We help American families evaluate high-quality universities in continental Europe, the UK, and Canada before committing to a six-figure domestic decision.
Grounded in firsthand experience studying, working, and living across five countries.
Start the ConversationFor many families above the financial aid threshold, sticker is sticker.
Need-based aid often does not apply, and merit aid at the most selective universities is limited.
At many US private universities, the total cost of attendance now approaches $90,000 per year. Comparable international universities typically cost between one-third and one-half of that, not because the education is lesser, but because the underlying cost structures are different.
Against a US private at full sticker, the difference is often $40,000 to $60,000 per year.
That gap is why most families come to us. What matters next is whether the path is the right fit for this student.
International universities are not the consolation prize, even when they cost a fraction of a US university. For some students, they are the more focused and more intentional path. Studying economics at Bocconi, politics at London School of Economics, or engineering at TU Munich often means entering a field earlier, living more independently, and building a life in a new city, in a new culture, alongside students from around the world.
