    Primarily I am looking for small class size, in person interactions between undergrad and professors.

    This is something that the western European model of having no upper yearly intake limit makes really hard. Even at a masters level it’s quite hard to get a decent degree of interaction between students and professors.

      Uh that sucks. I really want to teach, and don’t want to do it in the U.S.

      I think in the U.S. libre art model, each class will have intake limit, but I am not sure if there is intake limit for class years.

        From what professors have told me, Cyprus’ universities have a similar teaching culture to the US - or at least more similar to the US than continental Europe. And it’s rare to have more than 80 students in a course, it’s usually down to 40. Maybe it’s an option for you. English is also widely used in higher education.

        I personally definitely think that I got better mentoring and opportunities to develop my research skills as a student in Cyprus than in the Netherlands and Germany.
