Letters: College abroad can be the ticket

Re “Think outside the quad,” Opinion, Aug. 22

Author Aaron Rosen makes a great case for going to Europe for college, but focuses almost entirely on Britain. For those a bit more adventurous, Germany also offers an excellent option. Public universities are well funded, so even world-class ones such as Heidelberg or Göttingen can charge low student fees. There is, of course, a language barrier, especially in the humanities, but programs in the sciences typically are taught in English.

One can see the many distinct advantages for U.S. students to attending university in Britain. However, reports indicate that many high school graduates today would find English to be a foreign language.
