Elite universities in Europe:
-
Yes, many of us got UG degrees in Europe and then graduate degrees in the USA. Some of us think that Europe is good for undergraduate education. We tend to think highly of our schools. There are many good students there. However, 25 years later we all want our kids to attend US colleges. We are ready to pay. We do not want our kids to attend our great European universities for free. Why?

This!

It is not so much about the quality (well, except for the Ivy League) but because of jobs in the academic sector. There are many more opportunities in the US than in Europe.

Speak for yourself. I'm heading out of here as soon as I would be forced to put a child into the US education system.

Tell me how you will be feeling in ... years when your daughter will be filling out a common application form while being based in Europe.

So how do you define good schools?

Because
1) you don't want them to live on another continent
2) your kids are American, and think of Europe as that boring place where they sometimes have to go to visit grandparents, so they don't want to go there to study
3) they're probably more interested in how nice the campus is than in the quality of the universityBottom line, not in any way related to the quality of the education they receive.

Bottom line, not in any way related to the quality of the education they receive.My point is that "we" do not want them to study in Europe. I know that they prefer the US. By the way do we really care about continents?
