Hi again everyone!
There is one more query which I would like to raise. If I choose academics as a career in Australia/Asia/Middle East etc then which degree will be valued more in these places, an American PhD or a European PhD?

Thanks :)

Thanks everyone for your views :)
There is no doubt that TU/e is one of the finest universities in Europe plus a collaboration with Holst center is making things even better.
But the point of my confusion is rightly highlighted by KimWipes. The presence of Micron Technology is making me to think about BSU. Moreover my supervisor has good connections in Micron. So its getting really difficult for me choose between the two.

@ janjansen : There is no preference for any particular country, be it US or NL, doesn't matter much. Yes I will be hired as an employee in TU/e. The PhD will be of 4 years. Could you please let me know how difficult is it for a non EU citizen to get job in Eindhoven in microelectronics field(I have heard that you need to know Dutch to get a job)?

@ KimWipes :Its really nice that I found someone who has knowledge about Boise and Micron :p. If I get a degree from Boise, will people in US (or silicon valley) recognize where is this university located ? I understand that its an average university, but is it that its an unheard name in US (precisely Microelectronics Industry in US)? I am going to join a group of prof there, who is doing some pioneering work in memristors. As far as weather and living style is concerned, that doesn't matter to me. I have heard that crime rate is lesser in Boise, is it so?

Hi,
I have got admit in PhD program from Boise State University ,USA. The topic of research is aligned to my interest.
I have got another offer to pursue PhD from TU/e (Eindhoven University of Technology), Netherlands which will be carried out at Holst Center, NL. Here also the topic is aligned to my research interest. Its related to Microelectronics.
At this point I am a bit confused as whether to join Eindhoven or BSU. I am sure there is someone with good experience in these things that can help me.

Thanks
