Why More American Students Are Choosing Europe for College
In this episode of the Beyond The States podcast, we sit down with our student ambassadors—the “Abroad Squad”—to get the unfiltered truth about the international student experience. While the U.S. higher education system is becoming increasingly expensive and exhausting, many students are finding a better path in Europe.

One of the biggest revelations in this discussion is the cost. Many English-taught degrees in Europe cost significantly less than American public universities, even after factoring in travel and cost of living.
