US News Rankings 2011

<p>You guys know nothing about me or where I came from. World rankings, such as the ben hao chong guo ranking, is a joke. I stand by my comments. The only reason we want international students is because they pay full freight tuition. Nonetheless, those countries are now beginning to send more of their students to their own universities, none of which I can name, except perhaps Tokyo U, Cambridge, Oxford, and the Sorbonne.</p>

<p>But I never considered once applying to any of those foreign places; and who in their right mind would want to go to Havana Tech or Chairman Mao U when you can be thrown in prison for exercising your right to free speech? I wouldn’t last a day in China without my Google account being eavesdropped and personal freedoms raked by the communists. And Europe, please. All of us can attend Oxford tomorrow so long as we pay full tuition; the place is literally crumbling and covets Americans and their cash.</p>

<p>I’m glad my schools are establishing alumni networks in other countries to build networks and help raise money. But seriously, no American kid would go home to mommy and daddy and declare, “my school is number 5 on the world rankings; I want to go!” And the billions of oppressed in China surely don’t do the same.</p>
