[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing to keep in mind is that some EU bachelor’s programs are less than

Correction: [u]***$2,500***[/u] per year.

The tuition at my son’s school his freshman year was about $600, which might be less than some students at U.S. schools spend on laundry or ice cream.

In my son’s case, the program was an English-language program at a school that ranked 20th in the world in his major.

The overall undergraduate experience was just not even close to being as good as at good U.S. school. I think that parents who can afford to send their kids to U.S. schools should cough up the money. Why be stingy with a wonderful kid who can get into UNC out of state? What vacation or retirement home can be worth more than having a bright, well-educated kid?

But, if you can’t afford to pay more than $60,000 per year for college, having the option of paying less than $20,000 per year, all in, for a somewhat impersonal but rigorous program is a wonderful thing. [/quote][/quote]
