Even a good public university will get you a solid ROI if you choose the right major.
Plenty of great universities all over the world. If I have children with my girlfriend, they would have US, Australian, and Spanish (EU) citizenship. They can choose to go to university (and live) in the US, Australia, New Zealand, or any EU country. Many of which don't put their students in serious debt to go to uni.

Forgive my typo. I tend to type faster in my brain than my fingers can keep up with.
I can understand the typo, and it's irritating that we can't edit the title line.

But first, your poll isn't very good. Do you allow no possibility of positive feelings about America without the naive delusion that it's "the best country on earth"? Clearly, we're not the best, on almost any measure these days - not mortality, not health, not upward mobility, not education, almost nothing.

Second, your assumption that people would be so compassionate to provide moving funds seems delusional to me. I'm sure that sufficient money could be collected to move Trump to another country, but for any ordinary people here - well, we can see from the selfish way that people are snapping up supplies during the panic now that most people aren't big on helping their fellow-citizens.

So, the United States has more than 40% of the top 100 universities even though it is only 4% of the world's population.

I think I'll keep my bets on the United States.
