Europe Colleges and Universities

Europe, including the European portion of Russia, ranks sixth in size among the continents; only Australia is smaller. Unlike the other continents, Europe does not constitute a distinct and separate body of land but is part of the same landmass as Asia. Europe and Asia are treated as separate continents for historical rather than geographic reasons. Europe is complex and diverse in physical, economic, historical, political, and social makeup. The Alpine mountain system is the most outstanding physical feature; it dominates the south central portion of the continent and is the source of many major European rivers. Below is a list of Web sites for educational institutions in Europe.
