Nerd News: Top UK Students Choose Ivy League Over Oxbridge

I've told you before about this increasingly common phenomenon of top European (not only British) students -- and faculty too -- who are choosing to come to the U.S.

Interesting, interesting! It looks like people are -- what is that wonderful phrase? -- voting with their feet. All the Euro-twittering about the decline of the US doesn't seem so sincere when the brain drain is going straight to America, proud home of most of the top 10 universities in the world.
