Okay, still dreaming about our recent trip to Milan 🤌. My own daughter is looking for European bachelor’s programs that will allow her to obtain a broad and solid foundation in business, but also intern with and access the fashion industry. What better place than Milan, Italy? Check out my recent blog post on our visit to Cattolica, one of our…[Read more]

Thrilling news to share! 👏 I have been receiving a gush of good news from the many students we work with who are pursuing degrees in Europe for this fall 2025. I’d love to give a shout out to our students who were accepted into programs on their Best Fit Lists . Woot-woot! Here’s where some of our students are en route to this fall:

More instability in the Netherlands, I’m afraid. On April 8, 2025 the Dutch Senate voted to support cutbacks to education and science by €500 million. This is just another layer of strife in this country, where education (including English-taught university programs for international students) has been navigating seismic shifts and government thr…[Read more]

  Yes — that said, this varies program by program. I’ve read about a few being ended or consolidated; other programs seem to be continuing with little impact. It’s definitely important for families to keep checking for updates on the programs they’re considering!

    Indeed, some areas are less affected, such as Engineering. But I think that the overall takeaway is that there is a considerable degree of instability and unpredictability in the Netherlands right now when it comes to higher education for international students. As an advisor, I certainly don’t want this to dissuade students from considering these…[Read more]

  This may vary country by country, but at the universities we visited in the Netherlands this spring, the answer is definitely yes — lots of American students told us they had part-time jobs.

  Both of our boys work in different Dutch cities and our daughter makes great cash money for dog walking and babysitting. For the boys, the key was if you want to work and you make over a certain amount you need Dutch health insurance or you get a huge fine. Some jobs you must speak Dutch but they have both worked successfully for almost 2 years…[Read more]

Big news out of D.C.—Trump just signed an executive order to start dismantling the U.S. Department of Education. While it’s still unclear how far this will go (Congress would have to approve a full shutdown), it could impact everything from student loans to how U.S. diplomas are recognized abroad.

We wrote a quick breakdown of what this could mea…[Read more]

One of the regular questions I get as an advisor over here at BTS is, unsurprisingly, around financial aid for US students in Europe. Yes, there are quite a number of schools in the EU that have a federal ID number, and work with FAFSA. (You can apply this filter in our database.) But this might mean that they accept federal loans, and/or accept…[Read more]
