: student, parent, and friends. If the parent isn't bought in 24 hours before the call, the student finds an excuse.
This cadence pulls the parent into the loop early — and that single change accounts for the bulk of the no-show drop.
