[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Mambojambo2024][quote=Anonymous]I know two girls who went to the UK for school. Both schools are great but not Oxbridge. Both went to a t5 NOVA HS. One is living in the UK working for a university in some sort of administrative role (secretary or something). The other is living with her parents at home and does some work as an artist.

Generally, I feel like peers who went to selective US colleges (roughly t40 or 50 before US News methodology change) were better off compared to those who went abroad, (especially if they planned to return to the US) with few exceptions.[/quote]

This is interesting and odd. It takes a different kind of kid to forgo a US education to go to UK or Europe. If your kid is not an independent, motivated go getter, he/she just wont last in a UK/EU university environment that lacks the baby handholding we see in the US.

So it is hard to believe someone who had the drive, initiative and independence to go to school abroad, is now a “secretary”. [b]That tells me this kid, whether going to a t50 in the US or anywhere else in the world, would have probably end up under employed anyway. [/b]Though to assign the under employment of this kid (if that is indeed the case) to a decision to attend a UK school vs a t50 US school.[/quote]

DP. I wouldn’t necessarily assume that. A lot depends on the visa/immigration status of the kid, as well as their degree. Lots of American kids want to stay in Europe when their schooling is done and they will accept under employment if that’s the only path available.

I did grad school in the UK. I love the idea of going abroad for school but it comes with downsides. I definitely think there is a strong possibility your kid will want to stay when he’s done. He’s got an EU passport. His friends will all be there. He will be immersed in the culture and language(s). Coming back to the US is hard at that age.

It’s also tough when you lack career services for the US. He will need to navigate his way back on his own, versus the career services that a good US university could provide. That’s not an impossible thing but his connections will be in Europe. He may find it easier to stay there. A one year MSc in the UK may help but, even then, I would be looking at schools with strong name recognition in the US.[/quote]

^^^Oh and since you asked specifically, I’m not familiar with ESCP even though I know quite a few schools in Europe.[/quote]
