As an EU citizen; I can study in Germany or the Netherlands for near zero tuition fees. I'm stuck between the two however. Later in life I would like to live in Switzerland and in Switzerland they speak predominantly a dialect of German.
The Netherlands has a 90% English fluency whilst Germany is 70%. Many courses in the Netherlands are taught in English whilst in Germany there are very few taught in English.
I'm leaning towards the Netherlands because of its low cost of living, high English fluency and exemplary universities. I can learn German on the side as well. Does /adv/ have any information that I've missed out?

What country do you come from?

Don't study in Germany. Universities in the middle east are no good.

My boyfriend studied in the Netherlands for 2 years and spent twice as much as me each month. Germany is a bit less expensive in my experience.

Netherlands has better universities and higher standard. You will probably got kicked out.
Btw, undergrad are in Dutch. Obviously.

Being Dutch myself, I can safely say that there are always undergrad degrees and/or courses in English.
Heck, almost every mid-size to big city has high school/college education in English as well.
tl;dr fuck Germany. Come to the Netherlands. We actually have humor here.

If you want to move to Switzerland later I suggest you to study in Bavaria. The dialect is pretty similar to the one in Switzerland and you have the best nature around you.
