It did hit me as sad that there are so few engineering graduate students who are US, when I saw some stats.

<p>Well, engineering jobs in the US pay a lot more than PhD student stipends. That probably has something to do with it, especially if the American engineering BS students are graduating with student loans that they need to pay off.</p>

<p>On the other hand, entering a PhD program is a way for an international student to attend a US university on a full ride, unlike the case of international students doing undergraduate work in the US where they typically have to pay list price.</p>

At my son’s high school, phones have to be turned off. Not on vibrate, but off. Too bad if you want to use it to keep track of time or whatever. Not allowed and that is a rule made right up front.
