[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the adult responsibility required at European universities very appealing. The US undergraduate experience has become an insanely expensive extension of high school. I am not paying 200-400k for my child to bounce around exploring basket weaving and kinesiology. A focused course of study with a good ROI at a price we can cash flow suits me fine. [/quote]

You could also just send your kid to UVA in state and tell them not to change majors? Or whatever your flagship is… Wouldn’t that be cheaper than flying your kid to Europe? I’d think it would be difficult to land summer internships from across the pond too. [/quote]

as a parent who had a kid who picked a UK school and who had summer opportunities at Google and then Airbnb (corp), this is inaccurate. But it's what I worried about too, so I'm not being snarky. Not to dox my kid with more details, but they ended up at a mega American corp in London for their first job with a path within company back to states when they want to, which is not yet.  The visa issue with Americans with UK degrees (allowing them to work for a few years in UK) is appealing to companies.  Doesn't get you hired, but clears one bothersome hurdle [/quote]
