[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts here on Trinity College Dublin?

Also speaking more broadly, do US grad schools - law and business - look well or not on UK or Ireland degrees for American kids?

Lastly, what are the career offices and opportunity’s like for Americans graduating from these UK schools? Bound to work in UK - Europe or is US employment possible without great effort?[/quote]

Trinity College Dublin has a gorgeous campus in central Dublin. I think you'll get more American study abroads there than Americans there for four years, as opposed to St Andrews and Edinburgh with significant four-year American contingents. It's definitely the best university in Ireland, but I can't say much else about it as that's where my knowledge ends.

Yes, American law and business schools would definitely respect UK & Ireland degrees for American kids, the good American law and biz schools definitely know of TCD and the good British universities. Same with careers, especially if your kid is looking in major US metro areas, there are going to be lots of alumni of Oxbridge, St Andrews, LSE bopping around, surely alumni of other British unis to varying degrees as well.

My experience is with St Andrews, where many go on to American law or biz school, or good careers in the states:

If you go to the page of St Andrews alumni on Linkedin and search "JD", that way you'll get those who are in American law school and not British, which doesn't award JDs, you'll see alumni at law school at Harvard, Columbia, Berkeley, Stanford, Yale, Georgetown, UVA, Notre Dame, Michigan, BU, etc. Hun

If you filter St Andrews Alumni on Linkedin for MBA and with the location as United States, you'll see alumni at Harvard, Wharton, Kellogg, Dartmouth Tuck, Texas McCombs, UVA Darden, Vanderbilt, Chicago Booth, Duke, etc.

Anecdotally of DC's friends (final years at St Andrews), grad school offers from Oxford and Cambridge (multiple), Cornell, lots of the London universities. [/quote]
