One of mine is getting a degree overseas. It was the best place to be for this particular major (involving languages). Her uni was actually more difficult to get into, as a very specific set of scores, AP exams, and other exam scores had to be met, including a terrifying (I was told) language exam containing an oral component, where people were snapping orders at you in their native language. She had to make sure all requirements would be met while still in the middle of high school.
