[QUOTE="Cam, post: 280497, member: 568"] What's wrong with opening up borders to the world? We want to attract the best minds from all over and they're definitely not all located in the Southern US. Some of my favorite experiences were spending time with my international friends. I learned a lot about the world when I was often one of the only US born students in a group. People from India, Korea, Chad, Saudi Arabia, etc. All really fun students who were open to learning American customs. I went mostly to parties hosted by my Indian friends because those were more fun than the ones I went to at frats. In the classroom, international students were always really bright and very hard working considering if they failed out, they couldn't just drive back home to Marietta and cry on mom's couch. They had to do well. I also think it's great we're raising the standard for entry. It's the only way to be competitive for those best minds, otherwise they're going to MIT, CalTech, Duke, etc. I see a lot of current high school students who still hold GT as a backup because our prestige isn't on that level. Yet. As for retention, I think the improvement in technology and on campus resources have allowed for GT to become easier to stay in. Being able to share various documents and textbooks and open chat rooms for study groups and questions has done a lot for making GT easier to stay in. But I wouldn't say the content is any easier. It's just easier to communicate those ideas. The only way it could return to the reputation it had when you thought it was cool is if they decided to remove all of the infrastructure they put in place to help students. [/QUOTE]
