OK, the implications in a previous post that UCSB student body is racist pissed me off, along with the notion that there are no Indians there. Totally ignoring the Americans of recent Indian extraction, India turns out to be the second biggest source of UCSB international students, after China: http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/campusprofile/cp2012.pdf



International Students
UCSB’s international students come from 76 different countries. The top ten originating countries are:

1. People’s Republic of China (48%) 6. Mexico (2%)

2. India (9%) 7. Iran (2%)

3. South Korea (6%) 8. Turkey (2%)

4. Taiwan (4%) 9. Japan (2%)

5. Canada (3%) 10. Germany (2%)



Although why on earth you would confine yourself to friends from any single country, I can’t imagine.

Separately, here is a ranking of CS programs by the author’s analysis of return on investment: http://www.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/computer-science-degrees-best-roi/
