[quote=Anonymous]Thing is though, with exceptions of some schools and countries, the public uni options in Europe are inferior to the US colleges in terms of student life/personal attention/career assistance.

In mainland Europe, especially Germany, France, and the like, the big public unis tend to be very big, more like a job, large classes, few resources, probably no dorms or centralised student life. The elites in these countries often, but not always, will send their kids to the US, UK, or elite European private unis. Or they'll have some sort of elite club or residential college, private from the university, for the kid to join—like in Germany, or like with the "colegio mayores" in Spain.

Do your research with each school and obviously there are exceptions:

- The UK as a whole, St Andrews, Oxbridge, the London unis, etc
- Ireland, though Trinity is probably the only university worth going to here as an international.
- More elite private unis—like Bocconi in Milan or IE in Spain. International unis and still cheaper than US schools. But vet other private unis carefully, there are many that aren't great. 
- You could look for schools with more experience catering to international students, like Sciences Po, University of Maastricht in the Netherlands.
- You could look at Central European University in Vienna, though the undergrad programs are rather new.[/quote]
