The last time I drove through Princeton, many years ago, there seemed to be more foreign students than American ones. The tuition is insane, but there is more aid for the foreigners. Einstein’s brain was kept in a jar in a basement there, was forgotten for years. Kind of shows how they view respect.
Do minorities and foreigners even pay one penny for tuition, fees and room and board????
WHY are we paying for foreigners when we need Americans to get degrees in much needed careers????
The reason you see so many foreigners now is two fold. 1) in undergrad situations they are here solely to get an education that will help them scam out an H1-B visa, then green card, then citizenship, so they pay more willingly and the university obliges, 2) for the grad students there are here for industrial and scientific data collection and high tuitions are paid by their state countries (one is China).
I used to work research projects with university professors and we had a strict no non-citizens on the projects. Most of the professors blithely violated this rule (based on ITARS and EAR federal regulations and it was very hard policing it because I had to examine student time sheets. I used to joke that what was learned there in the daytime ended up in Beijing by nightfall.
