I went to RPI, where it was mostly foreign students. The reason is that they WANT to be there, to get an education - to get an engineering degree from a top school. American kids, don't have the same commitment. Most of us were busy getting drunk or trying to get laid. Thats the difference.
Nothing really political about that, hard to blame that on one particular administration or use the term "outsourcing".
My borther was there in 2001. He said that shortly after 9/11 quite a few of the middle eastern students just disappeared.
