Yet the way in which American colleges have globalized comes with costs, too. For one thing, the rise in foreign students has complicated the colleges' stated efforts to make their classes more economically diverse. Foreign students often receive scant financial aid and tend to be from well-off families. For another thing, the country's most selective colleges have effectively shrunk as far as American students are concerned, during the same span that many students and their parents are spending more time obsessing over getting into one.

然而，美国院校全球化的方式也伴有一定的成本。首先，留学生的增多让院校针对学生经济背景多元化的公开举措变得更麻烦。留学生得到的经济援助甚少，他们往往来自富裕家庭。其次，就美国学生而言，本国最出色的院校基本上缩减了规模，于是在这段时间里，许多学生和家长都在耗费更多的时间，冥思苦想着如何进入一所出色的院校。

Many numbers for individual colleges here come from Noodle, a company that provides advice on education decisions. I combined the numbers with census data on the number of 18- to 21-year-olds in the United States to examine what share of college-age Americans in four different years — 1984, 1994, 2004 and 2017 — were attending various elite colleges.

本文中和单个院校相关的大量数据，均来自Noodle公司，这是一家提供教育决策咨询的公司。我把这些数字和美国人口普查中18到21岁的人口数据联系起来，查看了在1984、1994、2004和2017年这四个不同的年份，该年龄段的美国学生加入本国多所一流院校的比例。
