I have a couple of friends/acquaintances who have sent their kids to school in Europe/Canada. Those that studied in the UK (some are still at university) ended up finding work in the UK and staying (2 had British parents although they grew up in the US - 1 didn’t have any ties). The kids studying in Canada are at McGill - we send a few kids there every year and my own S24 considered it. I can’t comment on their job situation - most are still students. My kids have a good friend that has been studying at Ghent for international relations (the program is in English). He has traveled all over the world during his time there, but , once again, despite growing up in the US he has one German (?) parent and family still in Europe. Finally, a good family friend’s daughter did her vet program in Ireland (zero family ties outside the US) because it was much cheaper. She had no trouble getting a vet job here in the US. In terms of “placement” - no college, here or in Europe, “places” your kid. They have career services in the US, and some campus recruiting, but kids are responsible for finding their own job(s) - no one is going to hand it to them regardless of how prestigious (or not) the school is.
