That is not a very good way of selecting a graduate program.</p>
<p>Graduate school is all about finding programs that are the perfect academic fit for you - all of the factors like size, location, and weather that people use for selecting undergraduate programs should be of very minimal concern. </p>
<p>Most universities have their strongest faculty at their home campuses, and satellite campuses rarely have more than a handful of programs. The Hopkins campus in China, for example, offers only a MA in international relations/studies, while the Chicago campus in Singapore focuses on business.</p>
<p>If you want a solid graduate program while still studying abroad, consider these options:
[ul][<em>]A MA or PhD at a decent Asian university (NUS, HKU, plenty more)
[</em>]A MA or PhD at an American university while studying abroad as much as possible. Graduate programs usually fund summer study, and Fulbrights are available for year-long study[/ul]</p>
