[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why or why not? Anyone with any direct experience?

This is a repost from the political board. I should have posted in here initially.

My dc is American but is half Asian (looks more Asian than white if that makes a difference) speaks some mandarin and his university has several programs in China, including at a top school in Shanghai that dc is very interested in attending. But not sure it’s safe. Taiwan might be a better option but he’s not as interested in the partner program there. Dc is not into politics, and has never voted although he did register Dem last year.

I was interested to see the Canadian travel advisory for the US. Made the US sound terribly unsafe!

We are Brazilian currently living in São Paulo and my son was accepted to Brown and NYU and also a couple of European schools. Given the recent US Gov view on foreign students, we have the same issues that you Americans do when worrying about your kids going abroad.

We adivsed him to forgo those offers and accept one of the UK/EU offers. He is now deciding between LSE, St Andrews and Bocconi.[/quote]

That’s interesting to hear. As an American who knows kids at both those schools, and I attended one of them, my instinct is to say you’re just being paranoid. These schools are both safe. But I can also see how you’d feel that way, and that travel advisory certainly paints a dim view of the US! [/quote]
