The only reason you don't like your kid going to school with Asians is because you know they can't compete. Coming from a non-Asian who [b]wants my kids to be pushed by a motivated, bright peer group. Who wouldn't want this? It beats sitting on the couch watching football or basketball with the bros.[/b][/quote]
I think the issue is believing this is a dichotomy at all. If all you do is study, meet very few people, and just think about academics through college, you're going to be extremely unfulfilled when you realize a very important part of college is the network around you and being active in trying new things/scenes while you can. If your sole purpose is to go to graduate school and be a researcher, sure hunker down and isolate yourself from everyone (good luck in grad school, where who you know has a massive effect on outcomes). College isn't designed to be 24/7 studying and nothing else; making relationships, trying new things, and yes "hanging out" are all important parts of college. Every top student spends a lot of time doing not much at all.
