    Colleges in the US are a ridiculous price. You are looking at several hundred thousand euro of debt for a degree that you could do here for about €3k per year. TCD and UCD are among the best universities in the world. Most of the lecturers have PhDs from Ivy League colleges so the standard of education is similar to that of top Universities in the US.

    It makes more sense doing an undergraduate in Ireland and then doing a masters abroad. TCD has places to study abroad in the US if you do really well in first year. You only have to pay the Irish registration fee.
