Lehigh/Bucknell/Holy Cross/Nova/Wake vs St. Andrews/UK Schools

I have mixed feelings on this. I have a niece and nephew who recently graduated from St. Andrews and a niece who is currently there’s and a nephew currently applying. The two recent grads had very different experiences and both loved it. One specifically chose St. Andrews for a unique, overseas experience and for the other it was a a backup plan when they didn’t get in to T30 schools. From my brother and sister who have paid for college in both the US and at St. Andrews they say it is definitely less expensive at St. Andrews. But, both kids who recently graduated have struggled with job placement now that they are back in the US. Of course that can happen anywhere but it does make me wonder if being overseas ends up being a bit of a disadvantage when it comes time to find a job after college. YMMV.
