Title: Erasmus countries
Post by: ca0s on December 19, 2012, 05:26:10 PM

I'm planning to go for an Erasmus studentship the next year, and I would like to have some input from EZ members who are studying / will study  / have some knoweldge about CS bachelors' level on their countries (Europe).

The only limitation is the language: my destination university must offer classes in English.

My first option was Finland, but I could only validate like 1/3 of the year's amount of ECTS. And that would be like a lost year. So I discarded it.

Then I thought about Netherlands. I can validate almost all credits. But I haven't heard anything about their universities.

I have also considered the UK. I have not gathered info on this one yet.

So I have 4 options left (I have to put 6 universities in order of preference).

Any idea, suggestion, experience, etc? I would really appreciate it :)

are really similar to ours.
How is the average English level in Greece? I mean, I won't probably learn more than the basics of the language of the country that I choose.

Not speaking from experience. But UK is not the best country, it's very expensive and very crowded. My advice is Belgium

I was considering the UK because of the language. I can [more or less] write, read, and listen to English w/o problems. Speaking is harder for me tho. I need a lot of practise.

@geXXos: haha, I will think about it. I have until 15th of january to decide.
