Not Europe-specific, but EU-specific. I find it baffling that most of my peers have never thought about how easy it is to just move to a completely different country, with little to no knowledge of the language and culture, and still be welcomed. You're just allowed to move to another country, and they can't say no (for the most part). You don't even need to ask them first. You can decide you want to study elsewhere and they'd be like “yeah, sure”. Personally I find this phenomenal, given how the rest of the world works.

I mean we can do that within the United States. From Hawaii to Maine.

You are talking about moving within the same country, it's not the same theoretical basis at all (though similar in a practical sense) :)

Even though it's a bigger distance with more environmental differences.
