Good places for higher education in Europe?

[aneeshm]

I've been looking around for good places to pursue my Master's after I finish my undergraduate degree in Computer Engineering, and recently one of my friends mentioned that he was considering going to France for further study.

This piqued my curiosity, as I hadn't really considered the non-English speaking countries, because of the language barrier. He, however, told me that many universities in the continent use English as the medium of instruction.

So, to all of the forumers from Europe - what places would you recommend for graduate studies in the technical fields? Which are the good technical institutes in your country? How difficult is it for someone not knowing the language to live there? How difficult is it for a foreign student to get a scholarship and keep it? And how high are the living and food expenses?

NOT here

MIPT. The campus's a bit dilapidated, but the profs are still top notch.
You get no scholarship and have to know Russian,. though. Food and rent are also insane-ish.
But you can still get the best technical degree n Europe there.

BEst? Depends how you measure best. Not according to rankings it isn't. In fact it's almost unknown outside Russia. Doesn't mean the degree isn't very good, just means outside from few famous people who studied there once in their life... aneeshm is into CS, and in that, MIPT doesn't seem to be the best. There seems to be few very interesting programs for other type of technical degrees though, so it can't be bad, rather good. But perhaps not for CS.

edit: this was strictly CS based though. This school seems very good for physics students. So...I'm aiming at CS studies strictly. Physics seems to be their bread and butter and like a good deal if you're into that.
