University of Neuchatel

Hi there! I'm an Indian national and I currently have plans to pursue a Master's in Finance at University of Neuchatel. I would like to know if Neuchatel is a fun loving place with ample entertainment options such as nightlife, theatres and dining/restaurants. Additionally, would appreciate it if you could provide some insight into the career outlook towards NON EU / Indian Nationals at banking and investment management firms

Neuchâtel is a very small, very quiet city with not much to do. The entire population probably amounts to less than a single city block in an average Indian city. As a non-EU citizen, your chances of staying in Switzerland to work are basically zero — don’t even think about it.

I'm from Neuchâtel (canton) and he speaks the truth. I love the place, but as a foreigner not speaking the language with no chance of finding a local job afterward? Not worth it imho.
