Actually if we talk about post-Soviet countries some degrees there have value. They teach physics and math really good, otherwise, why would there be so many talented Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian programmers? When it comes to social studies, economics, law, not so much, but if someone got degree from place like MFTI it's probably gives that person more credit that degree from average US university.
I agree. Post Soviet countries had really good education.
My Hungarian Bsc level maths/cs degree was way more difficult than my UK masters or my second masters in Belgium.
You needed to learn and you had to think, not only buff back the knowledge. Also the competition was quite high. Still, the universities of my masters' are in the top 200 and the Hungarian university is not in the top 500.
Well, that's life. But I still was not able to get a visa (to be ontopic).
