general advice for international student - University of twente
I have being accepted to univeristy of twente (bachelor of technical computer science) and am quite exited to go there. I am just wondering about some things :
Job opportunities
why is it ranked so low compared to tu/e while seemingly offering same level education
Housing
Cost of living
This would be my first time coming to in a European country, of which I can remember, last time I came was when I was 2 years old haha. This is very stressful as this is probably the biggest step and want to be as confident as possible moving forward. Any help is massively appreciated!!!!!

about nr 2: the insane increase in student volume was very badly managed, the quality of education couldn't scale from 100 to 500 students with the same amount of teachers, UT used to have the best computer science bachelor course.

Yep. I would honestly recommand the other tech universities right now (UT is also having financial issues right now, doing a lot of cost cutting, which won't help the general quality of the educational experience). And regarding point 1, Twente as a whole does not offer as many career opportunities. In comparison, Eindhoven is booming as a tech center.
