I happen to agree re. UCLA not neccesarily being world class. Maybe in the minds of people from the US it is but not in the minds of the rest of the world. (But isn't that is typical of US' opinions)..
The overseas students at UCLA
ride to the top of the class because the competition is so weak, (just ask them). A kid out of High School here entering UCLA wouldn't have a chance of getting into any of the leading European Universities. Our High Schools and Bachelor level students are so far behind the rest of the industialized world, (even Mexico dare I say), that is why we're all still in school till our late 20s. Sorry that's a fact.
