Jordy Stokhof de Jong replied to George Surovov's discussion 'Considering a graduate program at University of Copenhagen & seeking advice.'"I agree with George.

But outside the NL there are definitely interesting approaches in landscape architecture.…"
ALEX P replied to George Surovov's discussion 'Considering a graduate program at University of Copenhagen & seeking advice.'"True. I studied in amsterdam and tried to get a job. to my dismay the work visa was going to cost more than my pay checks, and they would not hire americans due to the extra cost."

ALEX P replied to George Surovov's discussion 'Considering a graduate program at University of Copenhagen & seeking advice.'"I think that, if your into it, Dutch Design, far exceeds other european design. If you are into that uber sleek hyper minimalism (which was sooo 2006) then yes, go some where other than the NL. If you enjoy intellectual design that is…"
