Affordable Education Abroad: How American Students Can Save on College by Studying in Europe

As an American student, there is little that beats the American College experience. The relationships, the growth, the networking, the professors, just the overall atmosphere of that age group going through the experience together.

However, a lot has changed in the past decades and according to recent surveys more families are concerned about the decisions post-High School.  Among the greatest concern is the cost.  Back in my day, a private university was deemed expensive at 15,000 -17,000 including room and board.   Today, out-of -state Public school will run a tab of 60,000-80,000 USD and up.

And this is for a bachelor’s degree, only 20% of which will used professionally.

Add to that questions about censorship, indoctrination, having an education that is employable.

Fortunately, there are more options for the American student.   Currently, EISB graduates boast 100% acceptance rate into the students school of choice, 90% of which are in European Universities. Those that follow the program are independent learners who develop skills beyond test scores, who are market ready, and doing amazing at the next level.  More information on EISB programs can be found here.

Almost all of our graduates are doing their studies in English at reputable schools and paying a fraction of the costs from their coun

terparts across the pond.  Not only that, but right now, EISB is offering scholarships for top students, reducing the overall educational cost.  Foreign students also have the option for boarding here in the Capitol city in the heart of Europe.
