Help my daughter build her list. She's a 10th grader with a solid 4.1 weighted and AP/Honors classes. Wants to attend for Political Science but her dream career changes regularly. She wants to attend school in Germany or the UK.[/quote]

I’d prefer the English-language European studies program at Leuven over a Dutch university, because the Belgian housing market works better:

If you have friends or relatives who can help with housing in the Netherlands, consider the “university college” (U.S. style liberal arts programs) at places like the University of Amsterdam or Leiden University.

I think EU schools make sense for bright, hard-working, sober kids who have the stats to consider applying to Top 25 schools; have great executive function skills; have good attendance and turn everything in on time; and are open to having an unusual college experience and an unusual career.

UK schools might work better for students who want a little more American-like college.

You can probably hold the total cost under $40,000 per year, or even under $30,000, in the EU and under $55,000 in the UK, but, if your daughter isn’t an EU national, she might have a hard time working, and she might have to look hard to find schools that can take 529 plan money or U.S. student loans.
