[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amazing. I feel like I’m taking to my 9 year old kid.

Anyhow, back to the topic at hand.

@ OP, to answer your question. If your kid attends any of the schools mentioned here (Top 15 UK unis or other top EU unis) you wont have any issues with graduate school placements back in the US or with careers prospects in here at any large firm. Yes there will be more work for your kid to do to get back here. If that is what he wants to do.

The point being, I wouldn’t rule it out due to graduate school admissions (unless it is Medicine) or career prospects.

And please, ignore the trolls.[/quote]

So you’re in a position to generalize about all of this how?   What’s your expertise derived from?[/quote]

Does having 3 kids who went to school in the UK (UCL and Edinburgh) and EU (Bocconi) and are all now back in the US working qualify? I have a 4th one applying this year.

Each one of my kids had dozens of American friends that also came back to the US after graduation. This was an over a 5 year period. So yes, that is pretty good evidence that I know what I am talking about. And quite frankly, you dont. Do you want their addresses too?

I'm grateful you posted on this thread. I'm also someone whose kids are (currently) at college in the Uk. Things change every year but the parochial minds of many DCUM posters just don't. Thank you for standing up to them. [/quote]
