I would like to combine my desires to return to school and to travel by attending a university abroad (with respect to the United States). I would be pursuing a master's degree in computer science, supposedly in Europe though I'm open to suggestion. This raises some questions which I put to you nice net-folk: - Can you recomend any foreign universities strong in computer science? How about the 5 or 10 "best" European computer science dept's? - How should I approach the language issue? I speak only English fluently (unfortunatly no French or German - high school Spanish) but am certainly not afraid of a new language; culture-shock is the whole idea here! Must I consider only English speaking universities or can I find multi- lingual schools in countries where the primarly language is not English? Would such a multi-lingual school have English lectures or references? - Have any of you done what I am proposing? What can I learn from your experience? - There are jillions of guides to American universities such as Barrons, etc.. Do know of similar references to foreign schools? Other sources? - Are there considerations or criteria which I have overlooked? Thanks for your potential help. Cristopher Merritt MegaTest Corp.
