Meet Olivia, Henry, and Kayla
Olivia was sure she wanted a school in Sweden that a family friend had attended. The problem? Sweden’s admissions timeline made it impossible for her to attend straight from high school. She learned this only after applying and came to Beyond the States to identify other options.
Henry was all set to apply to several different European business schools. But he started from scratch when he learned the meaning of key terms like triple crown accreditation and universities of applied sciences.
Kayla spent junior and senior year taking all AP classes, many of which were in subjects that didn’t interest her. She didn’t have time for extracurriculars, a job, or much time with friends…only to find out that her perfect European college only required 3 AP scores.
What Fits Someone Else Might Not Fit You
With over 3000 programs taught in English (and eye-poppingly affordable tuitions), college in Europe could be a great choice for you.
But like anything, what fits someone else might not fit you. It can difficult to find what you need from the overwhelming volume of information.
And a good deal of the European college info found online simply doesn’t apply to Americans.
Understanding how U.S. academic qualifications and interests translate into the various European systems can often be quite tricky.
