IDK how it is today, but last decade the US was considered to have many of the best educational institutions.

>Many Americans would be seriously surprised by the balance of left and right at continental European universities.

Yes, because EU "left" would be accused of socialism, whereas the EU "right" would mostly be the US's existing left wing. the US right wing was always on a far side and these days fell straight to the AfD levels of extremism.

It's not one sided, but the spectrum is completely different.

>And Asian universities are a completely different world.

I'm sure they are. a history fighting within the eastern continent and a rule of emporers will shape differently than from a land of conquerers puahing for conformity who eventually tried to make nice as their regimes fell and created this hybrid of individualism and trade amongst one another.
