Yeah you’re certainly right with that. My comments regarding research in Germany were a bit blunt I’m well aware of this.
However you’re right that there are certain areas I’m interested in (can’t decide which topic to pursue career-wise but that’s the purpose of the undergrad studies) and will look/have already looked which universities perform research in these areas/niches. There are some lower ranked schools that perform this research, which I haven’t included in my list yet.
So in general thanks for your feedback y’all! I think I have something to work on and as mentioned often enough I’ll just give it a shot and otherwise there are still great backup options in Europe
