How are the quality of colleges in the United States compared to those of other countries?

Answer 1

Of the 100 best colleges in the world, 60 are in the USA. If you want proof then check on the number of foreign students who want to come to the USA for college. They vote with their feet.

Answer 2

The party's are best in the US. Academically it's hard to generalize. Some of the best colleges in the world are in the US. But there are great colleges in most countries.

Answer 3

There are over 6000 different schools in the USA for students coming out of high school to pick from. There are about 3000 colleges and universities. Nearly all of those accept a majority of all people who apply. About 100 schools accept less than 50% of the people who apply. About 20 schools accept less than 30% - those include the famous 8 schools of the Ivy league (Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Columbia) and MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Duke, Chicago, and a few others that can be argued as being in the 'elite." these schools are generally accepted as being among the very best in the world.

The elite schools enroll about a total of 30 - 40, 000 students each year(they turn down probably about 200,000, many thousands of whom are very well qualified). In those schools there are excellent resources, great libraries, science buildings, art buildings, and student and faculty who are brilliant and hardworking. In the non-elite schools there are stil some of the best students in america, but they are mixed in with a lot of students who are less well prepared, often less talented, and less dedicated to working hard on their studies. In those schools you can still get a very good education, but you might have to fight your way through a crowd of people who are not as dedicated to success as you are.

A way to understand the American system and how it works, is to realize that in many countries only the top few percent of all students get to go to college. In the USA, over 60% (yes, sixty) of all students who can somehow make their way to high school graduation, go on to college. So even kids who are in the bottom half of their high school class are routinely admitted to a college. Many of them dont ever graduate from college, but they are admitted and get a chance to succeed. So that makes a big difference in the way American non-elite colleges operate, compared to colleges in other countries.
