[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my circle, most of the students have at least one parent born outside the United States. Many are going to universities in the non-US-born parents’ countries.

They’re all still in school; I don’t know what will happen if and when they come back to the United States.

The students seem to be having fun and doing well. The EU students in the programs are able to take college courses in a second language, which is amazing, but, on average, they aren’t better prepared in other ways than the U.S. students are.

I think any students who take this route and don’t have strong ties to the university country should take charge of most of the process. If they’re not the ones dealing with the application red tape, that might be a sign they’d have a hard time dealing with cell phone and bank account red tape overseas.

But, otherwise, this is a little like sending a DMV kid to UCLA. [/quote]

Interesting. In my circle is the total opposite. None of the students have a parent born outside the US. [/quote]
