I agree with you, 33girl. The students gave their opinions; the writer reported them.
If this article had been about my alma mater, and students there had insulted the education it offers, I'd be disappointed to learn that some students there don't appreciate and love it the way I did. But you can't make everyone feel the same way. If he thinks the education he had in Russia was academically stronger than the one at Alcorn, well, who's to say that he should keep that opinion to himself? He's the one that actually attended both schools. Maybe he was going to the M.I.T. of Russia. Who knows?
I actually came away from the article with a positive view of Alcorn. I knew virtually nothing about it, and the article left me with the impression that it has a very tight-knit and open-minded student body and strong tradition. If I am at all typical of Northerners reading this article, I imagine that it's going to help Alcorn's image, not hurt it.
