Letters to the Editor: Universities see international students just as cash cows

UCC fell nine places to 534th in the rankings.

I came across a recent article stating that Irish universities have fallen in global rankings (irishexaminer.com, May 15). The article claims that the increase in research and funding in other universities has made it harder for them to compete. However, as a master’s student, this looks very different from the inside.

I believe that the quality of research and funding is only as good as the best students. In that regard, I must say that your colleges have some of the brightest minds I have ever encountered.
