U.S.A. the better choice?

Is the "land of opportunity" really the ultimate choice for university? Without having to consider the financial issues, or living costs, or housing situations. I think, the most important part of choosing a university is being able to decide on what you like and what kind of programs fit you the most. The states may just have a better reputation but other places in the world may have great programs that fit all your needs and may even exceed your expectations. So, I believe that you do not have to just limit your choices to the states, but rather, expand to other areas other than the U.S. to experience a diversity of cultures throughout the world.
