Perhaps there are people here who have experienced this themselves? Also, the fact that it's being upvoted is evidence it's of interest to the community.
To play Devil's Advocate, there is no downvote option so it's hard to gauge just how much folks care about a given article.
If it isn't getting upvotes it will quickly fall off the front page. This whole thread is a bit silly.
Once your karma goes over about 1000 you get a downvote on articles (not certain about the threshold).
No, you don't. Articles can't be downvoted, only comments.
Weird I'm sure I've been able to downvote articles on an old profile.
Ok sure. But instead of that experience we just have a very generalized article with some wild statistic. 40% of foreign students have no close friends? Really?
It's a garbage article that somebody is posting for up votes.
Is there an alternative article you would recommend for this topic?
