Many people from less developed countries want to go to the US for education. But hasn't this always been the case? People have always gone to the world leading country. It has happened since Ancient Greece. Plus, people seem to care too much about University Rankings, which to be honest are pretty crap statistics.

One thing I'll say though, is that American universities are a bit of a rip off price wise. After finishing secondary school, I was looking at universities. I could have gone anywhere in the world, and so I thought I'd look at Columbia University. Spoke to admissions, they were pretty confident they'd accept me if I applied, but then I found out the price. Straight away, I thought it was a waste of money! I'd end up getting in more debt than if I stayed in the UK.

In the end, I came to France because their education I think is much better than UK or US, and it costs me no more than 400euros a year in admission fees.
