Good university, and way better than 90% of what the American HE market has to offer. Unless, of course, you value the electives system a lot.

She wants to do Aerospace, and Purdue is pretty good there (4th in the US) and we are Indiana residents - and it would still cost $40,000 plus room and board. Tuition at TU München is 500 Euros a semester and you finish a degree in three years instead of four (because they don't have to spend a year at the outset on remedial courses). Student residences are subsidized, student meals are subsidized instead of being private buffets - I mean, financially it's a no-brainer. She'll get a comparable education and we can take the same money and buy her a house when she's done.

Plus my wife is Hungarian and has been wanting to go back to Budapest for a while now. So ... it's time.
