4.Affordable

Are you put off by the tuition fees or living costs which come with studying in America? It’s worth doing your research to find what specific countries in Europe can offer. Many want to grow the reputation of their higher education sectors; so they will offer scholarships, bursaries and subsidised tuition fees to entice more international students to their shores. For example, you may not know that Sweden has no tuition fees to EU students!

5.Learn a new language

What better time to learn a new language than when you’re young and able to fully immerse yourself in a city where it’s spoken all the time? Knowing more than one language can really add to your CV, opening up the opportunities where you can work (and thus live) in the future. Plus once you learn one language, it can often be easier to acquire new ones over time as they often share similar patterns or vocabulary.

And if you're studying a languages course, actually learning it in the country where it is widely spoken is a while other experience which you shouldn't miss out on.

6.Career options

Many – if not all – large international businesses will have a European headquarters in addition to those whose roots are in Europe. This means you can find ample graduate opportunities, especially as businesses expand into new markets. Related to the point above, studying in Europe can really benefit you when you begin to search for that first career step. Language skills, adaptability in new locations, knowledge of different cultures and markets...these can all contribute to finding that dream job in Europe.

7. Support and friendship: Feel at home

Europe is a welcoming, friendly place for students from all around the world. Europe’s universities and colleges offer support and social activities to help you feel at home and happy. Europe is also a great place to live: 7 of the world's 10 happiest countries are here!

8. Cultural experience: Have a unique adventure

Studying in Europe is not just about lectures and libraries, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime chance to discover new countries and to discover yourself too! From the snowy north to the sun-soaked south, across Europe you will find breath-takingly beautiful landscapes, buzzing cities and vibrant cultures waiting for you.

9. Scholarships and costs: Get value for money

European countries invest in their higher education systems to help make education affordable for students, whilst maintaining high quality standards. Across Europe, tuition fees and living costs compare very well to other study destinations. In fact, in some European countries, study programmes are free of charge! There are lots of scholarships and financial support options available too.

10.Europe has history

Europe has far more history than some other continents like America which was only discovered in the 15^th century. Therefore Europe’s further-reaching origins often appeal to individuals who don’t quite have the same sense of history back home. You'll be completely taken aback by the jaw-dropping architecture and remains of yesterday. Plus, if you're a history student, these adventures may inform your studies too.

11.See a lot, close together

Europe is made up of approximately 50 countries and they all vary in terms of customs, lifestyle, language, sights etc. So you won’t run out of things to do and you don’t necessarily have to jump on a plane or move across oceans to find them. It’s relatively easy to move through Europe, especially if you are European yourself. “InterRail-ing” via train is a popular method used by both current students, those on a gap year and travellers, allowing smooth passage across borders. If you come from somewhere far away like Asia or America, make the most of being in Europe and see everything you can – you probably won’t be here forever.

12.Find love

While finding love shouldn't be the main reason you decide to study abroad, you never know what's around the corner! European cities like Paris, Vienna and Rome have acted as the backdrop for numerous love stories over time (Paris is the ‘City of Love’ after all). Whether it’s the language, the music or the easy-on-the-eye individuals, there’s definitely something about Europe which makes us want to walk hand-in-hand with that special someone down a quiet lane on a summer evening.

13. Diversity: Study the way you want

The beauty of Europe is that it offers so much choice. With world-class universities, higher education institutions and research institutes, offering 100,000s of Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s Degree and PhD/Doctoral programmes, plus short-term study opportunities, you can choose the experience that suits you.

14. Pioneering research: Be the best

Are you an ambitious researcher looking to boost your career? Europe offers you great opportunities. There were 1.58 million full time equivalent researchers in the EU-27 in 2009. Over the next decade, the European Union is actively looking to attract an additional 1 million researchers! Find out more about research jobs, funding and opportunities in Europe.

15.Quality of education

Europe boasts some of the strongest education systems in the entire world. Universitas 21 ranks the top higher education systems in the world each year. In 2014, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom all made the top 10. Meanwhile Finland, the UK, the Netherlands, Ireland and Poland all feature in the top 10 overall education systems in the world according to Pearson.

16.Continent of innovation

When you think of the word ‘innovation’, you might immediately think of Asia or America because of their strong ties to technology. However did you know that Sweden is the home of technology and software which you use every day? Skype, Spotify, Candy Crush, Minecraft and Angry Birds all come from Europe, specifically Scandinavian countries like Sweden and Finland.

 17.New friends

Making friends who live around the world is one of the great things about studying abroad, and this is no different if you choose to study in Europe. Just think, if you return to these cities for business or pleasure in the future, you’ll have old friends to see (and you might be able to save some money on a hotel if you can stay with them).

18.Lifestyle

Europe has a reputation for having a rather relaxed way of life; words like ‘loose’, ‘bohemian’ or ‘liberal’ get thrown around quite a bit. This is true to a certain extent; while some preconceptions about Europeans may be true, experiencing European life firsthand is the best way to understand this for yourself. This doesn’t mean that individuals in these countries don’t know the meaning of hard work or that the higher education systems here are lacking (the opposite in fact). Instead this relaxed attitude is evident in a wide range of circumstances and areas of European life, such as relationships, alcohol or drug consumption, work days, socialising etc.
