Comments on: Which is the “Best” College for Asian Americans? http://www.8asians.com/2009/08/11/which-is-the-best-college-for-asian-americans/ A blog for Asian Americans Mon, 13 Feb 2012 22:56:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Boogerhead http://www.8asians.com/2009/08/11/which-is-the-best-college-for-asian-americans/comment-page-1/#comment-150288 Boogerhead Wed, 27 Apr 2011 20:19:56 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/?p=3562#comment-150288 I would never want my kid to go to a Cali school with a large number of Asians because that is just unreal and too hippy. Plus, when Chinese people are in the same major and include each other in every thing, they know everyone else's progress and family details but they're not really true friends based on chemistry - they just have access to open pharmacies or dental offices together.<br/><br/> <br/><br/> Let's be honest. The best school for your kid is the best school for everyone which is probably Harvard (even though I would like Wesleyan.)<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Isn't college supposed to hone your child like a weapon? So the school's ability to do that is what is important and a child mature enough to understand what they are really doing in college would appreciate that school. They can just go to the Asian American Film Festival in NYC for the summer and sit through countless hours of Angel Island, the only Chinese/Korean in my hometwon, Japanese Internment, Lise Yasui, Gregg Araki, Wayne Wang, yada yada, and I promise you, they will be so full, they will never even consider purchasing a Lisa See novel let alone spending college credits on an Asian American studies class.
