While there is a considerable number of foreign students in Trier, a large majority of students hail from Rhineland-Palatinate and the adjacent German states of Saarland and Northrhine-Westphalia. This situation has been exacerbated by the introduction of tuition fees in all German states except Rhineland-Palatine, with the University of Trier having experienced an increase in the number of students from other German states -- especially the neighbouring states -- matriculating or transferring there. The SPD, which is currently the governing party in Rhineland-Palatinate, does not at present plan to introduce tuition fees.
