Universities in Europe
A lot of higher education is about getting some life experience – getting live away from home, to learn things you never knew about but were always interested in, and to meet new people and forge the strongest of friendships. It’s a lot of money, but it’s these kinds of experiences that make university priceless.
However universities aren’t exclusive to America, and there are plenty of European universities that can offer all this too. If you consider pursuing a higher education at Universities in Europe then this will mean that you also get to experience a whole new way of life, to meet people from a different culture, and to explore a new area. There is no life experience quite like living abroad, and going to Universities in Europe allows you to do this and to get an education that will be universally recognized at the same time. There are some truly prestigious universities in Europe and any of them will help you to land the career of your dreams while becoming a more well rounded individual.
There are some differences however been universities in Europe and those in the US. For instance European universities do not require students to take general education subjects as a rule, and rather they will stick to the subject they major in (though another difference is that students from universities in Europe do not use the word ‘major’). However European universities as a rule also have a less flexible curriculum.
For those who want an American education but in Europe there are some American universities situated actually in Europe. These include: Webster University Vienna in Austrai, Boston University Brussels in Belgium, American University in Paris in France, Jacobs University Bremen in Germany, American College Dublin in Ireland, American Intercontinental University in the UK and many more.
However if you want to study at authentic universities in Europe, or if you just want to look around them (universities such as Oxford can be highly beautiful to explore) then there are many, many more options. According to the Times Higher Education University Rankings (2010) the top ten universities in Europe are: The University of Cambridge in the UK, University of Oxford in the UK, Imperial College London in the UK, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich in Switzerland, University College London in the UK, Ecole Polytechnique in France, University of Edinburgh in the UK, Ecole Normale Superieure Paris in France, University of Göttingen in Germany, Karolinska Institute in Sweden and École Polytechnique Federale of Lausanne in Switzerland.

I do not know what to choose between universities in Europe or those in US. What do you recommend me? Is there a major difference between universities in Europe and those in US? In one year I will graduate high school and I must strongly think about this. Any advice would be great.
I would love to study at authentic universities in Europe. This is my dream. I really want to move to Europe. This is my biggest wish…to study at one of the universities in Europe. Do you think this is hard? I think that if you want something badly you will succeed.
My son is in his last year of high school. What universities in Europe do you recommend him? I must read carefully about all universities in Europe. I want the best for him. Can you help me?
To study at some of the most respectable universities in Europe is very hard. I know it from my own experience. If you want to study at universities in Europe like Oxford you have to be very good prepared. So those who are thinking of this be very careful. It is not easy at all.
I had no idea that there are American universities in Europe. This is interesting to know. I’m from America but I do not think I would like my kids to go to universities in Europe. I will advice them to stay here. This is much better than going abroad for studies.
I will take a look on almost all universities in Europe. I want to find out more. I do not know many things about them. I only know about Oxford. I know that this is one of the most important universities in Europe.
I have studied in 4 European countries (Turkey, Athens, the Netherlands and currently Germany). There are huge differences in levels of education and social life. Of these countries I would choose the Netherlands for both (international) social life & education level. However, the other countries might be more interesting. If you are rich, intelligent and motivated enough, go to the UK. If you just want a fine European university with low tuition fees, you can pick almost any university in North-Western Europe without worries. Also decide for yourself if you want to learn a new language or not. People in North-Europe speak perfectly English and you will therefore be less motivated to learn the local language.
