The Top 226 Non-US Universities for American Students
We combined academic power, local happiness factors, and costs into one mega score, all made for international students who might benefit from having a lot of university and local resources in English, low cost of living and tuition, high academic reputation, and small class sizes.
Because all our universities were already filtered by being in the global top 1500 and hosting at least 5% international students, they're all good schools already — we just divided them into 4 buckets: A+, A-, B+, and B-. No one's average here.
