Help my daughter build her list. She's a 10th grader with a solid 4.1 weighted and AP/Honors classes. Wants to attend for Political Science but her dream career changes regularly. She wants to attend school in Germany or the UK.[/quote]

I am German citizen and have degrees from major UK (BA) and US (MS) universities + I attended a German university for 1.5 years.

European universities don’t really offer “Liberal Arts” or general college education. You pick a subject/major and work towards your degree starting from semester 1.

Also, the German college experience is subpar. It’s mostly focused on education, zero school spirit, no campus life, etc. Some of the historical college towns might be appealing in the beginning (Heidelberg, Marburg, Tuebingen) but I would only recommend it to exchange students for the experience. Personally, I enjoyed my time in the UK but I feel much more connected to my US alma mater (big state school with bigtime athletics). [/quote]
