[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am absolutely all for gifted international students coming to the US for college. I think it’s a positive all around. And I get how some low endowment schools need the income of full pay international students to make things work.

But the NY Times had an article today listing the schools with the most international students. I think it’s nuts that more than 30 percent of students at Columbia, Chicago, CMU, Hopkins, and Northeastern are international. I get it for CalTech, but that’s such a specialized school. We definitely have a big enough talent pool of students - including full pay students - to fill those classes at those schools. So I’m perplexed why schools like Columbia and Northeastern are choosing to be so heavily international [/quote]

Let me introduce you to the concept known as "money".  Those schools have a heavy STEM presence.  China and India have an endless supply of students who could go toe to toe with top US students.  So it is an easy win, win, win for all.  The college gets whip-smart students, more money, and the student gets a chance to work in the US or bring that degree back home.

Amid all your celebrating over the win, win, win, you forgot to include the LOSE part. You know, the part where the foreign student takes his STEM knowledge back to his home country & it is used to kill Americans & their allies. But those are usually just military people, not important people like you. [/quote]
