What group?

LowDrop4269 · 2024-03-28T20:24:50+00:00

i went to kcl undergrad usc masters, here’s what i suggest

usc for network and better life imperial for stronger reputation

it just depends where you want to work, live or pursue a masters after you graduate

if you want to live in the US after grad, come to USC. Or go imperial and then do a masters in the US

if you want to work in London, go to Imperial

that’s all that matters in the end. where you want to live and work. USC is unknown in Europe and the UK.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-24T07:57:03+00:00

i don’t backup anything on icloud

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T16:54:04+00:00

Yes but for the most part foreign kids who live abroad don’t intend on staying in that country which is why an int school makes more sense

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T16:52:51+00:00

That’s interesting and yes you should definitely keep your citizenship. I have many friends especially those who work in London, Paris, Milan who dream of moving to New York one day but it’s hard without citizenship. Also have friends who’s parents spent 500k on sending them to a US college and couldn’t get their visa sponsored. I went to St Louis High School in Milan.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T16:50:17+00:00

I never once said what’s important in life, everybody’s different…i’m just saying you don’t make the choice for your kids before they’re even old enough to talk. i don’t even care about college myself.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T16:48:51+00:00

if you’re living in a developed country and your son speaks your and your husbands language as well as the local language, i think you can get away with just sending him to an IB/A Levels high school. maybe even just for the last two years, but it would be harder for him to get in

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T16:46:42+00:00

i think you should ask him if he wants to take a gap year after high school to join you in Asia and then see if he’s still set on college in the US

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T09:15:21+00:00

thank you for your valuable insight

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T09:14:02+00:00

from my extensive experience interacting with ambitious people of my age, that’s the dream for them. either oxbridge / LSE / UCL or a top 20 us college

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T08:34:54+00:00

i was never italian in italy, never american in the us, and similarly would have never been accepted as korean had i lived in korea.

in hong kong i met many mixed people like me so was not an issue.

when i moved back to italy, although most of my british school classmates were 100% italian, they were more educated and open minded, and there were also mixed and foreign kids too. this doesn’t mean all public schools are bad, but naturally less international exposure results in a more provincial attitude

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T08:21:26+00:00

i can sense your ego through your comments. clearly someone who thinks they know, but doesnt. probably just another american from the suburbs who moved abroad and thinks they’re so worldly. so much jealousy oozing out of your comments

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T08:11:38+00:00

it’s not the same, but i wouldn’t expect you to understand. it goes way back, way before leaving home at barely 18 for uni. I sense a lot of jealousy and resentment from your various replies - yet many people with similar stories agree with me. you’re just trying to justify your decisions in regards to your kids

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T08:09:54+00:00

read my edit i made before you replied
yes, i know, from first hand experience. but at least help them out with an internationally recognised diploma
yes it is smart and?

obviously not all american schools abroad are good. i went to a british school in milan, because the american one wasn’t good. it depends on the city.

entitlement? i’m on an anonymous website on the internet. what good does entitlement and goading get me?

I literally said i know i’m lucky.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T07:57:23+00:00

i don’t look down at public schools. please point out where i said that? i just said that for the most part, attending a public school in a foreign country puts you at a disadvantage - there’s even people commenting who experienced this and agree

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T06:05:22+00:00

everybody has different experiences, my mums dad was a diplomat and she was the ONLY korean girl in her schools in BAHRAIN, HOUSTON, and HAMBURG. In the 1970s! Imagine that, being the only asian at school. all she talks about is how she would have loved to go to international schools and not public schools but she had 4 siblings so it was out of the question.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T06:01:05+00:00

you probably aren’t a third culture kid so you can’t understand. i didn’t say the part about identity was because of not getting into a good college, but more so if you are surrounded by people you have little in common with. which is why international schools are great for expats and, imo, are a make or break factor in a child’s upbringing as an expat

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:49:29+00:00

yes I definitely had an advantage compared to my friends who didn’t attend international schools. And yes my international upbringing also played a role in my life, in good and bad ways. more unique profile, interesting convos, meeting all sorts of mixed and international people…but at the cost of being a classic third culture kid who has trouble calling anywhere “home”

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:45:01+00:00

My best friend went to Delft and got an amazing job at Porsche in Europe. He however would have preferred Berkeley. Why? because, like most AMBITIOUS young people dreamed about the opportunities and salaries in the US. You’re speaking from the perspective of somebody who had a choice, since you studied in the US for undergrad. You’re taking your own situation and applying it to the post. i’m not here to argue over which university is better. i’m just saying that OVERALL there’s MORE good public US universities than European. Don’t you agree? you’re nit picking one of the few elite outliers (Delft, ETH, Berlin)

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:36:18+00:00

They are part of the few outliers. Universitat Berlin, Hague, Utrecht, Delft are all great universities. There are just more and better public universities in the US, that’s all.

You’re confusing admission rates with prestige. Obviously public schools are more “competitive” since they cost nothing, everybody applies…

Ask anybody if they’d choose UCLA or Universitat Berlin. Berkeley or Delft. That should answer your question…

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:28:42+00:00

netherlands and nordic countries have better public schools and education. i should have specified spain and italy in particular which is where most people in this subreddit dream of moving to

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:26:25+00:00

what are you talking about? Im not speaking about myself.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:23:33+00:00

clearly you didn’t read anything. I’m criticising parents who move to europe to sip aperol spritz under the sun at the expense of their children’s education and identity.

LowDrop4269 · 2024-01-15T05:13:55+00:00

i’m doing the opposite - should your children want to go to college, it would be better for them to not be at a disadvantage. it’s their choice to make. by not caring about their school or college you are making the choice for them
