Hi CC,
I’ve been accepted to KU Leuven and am very optimistic on my TU Munich application. Assuming I get in, which one would be the best for my field, financial and actuarial mathematics? Both seem like fantastic, even world-class universities, but beyond that I need to consider other factors. Relevant research, ability to get a job as a student, possibilities of studying abroad, campus and city atmospheres, teaching, support to get a job after graduation both from the university and the country (I know Germany offers an 18-month job seeker visa which is immensely helpful for a non-EEA student like me) and other things.
When I consider all of these I’m pretty split on both universities, as each one gets more or less an equal number of points. What are your thoughts on this, and which would you advise me to pick?
