I've been looking around the forum and I think there's nothing about this topic...

Well,let's talk about the countries and universities with a great ratio and a high percentaje of being a pushy paradise

Also to point out,if you didn't know,study in the university in Denmark,Sweden and Finland is free for EU citizens..

Why also include Eastern Europe? The cost of living is cheaper and there are lot of universities whose studies are in english and are increasing the offer of classes in that language.

I've only found info about Sweden and Denmark:

http://www.studyinsweden.se/

http://www.apply.aau.dk/how-to-apply-pos...uirements/

This can be a very interesting post.For those who know something about how the system work and how to apply for studies in these Scandinavian countries and Eastern Europe,please share and coment

I think you can join the Erasmus program if you're an EU citizen: http://ec.europa.eu/education/erasmus/study_en.htm E.

Goes for all EU students, not just Scandinavia. Btw, I think non-euros now have to pay tuition in Denmark because so many people took advantage of it (who would have guessed), so there were a lot of chinese who went and studied for free and never became part of the university life like you're supposed to.

But I'd recommend doing an exchange program for sure. It's a great time and great way to meet people.

Its too late for me to join the erasmus program(finishing university already)

do you know something about what kind of masters can I do?

I believe the Masters program in Sweden was free until two years ago.

The cost of living in those countries is very high, so be forewarned.

Nope, to join a master you generally need a very specific set of courses completed. You can't just join an unrelated masters. You can study as a non-degree student though and pay your way pr. course which is something like $400 pr. course pr. semester. What is your bachelor degree in?

I did some more study on this and found out that 100% completely free are only programs that are in Estonian but for everyone who can speak it.

There are also free master studies in English, more information can be found here: http://www.ttu.ee/studying/masters/tuiti...ters-fees/

TTU is a good school if your interested in technology.

In Nordic countries it's free for euro citizens.
However tuition for non European are very high, almost like american universities. This is to prevent people to take advantage of the system and also to "make sure that the knowledge stays in Europe".

I've studied in Stockholm,Sweden. I highly recommend it, however there's a high cost of living, if you manage to get a university room it will be at least 800€~~8000sek per month, but it is a great place to live. (10/10 would return)
Beware of the housing market. It's very hard to find accommodation. I believe that the enrollment finishes 14 january each year, so make haste and join the housing line asap.

In Portugal, there are lots of masters in English, mostly for economics management and finances, but they are paid. However the cost of living in Portugal is cheaper than in Nordic Countries. And the weather is also better.

I believe that Poland also has some masters in English, also in the economics field, but as much as I love polish women, I don't think I would go there for a masters degree.

Make your choices based on quality of education and possibility of networking, not on pussy.

I was living in a place called "Lappis", a student accommodation area. It was far away from the center and 10 minutes from a metro line (4-5 stops to the central station). Not the best logistics, but keep in mind that an apartment in the center is very very expensive, and not suitable for a student budget. And have i mentioned that it's hard to get a flat/room in stockholm?
There were parties there once in a while, but they were loaded with dudes and gay guys.

I had a room, in a "corridor". It's kind of a shared flat, but you actually only share a kitchen and a small room attached to the kitchen.
There where, if I recall correctly, 14 rooms in total and we were 16. Of course the kitchen was a fucking mess, no matter how well you would clean it.
