ETH is an excellent university
Tips: This university is quite academically rigorous, and one should not join if they are only interested in application and not much in theory. Studying here, I have developed my theoretical as well as practical skills quite a lot. The courses are quite up-to-date and not easy. Overall the quality of education is very high.
Likes (Safety): There is no concern of safety in the city at any time/place. One can go and travel anywhere anytime without worrying. Public transport works quite well which adds to the sense of security. I would travel at midnight with integrity without any concern for safety.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Limited visas and preference of EU/EFTA nationals over non-EU. Jobs are available but they need to show that it's not easy to find a suitable person so that they can justify hiring a non-EU person. Other than that, it's also less friendly to English-speaking people but you can learn the language over time, it's not urgent.

4.1
ETH Zurich: The best university in continental Europe
Tips: Academically demanding. And stringent grading. Scholarship opportunities like ESOP/ETHD exist. Great public transportation in Zurich. TA-ship available as well. Great weather. Hiking spots are available in the city. Amazing options at ASVZ for exercising, yoga, etc.. Expensive city.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee is justified. The education provided is rigorous, with an exceptional faculty renowned for their expertise. The quality of teaching is generally good. The university ranks among the top 10 universities worldwide, attracting exceptional students as well.
Dislikes (Student Life): Student life here is mostly studying. Can be quite hectic. All holidays throughout the year are spent preparing for exams. Student club information is given once reached; most are handled by bachelors students, but master's students are also welcome. Not very aware of the events although I know ETH does organize them.

Msc in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology - Batch of 2021
3.8
Best University in subcontinental Europe
Tips: I think job opportunities are an important factor students should keep in mind. Switzerland is a nice place to study, especially if you like hiking. There are a bunch of scholarships but they are hard to obtain. You do get plenty of research or teaching assistant roles and they can easily find your studies. The courses are tough but they are also one of the best.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is scattered but the public transport is punctual and one of the best in the world. There are trams, buses and trains which connect most of the city and thus the door to door time does not exceed 50 minds. Additionally, the transports are quite regular. The transport is quite affordable compared to the rest of the country. Additional discounts are provided to people under 25 years old.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is difficult for non-EU students since the rules regulate that jobs be given to Swiss citizens, then EU citizens. Thereby it is generally hard for employers to get you employed even if they want. Having an ETH degree makes the process a bit easier and obviously, it depends on the job market situation.
