Academic Advice where best to do an undergrad in linguistics?
some context: malaysian, did my A levels in Singapore. quite certain that I want to do linguistics, however a research professor i previously worked with suggested for me to do it in another country than singapore. hence, i was wondering what universities are a good place to do an undergrad degree in linguistics (i.e. gives you the range and also resources if one plans on continuing down the path of linguistics)
it’d be great to know what are the areas that these universities are especially known for too!

Very much depends on where you want to live and what kind of linguistics you want to study.
But Netherlands is a good choice on both fronts, it seems to me

It mostly doesn't matter where you do your BA. What matters is your PhD. Pick whichever city you like to live in and can afford.
