Younger son has applied for his first European university! A 2021 grad, he’s taking a gap year this year like is older brother who is at AAU in Prague. Next up? My husband and I start applying for graduate programs! We’re getting our documents through the apostille process to begin 2023 applications this fall. I’d say Beyond the States has been a life changer for our family! (Photo from Prague, 2021)
She’s Off to Rotterdam Thanks to BTS! She’s doing the MISOC program at EUR. She’s very excited. She’ll do 2 days of the pre academic program, then Eurekaweek. The following week we will join her and help her set up her apartment and do all of the registering and signing up for things. There’s a week of orientation for her faculty and then classes start. I was surprised by how many orientation opportunities there are. I think that’s more unusual at European schools.
And we’re off ✈️ Heading to NL to start a whole new life adventure. Thank you 🙏 BTS and everyone in this group for providing support and guidance throughout this process.🥳
It’s official! Thanks to Beyond the States my son is successfully at Utrecht University and participating in orientation this week. He will be living directly on campus in the Science Park and he’s over the moon happy and excited!
Left my ❤️ in Europe this morning. He’s all settled in, been through orientation, starts class tomorrow. made a few friends already, and has even learned to navigate around town on his bike like a proper Dutchie. HaHa. We cannot thank you enough Jenn Viemont and the many friends here in the BTS community. What an experience these kids are getting! Now to figure out my next chapter….which will surely involve racking up the SkyMiles! 😘❤️
We finally got to meet our Beyond the States Besties!!! Kathryn Tunstall has been my BTS BFF ever since we connected over our daughters applying to the same school in Barcelona. I cannot express enough how much more difficult & frustrating this whole process would have been without having Kathryn as a sounding board & a laughing partner! Thrilled that our girls get to kick off this journey together, living on the same hallway & sharing a kitchen/living room! What a blessing BTS has been to our family!

This service unlocked information that was very useful to our family. It’s compiled in a way that really helped us drill down and find a school we think will be a great fit. Customer service was very responsive, and the tutorials are well done.
Very good service. All our questions were answered promptly. We didn’t need the monthly subscription for long because our daughter got into the college she wanted very soon. I recommend this service!

Our database is managed by real people! We regularly update our database and resources to ensure you have the most current information on European universities and programs. You cannot find the information in our database across the web because it simply does not exist. We reach out to schools manually to get the information.
This membership does not include dedicated time with our expert admissions counselors. If you would like to receive personalized advice through one-on-one consultation sessions, tailored to your specific needs and goals, you can purchase it as an add-on or with one of our full service packages.
Yes, our resources and services cater to both undergraduate and graduate students seeking to study in Europe.
Yes, many of our members have successfully enrolled in top European universities. You can read their testimonials and success stories on our website.
Yes, our Discover Membership is flexible, and you can cancel at any time without any long-term commitment.
The BTS Premium Monthly Membership is much more than a search engine! Here’s why…
- Our database has many programs that can’t be found in Google (or even Chat GPT)
- All programs are accredited, and taught entirely in English
- Each program is manually verified, meaning we reach out directly to the school to get all the information that isn’t on the web. We have the hidden gems you can’t find anywhere else.
It’s also important to consider…
- We don’t have ads, sponsors, or bias. This is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in life, you shouldn’t be swayed by which school spends the most on marketing. You’ll be surprised to learn that most of our competitors get a commission based on every student referral. That means it’s in their best interest to get you to apply to the school with the highest commission. That influences how they show programs in their database and what they recommend overall. Don’t fall for the trap!
Yes! You can save significantly by purchasing our annual membership. By opting for the Annual Membership, you get all the benefits of the Discover Membership at a reduced cost. This option not only provides long-term access to our resources and expert guidance but also offers a more budget-friendly way to plan your educational journey in Europe. Check out the Annual Membership for more details and to take advantage of this cost-saving opportunity.
