Who hates McRobbie!!!!!!!

Higher tuition plus a more well rounded diverse student population. Foreign students add incredible diversity from a cultural enrichment standpoint.

Kelley and Jacobs have always attracted top out of state students as well. Many from the north shore of Chicago, NY, Conn, etc with the means to due so take advantage of the quality programs and outstanding student life in Btown. Entrance requirements have beefed up quite a bit at both IU and PU (they are equally stringent with slightly different emphasis) and that is a positive.


I'm very familiar with the situation of Chinese students at Purdue.

While everyone gets along ok, there isn't much social interaction among the Chinese students and the rest of the student population....the language and cultural barriers are pretty high. The Chinese students, in large part, stick to themselves.

I interacted with a lot of kids from Chicago and the east coast in law school.....I'll grant you that they brought a different perspective.

There are a lot of Chinese students in Btown as well as middle eastern, etc. Agreed there is less interaction but the fact that they are there living side by side helps enrich the lives of all students.

It's the east coast kids I can't stand....jk of course.
 
Crimson Quarry made mention that McRobbie has taken money from the Big Ten network to use for other projects besides building an exclusive Dorm for the basketball players and some new football practice facility, I don't know their sources just what they said over there.........if so that is total bulls--t.
You do realise that the Big Ten is also joined academically and is not just a sports conference.

Have never met the man so I don't know how I could hate him. I don't like the fact that he has brought ion more east coast students over bringing in more Indiana kids.

The "East coast students" earned their way in by being better applicants than the Indiana kids.

You live a sheltered life Scott. If you want IU - Bloomington to fall the way of some directional shit school, by all means let's insulate ourselves and cater to Indiana residents.

If you want it to be a world class university then stfu.

The undergrad population is still something like 70% Indiana and Chicago area kids, so leave your know nothing nonsense at the door.
I wonder what IU Scott would think about the Korean kids at IU who are driving $200,000+ Maserati’s and Porsche’s.
