Title. I am 23 years old. Graduated a year ago and already working and making good money working remotely. I would love to move to the US. It's been my dream since 19 ever since I started getting client work from America. I even had an offer for a visa sponsorship from my current company that I had to decline, it's very difficult to immigrate because of so many restrictions, paper work etc. I missed out of the American undergrad experience but I was wondering if it's possible to have that kind of experience in a master's degree.

I am planning to get masters and eventually a PhD after a few years of experience and I want to get a degree from a big name top 5 uni in the US. I will apply for a merit basedscholarship. I don't have a heavy academic background but I think I have enough production experience for them to consider it but either way. I have the funds for self funded masters too.

And by American Uni life I don't mean just the degeneracy or party going culture but what is the actual student experience like for masters students. Social life, campus culture, making friends, networking etc.

ETH Zurich is also Amazing why don't you try for that. Go for PhD in America after Trump is replaced because he has dementia changing Visa laws every second

Indeed American schools are very welcoming

Yes but your classmates are gonna be older or also likely foreign and obv more dense in terms of coursework

if you push hard enough to make it happen you can leave with something but you'll likely remember it as a fleeting moments of your life in a few years

studying in europe mogs america for sure. especially a beautiful place like switzerland. and you can visit other euro countries.
 
I think itโ€™s certainly possible to have the college experience. People getting masters degrees still want friends and like have a social life. Although Iโ€™d expect you will be closest with the people in your research department. But from what Iโ€™ve seen those cohorts get pretty close
