[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools like McGill and St. Andrews are seen as a clear step below the top ranked (think top 30-40 or so) schools. I'm sure you can still get a decent education at them, but I'm a little baffled as to why people seem convinced they'd give you a leg up in the job market stateside. I'm a hiring manager. It's not.

If DC wants to stay abroad or live in those countries for the mid- to long-term, go for it. Otherwise, staying in America is the wiser choice.[/quote]

If you’re still here: how do you feel about Dutch and German universities? Example: the University of Amsterdam.[/quote]

I don't think Americans know one way or there other. A given dutch university could be world class or equivalent of community college and I doubt most American hr departments would know the difference. I think if you go that route, the intent has to be to stay in Europe, at least while you start your career [/quote]

Thanks. Maybe my son will slide into staying in Europe.
