Why Is US Grad School Mainly Non-US Students?

Posted by kdawson on from the damn-it-jim-i'm-a-doctor-not-an-engineer dept.

I am a new graduate student in Computer Engineering. I would like to get my MS and possibly my Ph.D. I have learned that 90% of my department is from India and many others are from China. All the students come here to study and there are only 7 US citizens in the engineering program this year. Why is that? I have heard that many of the smarter Americans go into medicine or the law and that is why there are so few Americans in engineering. Is this true?

    No, the problem is that the wast majority of Americans are dumb religious morons who think creationism is a great way to explain how the universe and eventually humans came to be. And then goes on to claim that almost everything can be explained by reading a 2000+ year old goat herder and camel driver scifi book.

    only a MORON would pay $1000 a year for a 200K home. you know the idiots that buy those creative loans. a TRADITIONAL loan thatyou do not get screwed on your $200,000 home will cost you about $2100.00 a month even at 7%

    only completely retarted morons pay less per month than that, oh wait those morons are screaming to the government to bail them out of their loans because they got themselves into more house than they can afford.

    I see where you are going.
