Globe Trotting: College Options Outside Your Country
For students around the world, going to college in America has been a goal of many for decades. AB host Lee Coffin and his guest Robin Appleby—who led schools in London, The Hague and Dubai—ponder the opportunities of American higher education for an international audience of prospective applicants. Appleby encourages students to explore the “why?” of applying to schools abroad and to ask questions like “what kind of learner am I?” They discuss the advantages of studying a wide range of subjects versus the norm of a more structured concentration in a local university as well as the cultural and personal lessons such an American adventure offers.
