[quote=no_such_reality]I’m perfectly fine with foreign students taking spots, especially if they’re paying true cost.
For a CA resident, UCLA tuition & fees is only $13K. Books add another $1500. The rest of expense is just living in LA.
Out of Staters pay another $26K.
To me, its much like the buy your citizenship immigration. AKA EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. Just another pay to play program.
But if we want to reap, then reap, lets really go get the best and brightest of the world and keep them here when they graduate.[/quote]No one has any control over what a (foreign student) recent UC graduate chooses to do with their “prestigious” UC bachelor degree. They could take it back to work in the Middle East, where a portion of them are from. That’s what foreign graduates of US universities did back in “my day.” :=0
And you must be aware, NSR, that it’s not cheap to live around UCLA … not even in the “marginal” areas. The rent around there is a lot higher than SD (ex: urban communities such as Hillcrest and UTC).
