HaHa It depends what you are looking for. None of the schools in Germany or Italy will offer much in the way of housing or benefits so don't look there unless you have virtually no debt, student loans, bills back in the US.

None of the schools in Germany or Italy will offer much in the way of housing or benefits so don't look there unless you have virtually no debt, student loans, bills back in the US.

There are decent to very good schools in Munich (MIS), Frankfurt (FIS) and Dusseldorf (and probably a few others). Living is good but expensive and taxes are higher than you are likely used to.

In Italy there a few schools worth pursuing (Rome- AOS, Florence and Milan) but most have a mixed reputation. Worth it for a few years if you are desperate to live in Italy but also realize that you won't have much discretionary income.

When we interviewed with the top school in Munich a few years back they basically told us we would be breaking even (at best) with the taxes on tuition credits for our children.

We passed.

Ha HA I haven't looked at it lately but over 40% last time we looked at Germany. Maybe lower in Italy but then again the salary will also be lower.

If you are serious about it, invest in Search Associates and get access to their database where 1000's of schools register and have savings potential, benefits, size and make up of school/students/s...See MoreI haven't looked at it lately but over 40% last time we looked at Germany.

If you are serious about it, invest in Search Associates and get access to their database where 1000's of schools register and have savings potential, benefits, size and make up of school/students/staff etc as part of their school's information folder.
