Way to ask the tough questions! Hey, if I wanted to ask softball questions, I'd send them in to the local press, or better yet, the government. There's nothing quite like getting an answer from people on the ground.
I didn't realize just how small CMU was. This helps explain why the list of students on the Dean's List was so small.
My perception is that there's a significant gap between Arab and non-Arab (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) students. Of course that would be the case on any college campus. There? Maybe. This certainly was the case in the UAE. As a foreign student in the US, however, I certainly don't feel like an outsider by virtue of my nationality; Americans are as happy to mix with me as with anyone else.
What do you mean by "intellectual exchanges"? Bit of an open-ended question, that one. Visiting speakers who stimulate discussion, debates held on campus, people getting together for pizza every week while talking about the state of the world, anything, really.
I also forgot to ask you about the consequences for students of being in a newly established institution, one which would presumably have teething troubles, and be bereft of traditions.
