RE: Imagine 15,000 rich little lily white and Asian students surrounded by about 30 square miles of ghetto.


Hmmmm... that could describe a lot of universities in the USA.

Try going to Yale University in New Haven or the University of Chicago in the south side of Chicago.

It would be as if somebody planted an oasis in the middle of a decaying wasteland.

I was at Chicago for one year in 1973. It was as bad as you suggest - except it was worse. Seriously.

I went, um, attended an event at Yale about 20 years ago. I was
shocked at how poorly the old buildings were maintained.

At MIT, they deliberately go for the decrepit look. At least until the
building starts to leak.
