[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not just about the college. It’s about quality of life—quality of healthcare, education, and civic responsibility. It’s exhausting to watch corruption unfold in front of you every day. There’s peace of mind in living somewhere where life feels easier and the people around you share your values.[/quote]

Lol Tell me you’ve never actually lived overseas. [/quote]

The rose-colored glasses these people wear regarding what they think life is like overseas is just pathetic.  [/quote]

Let's see what is _pathetic_

People who spend half a million dollars on a degree and still rely on their daddy or mommy or uncle to find them a job.
People who have to turn to GoFundMe for medical expenses are a norm in the richest country.
And people who prioritize prestige, brand names, and greed above everything else are equally lost.

It’s actually simple: many people don’t realize that these things don’t determine quality of life. Attending an Ivy League school doesn’t magically make you royalty.

Regarding your last sentence - well, duh!  Of course.  That's quite the non sequitur you jumped to.  My kids attend in-state universities that we're thrilled with and pay reasonable prices for.

As for medical care, do you realize that many people living in countries with socialized medicine (UK, Canada, etc.) wait for YEARS just to get appointments??  And people in other countries *also* often rely on family connections for jobs.

But go ahead and live in your fantastical, imaginary, "corruption-free" utopia!   :lol: [/quote]
