<p>Which European universities are the best for international students in the U.S.? Like not so expensive compared to how much it would cost to go to a top school here int he states, have a good amount of int. diversity, are welcoming, etc?? I have family in Italy and Spain.. so any schools there and in England would be best. Suggestions?</p>
<p>... and are not impossible to get into.</p>
<p>Honestly, I'm not sure where you'll find statistics like you would for American or Canadian universities, for European ones. But I did have a friend that studied at La Universidad de Sevilla (University of Seville) in Spain and he said that he loved it.</p>
<p>Please keep this thread updated if you find out any info though, because I'm interested too.</p>
<p>Our son went to the International University of Monaco. It is very small -- about 300 undergrads plus about 100 MBA students. The only major offered is business, but they do offer/require other classes in European history, etc. Over 45 nationalities were represented -- it is truly international, but all classes are in English. Our son had a fantastic experience, but decided after a year that he wanted a larger university and ended up changing majors. MOst of the U.S. colleges he applied to for transfer accepted his IUM credits, but not all.</p>
<p>How difficult was admission supportivemom1, and how did the tuition compare to American universities, if you don't mind me asking?</p>
<p>Our son had about a 3.2 unweighted GPA, but had graduated from a high school in Australia, which may have made him more attractive to IUM. But I think generally a GPA in that range was OK with them. The website lists tuition at about 9,000 euros/year, but as I recall, ti was more than that. His living expenses (sharing an apartment just over the Monaco border, in France (1 mile from the school) were about $1,3000/month or more. To find out more, their website is: International</a> University of Monaco, an accredited business school in Europe.</p>
<p>bump.. hows the american university of rome? or the university of barcelona? or the university of florence?</p>
<p>I like this thread, only I want to hear about French universities. I don't mean to steal the thread... just, if you know of any French universities, don't hesitate to mention those too. :)</p>
<p>Anyone have a list of universities abroad that teach classes in English?</p>
<p>OP:
Fo schools in the UK that are not impossible to get into and have a fair amount of international diversity, you might consider the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.</p>
<p>To walt99, although it's restating the obvious, the universities teach their students in their native tongues, and if they are in an English-speaking country, they teach in English and if they are not, they don't....it's not like some tony private school for American teenagers in Switzerland. These are universities...what you are asking is as if you were seeking some university in the United States that conducted all its classes in German or French. That does not exist here, and it does not exist there, except in courses designated for junior years abroad, etc.</p>
<p>Anybody know anything about the University of Athens in Greece?</p>

<p>False.</p>
<p>Walt99: I don't know all of them, as there are quite a few teaching in English at the undergraduate level. At postgrad level (MSc, Ph.d) there are loads -- far too many to list. Below I've listed a few undergrad ones that have at least one full undergraduate program offered entirely in English:</p>
<p>Jacobs University
University of Amsterdam
University College Utrecht
Erasmus University
Vrije Universiteit
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Stockholm School of Economics
American University in Paris</p>
<p>Anyway, feel free to add to the list. Going to Europe for my undergraduate education was probably one of the best decisions I ever made.</p>
<p>Redcrimblue, although I appreciate your help, I have to agree with nauru. I've found several universities that teach classes specifically for American/English students, and there are campuses of American universities abroad that teach classes in English. I know that they DO exist, I was just looking for opinions/suggestions from other members. Besides, in European countries, most students are bi (or tri) lingual, and many speak English.</p>
<p>The English language programs aren't designed for Americans or Brits specifically. They are designed to be accessible to the whole world, since English is essentially the international language. Some of these programs hardly have any Americans in them, which is all the better; the students truly come from all over: I don't mean China, India, Germany, UK, USA, etc (boring) but rather, Jordan, Aruba, Mongolia, Madagascar, Moldova etc. Anyway, it wouldn't be much of a cultural experience if you just hung around with your own countrymen most of the time now would it.</p>
