Going to college in Athens, Greece?

Question

I'm trying to decide on a college to go, and I was wondering if I should return to my roots and study in Athens. I know little Greek, but am learning. Would this be wise/possible for me to go to Greece instead of stay in America?

Answer 1

Not really, no. Some really remarkable people have come out of Greek universities, but at the moment, the post-secondary education system is in shambles. Students have to deal with poor teaching standards, poorly-maintained facilities, low funding, and debilitating political protests. That's why so many Greek students are finding their way abroad for their studies these days.
