Can't understand my professors

Taryn, why are 90% of my professors at wpi foreign? I can't understand them.


This has been in the news a lot lately. With the recent developments in illegal immigration debates we've heard a lot about foreigners working for less than Americans. The reason you can't understand your professors is that foreigners work for less than Americans. (Even the legal ones in this case.) Sometimes people think of schools like MIT (or even our very own WPI) and see how many foreigners there are and connect an accent with a high level of intelligence - really this isn't true. It's just that the colleges are cheap and want cheap labor. If you want a really good education you should probably try the schools with tons of professors who speak clear English. Definitely. Maybe I'll transfer out of WPI now.
