I'm stuck between these two countries. Both are very beautiful countries. I have visited these countries before. I want the engineering department. My English level is not very good. Which country do you think is more developed in education?
Hmm that's a tough choice! Both Sweden and the Netherlands seem like great options for university. Here are a few things to consider:
- Education quality - I've heard the universities are top notch in both countries for engineering. They tend to rank high globally. Can't go wrong either place.
- Language - Since your English isn't super strong yet, Sweden may be slightly easier initially since most Swedes speak great English. In the Netherlands you'll probably need more Dutch.
- Cost of living - From what I've heard, things tend to be a bit cheaper day-to-day in Sweden compared to the Netherlands. Smaller difference, but could add up over 4+ years.
- Culture/lifestyle - Both are quite progressive and cool in their own way. Sweden is known for being very safe, clean and organized. Netherlands has a bit more of a lively, artsy vibe in the bigger cities.
- Making friends - Maybe consider which location you think you'd connect best socially since support systems are important.
Honestly both seem like amazing choices and you really can't go wrong. I'd factor in which place you felt most at home during your visits if possible. Really follow your gut and where you picture having the best experience! You'll rock it either way.
