It’s not just “prestige”  schools, a few years ago I lived in an apartment complex near an east bay community college and the majority of residents were non citizen Asian students. I don’t necessary have a problem with that, America is for everyone. What was amazing to me was all the expensive, new cars in the parking lot of these crappy apartments. My old truck would be parked by BMW’s, Mercedes, a Hummer that barely fit in the space etc, all being driven by students that could’ve easily walked to the school. It was affordable when I moved in but after a few years the rent got ridiculous because none of these kids were paying their own bills.
