I went to the University of Illinois at Chicago for undergraduate CS, and very few of my classmates grew up in the US. I might be recalling this badly, but I&#x27;d say the number was on the order of 10-15%.<p>All of the native-born Americans seemed to be majoring in business and liberal arts. &#x2F;anecdote<p>We all thought of it as a typical working-class immigrant progression: the first generation goes to engineering school (while working full time), their kids become doctors and lawyers, and their kids become artists, poets, and slackers.
