  Thanks for sharing, Kristin. I’ve been monitoring this closely, as my daughter is planning to start, most likely at University College Groningen next fall. Has BTS connected at all with any of the University Colleges to ask what they think this means for them?

Even Dutch companies and businesses have come together this week to protest these proposals. If you ask a university what this means, or will mean for them, right now they will still throw their hands up and say they “don’t know”. I…[Read more]

I happen to be in the same boat as many of the families and students I work with, as my own daughter is in her junior year of high school, and she’s dead-set on a school and program in Italy for her bachelor’s degree.

There’s a lot to digest with regard to admissions at this school, and I encourage you to attend one of their open house sessions if possible. They just sent me this…[Read more]

    Thanks so much for sharing this! I’m excited to hear your daughter is interested in Bocconi University. It sounds like you should do a campus visit if you get a chance!
    
    I’m just going to add the BTS link in case anyone else is interested in checking them out and getting all the details.
