Beyond the States empowers your decision-making with the best college admissions counseling for Europe
Kelly found Beyond the States to be an indispensable tool for her daughter's college search.
"I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for our daughter. When she told me she wanted to go to Europe for school, I thought there was no way. I started doing research and found you and BTS. From there we signed her up for master classes, scoured the data base and found the greatest community of parents in various stages of education in the EU. We could not have done this without BTS!"
Megan found her dream school and is graduating without college debt.
"Beyond the States best fit list helped me find my dream university. Using the expertise of Beyond the States helped me find a college that meets all my needs and I will graduate debt free. Thank you!"
Thank you Beyond the States!
"Your college admissions counseling and best fit list was extremely helpful for my son as he looked at schools to apply to in Europe. The top suggestion from the analysis was the Maastricht Science Program. On paper it is exactly what he had been looking for but didn’t know existed. We visited d and he fell in loves it the place. He was just accepted to attend there and it feels like the perfect fit. About half the price of in state tuition here and a highly ranked school."
Makena loved the clarity she got from the courses
"I found this class extremely helpful because finding information about European schools could be very difficult especially if you don't have a college counsellor to ask like me. I learned a lot about the process of applying and it helped me kind of narrow down what I'm interested in academically. There were pieces of information that I learned from this course that you can't really find on the internet because it's something you learn from experience. Thank you :)"
Jordyn didn't like US colleges and is now going to Prague!
"So thankful we found Beyond the States for our daughter who is going to AAU Prague this Fall. This would NOT have been possible without BTS! Going through high school she knew she didn't want a typical US university and deal with the competitive nature of trying to get in. If we never found Beyond the States, I am not sure we would have even known about college abroad for a Bachelor degree in an English speaking program."
Naomi loved the community of similar students and parents on the same boat!
"One thing that I found very helpful in this course was getting to communicate with people who were considering the same things I was and getting to listen to them pick your brain during the zoom calls."
Why Beyond the states?
“Studying in Europe means lifelong memories beyond borders and classrooms.”
