US REVISITING THE VALUE OF ELITE COLLEGES
US REVISITING THE VALUE OF ELITE COLLEGES
The New York Times
May 23, 2011
By David Leonhardt
A decade ago, two economists — Stacy Dale and Alan Krueger — published a research paper arguing that elite colleges did not seem to give most graduates an earnings boost. As you might expect, the paper received a ton of attention. Ms. Dale and Mr. Krueger have just finished a new version of the study — with vastly more and better data, covering people into their 40s and 50s, as well as looking at a set of more recent college graduates — and the new version comes to the same conclusion.
Krueger writes this, "That you go to college is more important than where you go. Recognize that your own motivation, ambition and talents will determine your success more than the college name on your diploma."

US 2011 STUDYING ABROAD: US IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN
Think US universities are elitist and prohibitively expensive? Think again. The States can open doors, says Chris Alden.

Posted May 23, 2011
Which country is the number one foreign-study destination? A glance at the upper reaches of the latest Times Higher Education World University Rankings is all you need to find your answer. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), California Institute of Technology (Caltech): there are no fewer than seven US institutions in the top 10, and 21 in the top 30, so it‟s little wonder that the US is popular with British students.
“I think students realise that going to the US says something about them,” says Lauren Welch, head of advising at the Fulbright Commission, which represents American universities in the UK. In a recent survey, 91 per cent of British students cited the quality of universities as a reason for choosing the US.
