One more thing to consider is the language barrier that seems to be a popular issue in math and science classes with foreign professors. In high school, I had people telling me "yes, you will have foreign professors, you won't be able to understand them, and you will still be expected to pass the class." My engineering fundamentals professor speaks English very well, but he still has an accent and there is still a slight barrier to overcome in understanding him. My classes with American-born professors and TAs are significantly easier to pay attention in because I can understand them clearly. I was fortunate to only get one professor with an accent, but some of my friends absolutely cannot understand their lab assistants or calc professors and are incredibly frustrated by the classes. Many first-year engineering students take the same sets of classes, and they are almost all weeder classes. While other people have posted about how bad those are, not being able to understand the professor makes a class that much harder.
