But yeah, my beefs with international students really aren't against them, but against the fact colleges are willing to accept fucktons of students who will need more work than those natively born here to get up to the standard, especially in a speaking-and-writing area like journalism, without taking into account how that might make teaching harder for professors and learning harder for other students.
There were a lot of skills I was hoping to improve on, or learn from some of the experts that were teaching us, that I wasn't able to because 3/4 of my section were catching up on high school level english literacy, and that was obviously more important, and I say that seriously and legitimately thinking that myself.

I don't have beef with the students, but with the college for being more concerned with getting money from international students than with actual classroom functionality
