<p>For some European universities (ex U of Amsterdam) the tuition for EU students is lower than for international students. Does this mean you just need an EU citizenship, or do you need to live there? I have a German citizenship (from my dad) but I live in the US. Would this still qualify me for the cheaper tuition?</p>
<p>You generally need residence as well. For instance, in the UK to get domestic/EU rates, you need to have been living in the EU for the three years preceding the course. However, specifics may vary between countries; I don’t know about the Netherlands.</p>
<p>It depends on the country. Most importantly, how fluent are you in European languages (German, I suppose - any other?) Switzerland would not be too expensive but charges tuition, Germany would be free tuition, France would be free tuition (if you speak French), the UK requires residency…</p>
<p>I was thinking of U Amsterdam, and the Netherlands is generally English-friendly. The university itself has many full undergrad programs taught entirely in English. So is this dependent on the country or the individual university?</p>
<p>For UvA and other Dutch universities, you have to be an EU/EEA resident to qualify for the lower tuition rate. This is analogous to residency requirements for in-state tuition to US public universities.</p>
<p>Makes sense. Thank you! Even so, UvA non-resident tuition is STILL cheaper than US public uni resident tuition, crazily enough.</p>
