Most masters degree students are over the age of 21. Also “move to Germany” isn’t really something you can just...do.

  It is. People treat moving like some sort of impossibility -- apply for a student visa and go. The quality of education you'll get there is questionable, though

    I find in STEM that's not such an issue. I mean I studied Physics at a good UK Uni but it isn't like one of the best in the world or anything. Then I did Neuroinformatics at Edinburgh which is really competitive due to their reputation in AI etc. It was fine, ultimately linear algebra etc. are the same wherever you learn it. I think in less objective and more qualitative fields the reputation of the University etc. counts a lot more.

      As someone who's taken two linear algebra courses at different schools -- it's really not. When the expected level is familiarity with basic concepts vs. being prepared for a top-tier graduate degree program, the course content becomes very different. When this is aggregated over all of your courses, then you start to get a gigantic disparity.

    Do you got a source on your quality statement? Many European universities do quite good in the rankings.

    >The quality of education you'll get there is questionable, though Why would you think this? From my experience technical universities in Europe do a lot less hand holding and a lot more practical courses than American ones do.
