I can see where the comment that "this is worse than the education" they get in Russia might be offensive, but try to remember that English is not their first language, and as with any language, things get lost in the interpretation. I took his comment to mean that academically, they would get a better education in Russia--quite possibly b/c it would be in their native tongue, or simply that the education would be more focused & single minded (like task based). Also--do they have sororities & football games w/crazed parties as a part of college life in Russia? I think it comes down to a comparison of the entire college experience-and would venture to guess that he was just talking strict academics.
I don't know...I just think they should be given the benefit of the doubt, and we shouldn't automatically assume that they meant to degrade the school.
