Would You Pick Prestige or Practicality?

Imagine turning down Columbia for grad school! Royanne Ng did just that after making a pros-and-cons list. The $80k+ price tag, safety worries, and old-school programs in the US just didn’t add up for her. Instead, she picked Amsterdam for a future-focused, affordable master’s that actually fits her career goals. Her take: brand names are cool, but relevance and cost matter way more—especially if you’re heading home after. Would you have made the same call? #Education #GradSchoolDecisions #StudyAbroad
