Here are some reasons why Tallinn University of Technology might be a good fit for you as an American student:

In addition to ESN, there are three other student organizations geared towards international students, which are AIESEC, BEST, and AEGEE. Student clubs include cinema, debate, tennis, cycling, culture, photo, film, choir, and orchestra dance. In addition, there are several yearly school-wide parties and events including a fashion show, international night, a charity singing contest, an opening bash, Christmas parties, spring ball, and more. Students can join the sports club for under 30 euros a month and there are also sports clubs and teams throughout the school.

Notes
The campus was full of activity and life when I visited, and I heard a lot of students speaking English to each other. The campus is in a residential area about 20 minutes from Old Town, but that doesn't keep students from visiting Old Town to socialize on the weekends. Public transportation is free for residents, and there is a bus stop across the street from the buildings.
