[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I absolutely had to Google this about programs in English in Eastern Europe and the Baltics.  Vilnius University's bachelor's programmes cost only 1900 euros a YEAR?!?  
Charles Univ. in Prague would be incredible too but I'm not sure how healthcare works, the isolation factor as an international student, cost of flights home etc.  
Is there a person out there with experience of these universities?[/quote]

I don't have experience in those precise universities but happy to answer generally:
-- yes, tuition and living costs are much lower
-- good public healthcare, and easy to pay in as an international student (think less than $1k/ year)
-- isolation: not really a factor in major cities  (tons of students from other European countries, and from Asia). True, depends where you go there'd be few US students -- but perhaps that's the opportunity to grow up and branch out?
-- flights home: depends a lot on specific cities and dates, but airfare can be $1k or so.

The major drawback would be to find a job in the US right after graduation. I[b] don't know if it's possible, but in an ideal scenario you could spend 3 great years in a top European university and then transfer to a top US one for the fourth one and the job interviews -- and your story would be very compelling.[/b][/quote]

i as a transfer student from a european university. maybe things have changed but it was not possible to transfer more than 2 years. still, that would be substantial savings while overall a much better bath than doing the same from a community college. you can also go to a masters program or some other grad school program.

Agreed. I did my full undergrad in Europe, then got into a great masters in the US. Better and cheaper.[/quote]
