[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I really value my college memories. You do not get the US college experience overseas. It’s something I want my kids to be able to experience. [/quote]

The best of all worlds is college in the U.S. and study abroad for a semester or year.  [/quote]

I mean, it really isn’t. My daughter at Trinity is having a much better time than her friends who stayed in the US. Live music everywhere, big walkable international city with easy access to European cities, booming job market, great clubs and societies, you can go to pubs without worrying about fake ids, and above all a great education. It’s not for everyone, but the chauvinism of assuming that the US college experience is the best could not be more wrong-headed.[/quote]

My daughter just finished a fantastic semester abroad.  She absolutely loved it but was also thrilled to come back to her U.S. university.  I was glad she was able to have all of those experiences, both here [b]and[/b] overseas.  She said she considered it the "best of all worlds".  [/quote]

Correct. “She ” considered the best of both worlds. The best of it to her or you is different than me. Is it ok for people to have their own opinions here?[/quote]
