That was surprising to be sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078433 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:53:10 +0000 RLCeigh 1078433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooo- thanks for the list!<br /> I work at #79 so I hope to still be here (or somewhere similar) and we can take advantage of tuition remission.<br /> But then he is def going to (hopefully) take advantage of study abroad! I spent a full academic year in France and it was the best decision ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078424 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:49:18 +0000 MamaMoose 1078424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I'm also not so sure I agree with the ranking. My study abroad program was through the King's College and while I enjoyed it I would definitely not rank it above studying at the London School of Economics! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078421 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:47:34 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1078421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a US school in the top 25. Study abroad is great too, but the US represents very well in the top 25. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078409 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:42:43 +0000 Mrsbells 1078409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I studied outside the US so I would be open to my LO doing the same, its a great experience </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078406 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:39:44 +0000 heartonastring 1078406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay! My alma mater's in the top 25!</p> <p>I would encourage study abroad/exchange, but would prefer if she stayed in Canada for undergrad.....it's a lot more affordable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078382 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 07:29:30 +0000 skipra 1078382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my undergrad degree from a foreign school (on this list!) and would most likely encourage LO if that is what he desired. I guess it would depend on what field he is interested in. Although I would not change my experience, I do believe that in the field I got my degree I would have been better off finding a good job after graduation if I had stayed in the U.S. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078306 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 06:51:10 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1078306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would absolutely encourage study abroad, but probably something more like I did with an American program. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078294 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 06:43:31 +0000 Pepper 1078294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely support/encourage him if he wanted to study abroad. That's something I wish I did! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078282 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 06:32:41 +0000 Adira 1078282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know... I watched that Amanda Knox Lifetime movie...</p> <p>I wouldn't DISCOURAGE studying abroad, but I probably won't be the one to bring it up, haha. And if they want to do it, depending on where and how long and how it works with their studies, I probably wouldn't be against it. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078267 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 06:22:44 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1078267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would encourage study abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078263 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 06:13:35 +0000 looch 1078263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great list and I would encourage my son to go abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078233 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 04:43:33 +0000 Andrea 1078233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, my uni is on this list! I would love for my kids to go there. It's in the US and not too far away from home. I wouldn't encourage them to pursue an entire undergraduate degree abroad. I don't think I would be ready to have them go so far. However, I guess my parents let me go pretty far so we'll see! Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078215 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 03:22:30 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1078215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% I will encourage my kids to travel far and wide, and I think doing a degree abroad is one of the best ways to become comfortable in a new country! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078196 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 02:17:45 +0000 Penny Lane 1078196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first NZ school on that list... number 94. winning {sarcasm font}.</p> <p>my university was number 265 on that list -.-</p> <p>DH is pretty set on our kids attending his university, but we'll see what happens when they're old enough to decide themselves! not ruling anything out!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078180 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 01:26:38 +0000 PurplePeony 1078180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The university where I spent my junior year is in the top 35, woohoo! The college I actually went to/graduated from is far too small to ever make lists like this, though it does consistently appear on various "top liberal arts colleges" lists.</p> <p>I LOVED my year abroad and will highly encourage our kids to spend time studying outside the US, either in DH's native country if they want or elsewhere if that appeals to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078147 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 00:11:57 +0000 sunny 1078147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't trust this organization's ranking criteria! There was another list that was program specific and it seemed totally wrong to me. </p> <p>I think spending a semester abroad would be ok but I would miss her! I wouldn't encourage her to do her degree in a foreign university though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078142 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 00:04:54 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1078142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely I would encourage a LO to study abroad. Its one of the things I regret most about not doing in college. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078141 Wed, 11 Sep 2013 00:04:25 +0000 mrs.cookie 1078141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My college was 86! That's something I guess. I think it's the only one in there from my state.</p> <p>I would definitely encourage my LOs to study abroad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/top-100-world-universities-2013#post-1078130 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 23:46:52 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1078130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Here's the recent rankings by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).
