Where should I study? by Chancer on 03-01-2008 at 01:45 PM
People, I'm studying electric engineering (emphasis on electronic systems) here in Brazil, and in 2 or 3 years, if I have good grades, I'll be able to study part of the course in Europe. The best part is that I receive both diplomas 
The best choices I've watching are France and Germany.
Buuuut, I speak none of these languages. So, as some of you live in Europe, I guess you could gimme some advice to make my choice and start my lang course.
Some options:
École Polytechnique (France)
Technische Universität Darmstadt (Germany)
And also Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino (both Italian)
IMO, the French and German would give me a better formation.
On the other hand, it'd be easier to learn Italian, because it's a Latin language (hint: so is Portuguese 
).
Of course I'll talk to my teachers, but your personal experience may be valuable.

I believe it would be better to go to Germany because they are by far the most evolutionary country in Europe. But as I know , French is an easier language than German. Although, French are known for their xenophobia. I don't think Italy would be a good choice. Final suggestion: Germany

Chancer : In France, l'Ecole Polytechnique is THE most prestigious engineering school, and by far. I don't know about the German & Italian universities you name, so I won't tell you Polytechnique is teh way to go, but I still think it's a real opportunity.

Would you have to do premilitary training if you went to the French one?

Why not an English speaking country, you appear to write it extremely well.

I would go for the german one.... but remember, make the choice yourself, and get informed ... you don't want to base a decision based on someone's xenophobia...

I say france, most of the words sound like the English. IMO.

But if I don't get grades good enough, I'd plan going to another country anyway, even speaking English, such as Canada, Australia or New Zealand.

a friend of mine studies in australia, and claims that the uni she's in is sorta outdated... she's studying electric engineer i think

I think German is easier than French.
And I'd say go to France.
