One of my DC's went overseas for college. It was a fantastic experience and the whole degree cost less than $60K (including living expenses) from a very prestigious school.

The added benefit for Europe is that, having made the investment in US kid's college educations, many of them will actually stay in Europe and pay taxes there.

A loss for the US in many senses.

Maybe, maybe not. [b]Many Europeans leave their societies to get high-income jobs in the U.S. at the first chance they get.[/b] I highly doubt the American kids they are essentially giving free tertiary educations (especially in places like Germany and Hungary) are sticking around to build low-paying careers in foreign environments to boot. These universities mostly teach in English as well. That is very different from the European place environment.[/quote]

Not true. I know several who have not returned to the US. One got an engineering degree and married a German (and he has learned German and loves it there). He has a very good job (not low-paying). He had a scholarship to university there as well and paid virtually nothing. [/quote]
