alright so here's the thing:
I'm studying international business and management in Arnhem, Holland and during my third year I am going to have to spend half a year of studying at a university abroad and spend the other half on a placement, also abroad but in a different country than the first half year.
And although I'm sure there's going to be loads of information and help from school when we're supposed to start thinking of where to go, I am bored right now and so I am offering all of you the chance to have an Enemy Territory legend come to the same school you are on!
So if you have studied / are studying something economics / management / business related somewhere around europe and you think your school is the place to be, tell me all about it!
so let's hear it! =D
oh, I've sort of already decided on my placement location, which will probably be in London the second half year, hopefully at McKinsey, which sort of rules out the UK for my study abroad ^^
edit: thanks to everyone who posted a serious comment btw! had some nice input i think! :) shame i cant share this with anyone from my school lol :D

also, you seem to have missed the whole point of this journal which is getting away from holland
so stop trying to be clever
=D
The ICA is the (former but still used) name of the ICT department at the han; http://www.han.nl/gebied/informatica-media-communicatie/
and i walk through ur building almost every day because i tend to get off the bus at presikhaaf and walk through ICA/architecture building over the bridge to faculty economy >_<
actually i would give everything you can see on my profile pic!
that one? do u know anyone who went there?
also, it might be best for me to study at a 'german' (language wise) university as it's my second language at school right now... it might need some getting used to trying to understand a swiss (hm? :P) speak german
For all things UK uni's read this; http://extras.timesonline.co.uk/gug/gooduniversityguide.php
BA Stuttgart and BA Mannheim
As much as I heard the BA Mannheim is one of the best economy schools here.
I'm planning to study international business too, so I would really appreciate it, if you could tell me about the experiences you made so far. Is it any good and worth studying?
Edit: additonal HS Pforzheim
the study itself has so far really appealed to me and it really is exactly as i was hoping it to be... if you really find this sort of thing interesting and you like speaking different languages it's absolutely a good pick... on my school there's loads of different nationalities walking around. currently i'm working on what is called an OPL project in a 6-headed group and there's a girl from brazil, a girl from germany, a girl from canada,a girl from china and a guy from indonesia in my group. Personally i find this absolutely fantastic and exciting :P i enjoy going to school each day right now very much unlike my highschool period
i was actually considering a school in Vienna for study abroad too... perhaps stuttgart might be good too though =)
Yeah Stuttgart is a great city, I'm living here and I really can't tell anything bad about it. I'm sorry I can't tell you about that school, since I'm still in higschool.
(jK ^^)
is that actually a study? trade management asia? :O) never heard of hehe
well i can only encourage u for as far as ibms is concerned =P only downside i can think of is the fact that most of our lecturers have an awful dutch accent =(
some do speak proper english but at current i have three of my courses being given by a lecturer with an obviously small vocabulary and lack of proper accent :P. As a matter of fact my english course lecturer actually expressed his annoyance with his colleagues' english just this friday :P
it doesnt really bother me as much as some others because my english is good enough to be able to understand what they're trying to say (although it doesnt feel right to be correcting those who are supposed to teach me all the time:D) but i can imagine how hard this might be for foreign students who are having a hard time with english themselfs

and no, you don't offend me at all, I really wouldn't come to Finland either for working purposes atleast as the finnish tax system takes care that you can't really earn that much money. for studying purposes Finland should have the best quality of studies tho
are u going to study at Helsinki School of Economics btw?
it does seem like a nice place to study btw :) http://www.strath.ac.uk/about/
