Generally, its more attractive for most people to go to college abroad or at least to another nearby country. The problem with that of course is paying for school. Almost no young people here come from a family who are able to finance an expensive college degree. So, the choices are to go to school here and get what most young people feel is a less than stellar education or go abroad somewhere and start earning money for college in a place where you can earn in 1 year what would take 3 years to earn here. There are a few international college scholorships available for those few students who are the best of the best but that could be compared to winning the lottery.
