Any of those have great universities, focused on academic excellence not race, and very affordable even for international students. And with degree in English.

Ah, but the discrimination starts much earlier for the people who immigrate there. Your child will not be on college track because their "language skills are not good enough" or they will go to "black schools" (yes, that's what they call the heavily immigrant schools in the Netherlands). Trust me, every country/culture has its own way of discriminating against folks that are of other races and cultures.

Maybe you can get into the colleges there as an a high school student. It is a much different experience, which your child might enjoy. Just be prepared and know what your child is getting into. I went to school in one of these countries because I lived there. The students all longed for an American type of college experience (not necessarily the education, but the whole experience, which may not be important to your child). Also, keep in mind that the education will be centered on the country where your child studies (just like an American university is American-centric). Not saying that's bad, but depending on the child's major, it may not be transferrable here. Also, getting a job here will be harder from a European uni, especially a lesser known or lesser regarded one (from what I've seen based on relatives' experiences). There are great life experiences to be gained from living overseas, but the college experience might not be what you are expecting.

1) many countries are ethnically homogenous and have basically no people from other cultures 2) OP's child would not be immigrating there. besides, almost nobody discriminates against americans.

This is a really good reference list for states and public 4-year colleges which do not consider race in admissions:

"Eight states have enacted laws banning the consideration of race in university admissions: Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Washington. The information below is a compilation of data on the consideration of race in admissions at public four-year universities in the 50 states."

Thank you!

This gives me hope.

Are there similar ballot initiatives going on in some of the other states?

UCs are amazing.

the entrance requirements abroad are very different. nobody cares about your passions and saving orphans or playing a trombone. if you can pass an entrance exam (which is knowledge based, so you can't do that just because you are smart like you can with SATs) you ca most likely make it.

One of many areas where the Europeans have more sense than us..

I've been living close to 30 years in this country, and it never ceases to amaze me all the senseless stuff going on for no particular reason other than it satisfies some myopic special interest (left or right).

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?

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 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.

Last time I checked, it was the rabid Lefties threatening to leave. Such a disappointment y'all are all STILL HERE. Wahh!

I'm looking forward to all these alt-right idiots and people with persecution complexes moving to Prague and Vilnius. Bye!

OP, all colleges with any quality and selective admissions will consider diversity in some way. Drop the persecution complex, or enjoy your kid's degree from an online for-profit college.

You have mental issues, dude or dudette.

OP asks a perfectly reasonable question. So reasonable, in fact, that the US is one of the few openly racist systems in the developed world.

Get a passport and a brain.

This is so stupid it's almost funny. Sweden doesn't have affirmative action because it doesn't have a disgusting history of slavery and Jim Crow that created an unlevel playing field among applicants, you dimwit. But I'm sure when your kid can't get into a community college you'll find a way to make it a minority's fault.

LOL!!!! Oh, honey. What you don’t know about Swedish History could fill the Baltic Sea.

Doh!
