zoom1 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Which one would you rather for summer internship in the robotic subject. I'm kind of on the fence. Both universities' rankings are quite good. Just wondering what your decision would be and why
St Andrews Lynx Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 I think that the name of ETH is better known internationally than TU Delft, so having it on your CV might be more helpful. I can't speak for either of their programs, however.
Isi Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 ETH is a great school and definitely better ranked than Delft :-) so, go there! beside that, Zurich is a great city, however quite expensive
Usmivka Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 ETH Zurich is known in the US. TU Delft is not. If that makes any difference to you.
toothlesshamster Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 Rankings are useful in terms of international reputation and name recognition - if you care about that, ETH-Z is probably the better choice. However, the specific work you'd be doing will naturally be different, and could be better at Delft - which one interests you more? Apart from that, Switzerland and the Netherlands are very different countries, and you should research the two to see which one fits you better (you won't be working 24/7 after all). Switzerland is good for the outdoors - hiking, etc, but is a bit boring in terms of urban living, unless you are rich and 50 years old. The Netherlands seem to me to be a much friendlier place for young people. I don't know as much about the Netherlands though - I've lived in Switzerland, and only visited the Netherlands.
