If I were a college student today, I’d seriously consider going outside of the US.
My daughter is a high school freshman. Her two of her top three college choices are 1. Cambridge University 2. The University of Norway in Oslo. She is only looking at one US school as of right now, and that’s Yale. She’s considering Yale only because her favorite high school science teacher is an Alum and he told her she has the intellect and work ethic to be successful there.
