I agree now, but that's far different from saying

Knowing that there are at least 25'000 universities in the world
(8,407 of them being in India... I was very surprised actually but you
can check at http://www.aneki.com/universities.html), you might say
that Caltech is probably in the 125 *hardest* university. But knowing
that the cubing community is a very specific portion of the overall
studying population, I can imagine that you are making a huge mistake
by saying "we have more homework than you"...

>From my personal experience, I can definitely say that
homeworks/courses at CMU (Carnegie Mellon University) in computer
science (CMU is ranked between 1st and 3rd rank for its undergrad CS
dept.) do NOT take more time than attending classes at my home university.

My point is that you shouldn't make assumptions not based on any
experienced situations.
