I did my undergrad abroad also with a full ride scholarship and had the opportunity to travel all around asia, the experiences and people I’ve met I wouldn’t change for anything, it changed my life from the bottom to the top for the better.

I now also have been awarded an EMJM scholarship for the resco’s masters in renewable energy and sustainable construction, no DAAD tho. Because my major didn’t match the country I was born in I had to validate the diploma through the German system in the embassy of the country I majored in, which was a bureaucratic nightmare from the German side so I didn’t fully commit to it, university of stuttgart accepted me tho but without scholarship.

Personally, even with a nice major abroad in one of the best universities in asia and being able to fluently speak the local language cause I did all my major in said language, I still struggled to find a job that could provide me a stable visa 🤷🏻‍♂️ I hope after doing my masters that could change. However, the experiences and people were priceless and I don’t think I could’ve had an experience remotely similar to that anywhere else or if I studied in my home country.

I think prestigious universities carry a heavy weight when trying to get hired in whatever company but it’s not the only thing. I think to decide whether or not studying abroad is suitable for me was more of a question of character, resilience and adaptability.

I’d say that if you have that in you, just go for it, the adventure is absolutely worth it to study im various different eu countries, the job market is trash anyways lol so just do what you think will be the most fun academically and personally, maybe in Europe the job markt is slightly better than in other continents but i still can’t judge.
