For my son, going to Buffalo or our state flagship would have simply been a lot more expensive than going to the EU university he went to.

But upstate New York and western New York are gorgeous. And, for a shy, bookish student who studies a lot and minimizes spending, student life in Buffalo might be a lot more luxurious than student life in London.

I think it’s important that students going to non-U.S. schools know that a school is a school, and student life in what sound like fancy cities can be as boring as student life in Omaha or a small town in North Dakota. Students have to be prepared to find ways to entertain and comfort themselves wherever they go.

No doubt. College can be a very challenging and lonely time. All the more so if you go abroad with unrealistic expectations of how easy it will be. That is why it isn’t for everyone. But for the right kids it can be an amazing experience.[/quote]
