singapore engineering programs are very good cant lie, but that's why American schools have semester long immersions into other countries lmaoooo, so we can learn from others and come back after we are done

yes but a lot of US university connections and core curriculum is the best in the world only comparable to 1 or 2 in other countries: Zurich, NUS, Oxford, Cambridge, Tsinghua

true that,

but coming to your exchange program point. Exchange programs are only for the best students in the uni. Most students will probably never be offered exchange programs. You got to maintain a very high grade point as well as be in the good books of a good amount of proffs and very high social skills.

You cannot just say that every student goes for an exchange program cause that would be just misinformation. And if there is an American university that does not have such extremely strict rules, then most probably they are not sending you to any decent uni anyways and that exchange program is just a waste of time.

Then you have the fees that you have to pay in the US. Education is extremely cheap in Asia and EU compared to the US. The student debt thing is more problematic than most people think it is. It literally ruins your financial stability for the first 10-15 years of your work life assuming you got a 6 figure job. If you get anything less, you will be living paycheck to paycheck cause most engineering jobs require you to live in cities with extremely high cost of living.

So yes you have connections but those come at a heavy cost :)

  1. American universities are very generous with exchange programs/educational immersions, u are probably looking at this from an Indian uni pov where its prob more competitive
  2. I never said that every student goes for exchange program? nope America is rich and American universities are rich, they send their students to top exchange programs even giving international internships
  3. I agree with this to some degree, American colleges also give more aid than a lot of neighbors though I'm not sure about every country, there is a lot of debt that can come to you if you arent smart with ur financials so its about measuring ur options because for some of those high cost centers like the Silicon valley, the colleges there literally have confirmed jobs ready for you to make 6 figures out the gate

Honestly, it is you who is spreading misinformation (from a global perspective, since I believe you're talking specifically about India). Students can go for exchange if they manage to cross the threshold GPA (which isn't very high) and a few academic requirements, the only competition is getting your preferred university for exchange. It doesn't require any social skills and you don't need to be in anyone's good books, since the professors are not even involved in the exchange/study abroad process. It is either the international engagement team/global programs team/exchange office that looks after exchange and study abroad.

as I said, if you have a program that allows everyone to go for exchange, you are not joining top unis in other countries. Where you will go will most probably be a downgrade anyways.

If your exchange program is actually prestigious, you will have to face tough criteria.
