We’re a big country, have many sorts of people. There will be always some who make noise, but this is far from representative of everyone’s attitudes. It’s far too early to inflate some incidents into predictions of an unpleasant experience. There are so many of us who welcome diversity. And this week, many campuses are already emphasizing dialogue and respect among students.

I’d also caution against some of the “spin” about this. At this point, you may hear stories- and these may be blown up, written to alarm, and then re-reported over and over.

And I’d definitely say don’t assume apps will drop to a point where there’s a dearth of intl kids applying and chances will improve for less qualified applicants.
