Re:Why Germany Educates International Students for Free by mafribe on Sunday April 30, 2017 @10:32AM (#14231667)
If you worry about accreditation and brand recognition, why not do a Bachelor's degree in Europe for free/cheap and then do a Masters in the US?

The Masters programs in top US universities are much easier to get into than their undergraduate degrees, and you'll only pay crazy fees for a short while.

Moreover, undergraduate teaching isn's all that different anyway, they mostly use the same textbooks, and most important: how much you learn is mostly a function of how much effort studying you put in (aka the negative correlation between party and learning). A good Bachelor's degree from a good European university coupled with a good letter of recommendation will get you into masters program in top US schools. (Source: I'm teaching at a European univ here, and I always gets my top students into US masters courses if I want to.)
