[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hoping to get some advice for my niece. She wants to go abroad for her college experience and is looking at Canada and Europe. She is a high stats applicant (maybe T-20 caliber) and applying in the fall. Any suggestions? So far she has looked at UofT, McGill, Oxford/Cambridge, and St. Andrew's.[/quote]

KU Leuven: https://www.kuleuven.be/english/kuleuven/

Note that:

- The UK schools are somewhat more like U.S. schools in terms of student housing than the EU schools are. The UK schools charge more but probably are worth the extra money, if you have a choice.

- The ideal for kids going to non-U.S. bachelor’s programs is to aim for schools one or two tiers down from where they’d go in the U.S. Even if a kid is a terrific student, getting used to another country’s educational system is like taking two extra classes.

- Assume that the administration of a non-U.S. school will be disorganized, if not actively hostile. Kids who want to attend college overseas should prepare by going to routine dental and medical appointments alone.

- Before considering this option, make sure the student is sober, energetic, organized and depression-resistant. This may be a great option for high-stats, asocial kids with weak activities. It’s a terrible option for kids who will go out clubbing.
