Hi everyone,

If I recall, there are some posters here who are parents of kids that have spent time abroad studying on various exchange programs. Does anyone here have any thoughts to chime in on the following institutions - their general vibes and level and setting etc.

Conservatorium van Amsterdam
Hochschule für Musik, Köln (Cologne)
Hanns Eisler Hochschule für Musik, Berlin
Universität Mozarteum, Salzburg
Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester

If anybody here has been to Cologne or Salzburg, how did you find the amount of English spoken there? As well as the general racial demographics of the city?

I’m currently in my third year of undergrad studies in composition, and has started to investigate the Grad school scene.
