In the UK at least the "world class" universities do nothing for the native population and very little for the country in general.
Their primary reason for existence now is for rich foreigners (mainly from China and the middle east) to give their kids a status symbol education, this includes not failing bad students because the fees are so high.
The only people to benefit from this is are the University leadership and the property developers that build luxury accommodation for all the rich students.
I'm not sure if it is that bad in Switzerland. If they properly fund higher education for native citizens maybe not.
