All the responses have been great so far, thanks guys. Since I'll be graduating from my university in 2 months I want to go see the world. I have always wanted to live in Europe. Like I previously stated, I have done quite a bit a of research, but many of you live in these countires and obviously know more than I could ever hope to find out on the internet here in the states. Many of these countries seem really cool to go to, but there are some things that make me lean towards certian countries more than others, and this is just from what I've heard so I don't want to come across as a clueless American.

Here are some problems I've encountered:
1. Like I said earlier, when it comes to going to college (however I may come to Europe just to work instead so it would nullify this "problem"), they say (non-English speaking universities) that they supposedly teach postgraduate classes in English, but I need to be fluent in the country's language to get into the university. Well, that rules out a lot of colleges in Europe

2. Naturally there are languare barriers even if I don't go to university, although I will want to learn the language of the place I go to, but it isn't as problematic as being taught college courses in the foreign language.

3. From what I have read it is extremely difficult to get a good job (or to get decent work for that matter) as a foreigner, and I have heard it is most difficult in western and northern European countries.

4. Some of the countries that appeal to me the most I have read that they are quite expensive, although I live in a nice city here in the US, so I'm not sure how comparable it is. Some of the countries that are expensive that I'm talking about are Switzerland, Germany, England, and Scotland.

5. I don't want this to come off wrong........but I don't really want to live in a poor country either. And while I'm on the topic, I prefer a place that's somewhat safe too. I realize that every place has crime, I have read that some countries are not very safe.

Like I said I have not been to Europe so I don't mean to generalize anyone's country.
