Which language do you speak better? Go there.

Personally I associate Germany much more with engineering than I do France. That might just be an American bias but "German engineering" is equivalent of good quality in colloquial language here.

I am asking for my students,
They are english educated and have french background, but in all cases they should enter special school to learn french or german.
So the language is not the big deal, i am asking university rating and engineering quality wise.
Which is better?
