I would have to guess that the best value is Germany. Darmstadt is a lovely little fun, hip town and they have a reputable engineering school at TU: https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/abschluesse/bachelor/etit-elektrotechnik-informationstechnik-bsc.en.jsp https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/abschluesse/bachelor/e... There is a lot of scholarship money to fund your living expenses here: https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/international/home/funding/index.en.jsp https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/international/home/funding/index... But the actual costs are very low. A few hundred dollars a semester. I can't find the one for EE bachelors but here are some ballpark figures for comparative programs: https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/beratung_hilfe/details_4_45376.en.jsp https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/beratung_hilfe/details... https://www.trophee.tu-darmstadt.de/course/coursefees/index.en.jsp https://www.trophee.tu-darmstadt.de/course/coursefees/index....

I spent a few months in Darmstadt. Agree about all the positives you mentioned. One negative I want to add is that relatively few people speak English.

  I did the same thing -- a summer in grad school doing research -- but I did think it was a great opportunity to learn German.

    Yep, iirc I was not officially "registered" with the uni, but they still opened up free basic german classes if I was interested.

      Interesting. On what status (i.e. type of visa) did you go to Germany?
      - praneshp 8y ago
        Sorry, I don't remember anymore. It was a scholarship called WISE, but I'm unsure what type of work permit I got, etc. If I can hunt down my old passport I'll check

Do you happen to know what is their approach towards people with a full-time job?
