If the education is so shit, why are there so many foreign students studying here and paying insane amounts of money to do so. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cyberwolfie@lemmy.ml 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) I'd think enrollment rates would be a severe lagging indicator of education quality. Institutions could likely coast on reputation for quite some time after education quality tanks. Inertia is powerful, and some could even knowingly decide to go to poor educational institutions just for the status it still gives among peers and in their community. That said, I have no first hand experience with US higher education, and wouldn't know what the quality really is, just saying that enrollment rates probably aren't a great indicator of it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Hardeehar@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago True, I would argue though that after a certain amount of time, nobody even cares about the quality, it's the university name on the degree that is truly important. You can go anywhere on the planet even decades from now and say you're from Harvard (take your pick) and you'll be regarded as a knowledge god even if you were the last in the class to graduate. Educational quality isn't everything for getting into a good career, it's the reputation, and that is what schools in the US (and a few abroad) have in spades. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hardeehar@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Yup and paying insane amounts of money to get in, too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Bloomcole@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 child) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Hardeehar@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago* Apologies if English isn't your first language it's called reading between the lines.
