Hi all, I am a civil engineering student who's looking to move to europe eventually after my studies, I plan to study a masters degree and stay after. I am also specialising is Structural and hydrological engineering.

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a place based on the following criteria:

- little to no car dependency and good urban planning (this really matters a lot to me).

- Cold weather, I despise the heat and like the rain and snow, I also like winter activities like skiing and snowboarding, but I also would like some sun every now and then because constant darkness would likely get depressing.

- Good urban life and night-life, with lots of stuff to do.

- direct, introverted people.

- Socially liberal.

- Ease of travel to the rest of Europe and the world.

- Good money making opportunities.

So far I really like Switzerland, it seemed like a paradise to me when I visited, but the people and rigid rules based culture are little off-putting, and its extremely hard even for EU citizens to move there.

If anyone can make any other suggestions that would be good, I'm an avid language learner and already speak upper conversational Spanish so I am more than willing to learn languages.
