As more and more universities capitulate to Trump's limitations, sending your child to those schools where education could now be limited, DEI puts them in a bubble, and tuition costs could lead them to a lifetime of debt, sending them to other places in the world to study makes sense. I won't even mention the limited number of shootings on campuses in other countries compared to those in the U.S.
Depending on the country, English university courses can be offered, but the gift of a second language increases job possibilities, plus an enrichment of life in general.
As for costs, it varies. Some countries now are charging more for American students, but there are still those where costs are minimal. There are some universities that will want the student to have a year of a U.S. university to make up for what they consider an inadequate base education.
In my daughter's case, which was a few decades ago , it was about $43 a semester for the undergraduate. Her Masters in Scotland was a fraction of the same type of program as it would have been in America. Had she been a Scot, it would have been free.
A lot depends on what your child wants to do in life. Start researching educational opportunities and requirements in schools in various countries. Ideally it would be good to start in 7th grade when languages can still be acquired.
There are wonderful universities all over the world. It shouldn't be necessary to limit one's child to the U.S.
