Cool, as long as they only vote once.
But if they get a mail-in vote from their home state, and one from their college, and they vote with both, who would ever know?

When did Biden hide documents from investigators after being subpoenaed to hand them over?
When was Biden documented sharing classified information with non-authorized individuals?

International students aren't registered voters and would not appear on voter rolls. How exactly do you think they would be allowed to vote?

That's exactly what they're pushing.
Many are international students.
Eight states—California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, and Washington—allow all elections to be conducted by mail.
Two states—Nebraska and North Dakota—permit counties to opt into conducting elections by mail.
Twenty-two states and Washington, D.C., have implemented same-day registration (SDR), which allows any qualified resident of the state to register to vote and cast a ballot at the same time. Of those states, 20 and Washington, D.C., offer Election Day registration, which means voters can both register and vote on Election Day and often during the early voting period. Montana and North Carolina make same-day registration possible for a portion of the early voting period, but not on Election Day (see the note below for more on Montana's law, which is currently the subject of a lawsuit).
First Time Voters Who Register by Mail
If you are registering to vote for the first time in
your jurisdiction and are mailing this registration
application, Federal law requires you to show proof
of identification the first time you vote. Proof of
identification includes:
• A current and valid photo identification or
• A current utility bill, bank statement, government
check, paycheck or government document that
shows your name and address.
Voters may be exempt from this requirement if they
submit a COPY of this identification with their mail in
voter registration form. If you wish to submit a COPY,
please keep the following in mind:
• Your state may have additional identification
requirements which may mandate you show
identification at the polling place even if you meet
the Federal proof of identification.
• Do not submit original documents with this
application, only COPIES.
Implementing Same-Day Resgistration
Same-Day Registration Requirements
Proof of residency is a key requirement in all states that offer same-day registration. In a traditional (pre-Election Day) registration, election officials have time to send a non-forwardable mailing to the prospective voter in order to verify the voter's residence before processing the registration application. Because that isn't possible with SDR, the prospective voter must present proof of residency at the time of registration or soon after registering. A current driver's license or ID card will suffice in all states. In some states, documents such as a paycheck or utility bill with an address are acceptable for proving residence. A few states also permit an already-registered voter to vouch for the residency of an Election Day registrant.
All of the SDR states also require that voters who register and vote on Election Day present documentation to verify their identity. Some states require a photo ID; others accept IDs without a photo.
Ensuring Security
All states employ various measures to ensure the security of same-day voter registration. Many of the processes listed below are used in conjunction with one another. Common security measures include:
Proof of identity and residency. All states require prospective voters to show ID. Some states will allow a provisional ballot to be cast if the prospective voter cannot provide identification at the time of registration, but ID must be provided before it is counted in the election.
Casting of provisional ballots. Several states will count a ballot as provisional until proper ID is supplied or until the voter’s application is fully checked.
State-wide voter systems. These are used to check if the voter has already voted and to check ID. Such systems can provide real-time checks, while others are utilized after registration and voting. E-poll books often accompany this type of security measure.
Oaths and sworn affidavits. Several states require same-day registrants to sign an affidavit or swear an oath that they are eligible to vote and have not already voted in the election.
Criminal penalties for fraudulent voting. Some states classify voting fraud as a felony, while others will refer suspected voting fraud to proper authorities to investigate.
In-person registration. States require the SDR voter to register and vote in person.
Non-forwardable mailings. If it is returned as non-deliverable or is not returned signed by the voter, a second notice is sent. The case may be forwarded to proper authorities for investigation after a second unsuccessful attempt to confirm the voter’s residency.
Restriction of location. Several states limit the locations where individuals can participate in SDR.
Cross-agency and interstate verification. Some states verify an applicant’s information with numerous other state agencies and even with interstate organizations.

I'm sure you have evidence of this occurring even once since you're so confident.

Are you going to share that "evidence" with the rest of the class?

That must be one in depth video of it shows the "international student's" ID, then them registering to vote, then them voting, and then days to weeks later showing the SoS website that confirms their vote was counted.
