Hello, and thanks for doing this!
I am a US citizen deciding where to do my PhD in public health. I have been accepted to a Top-10 (but not Top-5) program in the US with a team that that has an exceptional publication record, and a not so well known university in Europe with an excellent supervisor who is well known and respected and who was previously at a top university in the US and maintains her links there (and whom I currently work with). Both programs are funded; the European program is better funded but has fewer coursework/training opportunities.
Do you have any sense of the perception of Europe v US programs? I want to pursue an academic career if possible, and feel it might be frowned upon to pursue a degree in Europe as an American.
Thanks!!
