[quote=Anonymous]One of our friends' daughter went to the University of Edinburgh, loved it there, the cost was cheaper. Studied business, had hard time finding job in US. Spent almost a year living with the relative in NYC doing unpaid internship until she landed some job.

Another friend's daughter went to University of London. Was regretting after the first year. She saw on the social media how much fun her US friends are having in college. European colleges focuses purely on study, no sports, no after school activities. She wanted to come back in the middle of the second year, found out that she cannot get credits for her courses and chose to stay. Even thought the cost of tuition was cheaper in England, overall the cost of the education was higher. Housing and food was very expensive. Some issues with medical care where they have to fly her to US. ALso, there were few emergencies when parents had to fly to London couple times.

My senior HS kid was seriously considering to go to Europe, but then decided to apply in US. [/quote]
