<p>@amtc - It’s certainly true that your family has more time at NU than ours and I value your perspective! It’s certainly not true that I see no negatives in the program, but we know kids in every top MT program and are aware of equally significant negatives in those programs as well, so the negatives don’t deter our enthusiasm as we were aware of most of them going in.</p>
<p>Apparently our D knows all the kids who study abroad. ;-D Still, if only 2 out of the ~20 (?) juniors in your D’s MT class went abroad, 10% is a higher ratio than my engineering class had so it’s not bad. And the list of location choices we saw when D applied were more impressive than other schools she considered.</p>
