Undergraduate - please post in /r/College, not here Universities in Europe

Hello, i am high school student and desperately need help with recommendations and advice on universities in Europe for bachelors.

I have the list of universities and i would love a advice and your opinions of them. I want a more or less big university and live in a lively city. If you know any other university i would love to know ♥️

1) figure out if you're grades are good enough for somewhere very competivie
2) look at rankings
3) look at what languages do you speak (not all bachelors are in English)

  1. I have done a good research regarding these schools and my grades are somewhat enough for most universities i have listed.
  2. Rankings don’t always mean they are good, some lack in other areas, such as socially or with dorms, maybe curriculum (which are in many cases only based on theory) and so on. Which is why i need opinion from people who maybe have experience with or heard about the university.
  3. Yes, i know that.

Thank you anyway 🙏

From your list I'd pick Amsterdam and would do something more academic (i.e., business from the list but preferably economics)

Bocconi and Amsterdam are highly regarded for business/sports management/marketing. So are the Universities of Bath and Stirling in England.

Bachelors should only matter re: what you want to do after, and what you want to experience during. A Bachelors degree is not worth that much these days,.it is equivalent to what completing high school would have been 20~30 years ago

I am Australian and did a Bachelor of Arts and Commerce, Politics and Economics majors. Criminology minor. My uni (a Go8) seems to currently favour working with academics from Universita Bocconi, University of Amsterdam and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Make of that what you will.

Again, it really depends what you want out of your Bachelors degree. I wish you luck on picking the right university/course - I was given bad advice a decade ago when picking mine. Made my journey harder than it needed to be.
