On the other hand, I absolutely love that people in Korea think I am a demigod because I went to an Ivy League school. On one hand, this is terrible.

Is it better to graduate from a name-brand school with a useless degree or to graduate from a not-so-famous school with a useful degree ? Also, it's well-known (in the states, at least) there are plenty of not-so-famous schools that are on par or better than name-brand schools for many majors. Unfortunately, the pressure to succeed in education unfortunately means there are only a small number of "acceptable" schools - major or quality of education aside.

Not every kid can be doctors or lawyers, contrary to what many education-obsessed Korean parents seem to believe. It's just not how the natural law of distribution works. Many were meant to be blue-collar workers, menial laborers, lowly clerks, trash removers, or English teachers in Korea. it’s okay not to go to the best school, have the best job, etc. That’s life.

I think it would have been pretty difficult to sneak into meals, follow someone inside the residential hall all the time, sleep in the lounge half the time, be a room guest for months and months. I would have given up and went back home. Too much work. Then, again, I have a hard time with deceiving anyone in general. Cho and Kim are now inducted into the unofficial hall of young US Koreans gone mad. it's okay not to go to the best school, have the best job, etc. That's life. what a story.
