[quote=Anonymous][quote]PP - so what you are saying is you found it tough at the foreign school because you couldn't make the grades and liked the fun, easy going, teachers follow up to make sure you have your assignments ready US school you attended. 
The only reason foreign profs would love to teach at US schools is because of the rediculous pay raise they would receive and that's because of the ridiculous prices students have to pay to attend. 
U.S. schools are not superior to foreign schools, that statement is ridiculous. 
Look overseas for a great education and one that is wayyyyy cheaper.[/quote]
Actually, all of the Americans I knew who were studying at this particular foreign school did very well, and I skipped half of one of my classes, reviewed material for the test, and walked away with the highest possible grade.  So, nice try.  At least with my school, the point was that you're entirely graded on a test.  So, if you test well, you do well, end of story.

And, yeah, US professors are SO overpaid. Please. Look up the starting salary for your average AP at an average to good college.  My DH teaches at a place many DCUMers would sell a limb to get their kid into and his starting salary (pre-tenure) is 75K.  It isn't nothing, but it's far from "rediculous," your spelling.

I'm sure there are LOTS of good places to go to college overseas. And, I think that there may be some students who would be well-suited for such schools. But, it isn't the case that your "average" experience in the US with a 4-year college degree program will be the same as your "average" experience abroad -- the US experience will give you a better education.[/quote]
