[quote=Anonymous]Having studied both in the US and overseas extensively, I would not generalize.  I would agree that the elite SLACs offer an experience unlikely to be matched other than by very few and far between European universities.  On the other hand, most in the US are not attending elite SLACs.  And if you would compare average state flagship university (general pop, not honors college) to a German university?  Education might well be superior in Germany.  And once you start talking about not the flagship state university but those lower down the chain (again, gen pop, not honors) - I think many European universities will outshine.

It requires intense research into options - universities/colleges in Europe have changed quite a bit over the last couple of decades.  And depends on what your kid wants to study.  For instance, I would think that a college/medical school education in Germany at very low/reasonable cost followed by a US residency/fellowship would be an unbeatable combination.[/quote]
