These kids who come to do masters essentially live in "Indian" or "Chinese" enclaves. Not sure how much american culture they absorb. I've also seen many cases of rampant cheating on homework and exams. I'm not sure how qualified many of these so called "Masters" students are. My cousin who went to Columbia for masters also complained about this in most of his classes (If this is done at the highest level of education, i could only guess what happens at mid tier or lower tier universities).
