[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Chicago and also Oxford.  My DC just spent a year there and it was a truly unique intellectual experience all around - nothing like it in the states.[/quote]

Get ready for more statements like this: that Oxford or other foreign universities are better than the US.

Republicans aim to destroy our university system, the best in the world and the driver of the US tech economy.  And it’s working.[/quote]

For undergrads, top foreign schools are certainly more intellectually demanding than US ones.

And the reason is that SJWs have taken over here with their bias, ignorance and bullying, which often prevents actual learning and growth.

I'd never in a million years send my kids to Oberlin or Midd.[/quote]

OP’s question is intellectually challenging colleges, not whether you would send your kids there, whether your kids have the chops to get in there, whether you can afford the tuition there, whether your kids would “fit” in there...[/quote]

Look up the recent trial against Oberlin.

Do you see much intellectual rigor among Oberlin administrators and faculty?

I see a bunch of bullies who have forgotten what intellectual rigor means.[/quote]

If you are talking scandals, you there are other threads - u of md death scandal, Duke lacrosse scandal, Yale, Stanford admissions scandal...  The list goes on and on...  there’s a thread on McKenna, Midd, High Point... [/quote]

Yawn. I remember you. The other scandals have nothing in common with the Oberlin scandal, which was a result of a closed mind, prejudiced pool of angry students with a cause whose actions were sanctioned by the college and a byproduct of the cult of victimization at all cost even at the cost of ignoring all evidence to the contrary. The Oberlin scandal was the consequence of an ideological outlook consumed by angry passions that didn't care about truth or facts, and the failure of a college to teach its students to be reasoned, intelligent human beings. That is the crisis in American higher education. Not the handful of coaches selling influence without the college's knowledge. [/quote]
