<p>I don’t have anything against U of MN at all. I was just speaking from my own experience. Most of my experience at U of MN was when I applied and made several visits back in 2002 and in my freshman/sophomore years when I still hung out with some of my high school friends who went there(I went to college through 2007). Even the article says, until 2006, you guys had the lowest percentage of internationals. It appears that the U there has been changing a lot (as is a national trend as universities are increasingly competing). If you just started pulling more internationals in in 2006, I wouldn’t have known. It is fairly disappointing to see that Minnesota is attempting the spam-mail route of advertisement popularized by Washington University in St. Louis, though, something Wisconsin has luckily never had to resort doing (not to stir the pot).</p>
<p>With that said, what both our universities are doing is probably damaging since clearly none of these people are going to stay in the US.</p>
