Paul White¡¯s suggestion that we ban country-specific student societies to ensure that foreign students integrate (¡°Ban country clubs so foreign students mix¡±, 4 April) is a radical idea but futile. When I was senior warden in the accommodation services at the University of Edinburgh, we tried all manner of ¡°social engineering¡± - by nationality, subject, gender and even type of secondary education. Nothing worked.
