It is not surprising that research on those who completed a university degree and especially those who studied in other European countries as part of the ERASMUS agreement have more favorable views of Europe than those who did not. In the ERASMUS Impact Study, 88% of U.K. citizens who studied in another country reported feeling very European and 84% had a positive attitude towards Europe in contrast to the 62% of non-mobile U.K. students.
The impact of university study, especially when coupled with international exposure, is consistent with the pattern among U.S.A. citizens who voted in the recent elections for President. The difference between university graduates' view of the world has become a defining factor in the struggle between those who advocate isolation versus connection and cooperation across international borders.
