The Telegraph: All of a sudden, we Brits are taking an interest in universities that are neither Russell Group nor red-brick, but positively Continental. It’s something that would have been unthinkable 20 or 30 years ago, but increasing numbers of young people – both undergraduates and postgraduates – are now travelling for their higher education to mainland Europe.
Not only do easyJet-type air fares work out cheaper than UK rail fares (London to Manchester is currently £296 return), so does the education itself. Instead of paying £9,000 a year in fees to a second-rate British college on the edge of a ring road, you attend a well-respected, centuries-old academic institution in an attractive city for nothing.
And not only is the teaching free of charge, it’s often conducted in the lingua franca of the modern world, i.e. English. Which is something you might expect in Holland, but it’s now becoming common in a whole range of European countries, including Germany.

Good news for students. I had seen Universities in France and schools in Germany. They were spacious, excellent, gardens etc. Specially good living accommodation with free education and good food, it had great charm. Except for the language barrier there was nothing wrong.
If teaching in Germany and Holland is in English then let all go to continental Europe.
I have to mention that English language had taken lead over other languages, German,French and Spanish. Those countries could not beat the British in wars in the past. Now by peaceful means of free education, the languages of the continent may progress (survive) in world affairs.
