That's exactly what I said. But good school doesn't guarentee ethics. Qinghua in China is also one of the best, but some of their views are also questionable at best.
I have been in Canada long enough to know that with some cash I can do, not everything I could in China, but it's pretty damn close. It's why to this date I have no speeding tickets, though I have been given quite a few. Also never waited in line in the hospital.
As a Ph.D doctoral student in Industrial & Organizational Psychology and as a Full Time Instructor at the Department of Psychology for a major University in New Jersey, I will convey with you, and in confidence, that the universities in the United States implement what is called an Honor System, which holds all students, researchers and faculty/ staff to academic integrity. This means, any issue of plagiarism and unethical citizenship can lead to a case within the Academic Board, and render judgment of dismissal for students, or even loss of tenure-ship amongst faculty and staff.
For example, this upcoming semester I'm teaching 3 courses : all management and introductory psychology courses, I will be introducing students to literature review and with this, is an introduction to a new program called TURNITIN, which checks proper citation. Plagiarism and unethical workmanship is something that US universities take seriously, and it is something that most foreign universities are also taking into consideration.
I have collaborated with some Ph.D candidates from New York University before; they are very astute in their research and ethical considerations.
Best,
