As Naglfar devours us all
It depends in which area you're talking about and which universities, because I'm sure that the Art Colleges here are better than most of the ones in the US.
You guys got a better school than RISDI? Doubt it.
The issue with American universities is that they have so much more money than schools anywhere else. The income of middle-of-the-pack American schools are on par with the best universities elsewhere. Top US schools have endowments in the billions of dollars (Harvard and Yale have tens of billions).
That's why you can learn Swedish at so many schools over here! They have the money for a token Swedish instructor! Hell, they teach Old Norse at my old school, and taught Sumerian at the place I went for college!
