Huge drop in foreign students on campus / Post-9/11 security discourages many from coming to U.S.

As the fall term begins at colleges and universities, fewer international students will be attending campuses in the Bay Area -- and around the nation. And some foreign students who were expected to start classes have been delayed.
All because of a new -- and stricter -- federal system for admitting foreign students adopted after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, college officials say.
