Some of those students come from countries with poorer educational systems, although I doubt you'll find thousands coming from Germany to pay through the nose for an undergraduate education.
My school (University of Edinburgh) had well over a thousand US students alone, and enough students from asia and the middleeast that scots were among the minority in plenty classes.
Would i have preferred a CS degree from MIT - almost certainly - but when i could go to a school that's consistently in the top 20 worldwide, without paying fees, why would I?
