📌 Episode Recap:
More and more students are asking about studying abroad—and with good reason! International universities offer academic rigor, shorter degree timelines, and rich cultural experiences that truly broaden students’ worlds.

- Tips & Common Pitfalls – what to watch for in the UCAS and Irish application systems
- Real Talk for B Students – options for those not earning 4s and 5s on AP exams
- Hidden Gems – incredible universities that flew under the radar but delivered world-class programs
📝 Key Takeaways:
Families left with a clear understanding of how UK and Irish universities evaluate applicants, the differences in structure and cost, and whether an international degree might fit their students’ goals and personality.
