I’ve known several Americans who’ve taken this route and settled down in Spain with (or to start) their families. Eric Marsh’s answer covers most of the bases, so I’ll just add a few more that I’ve observed for expat Americans at the student or early career level:Low-cost, debt-free college education. The draw of this factor should not be underestimated given the spiraling costs and student loan crisis in the US ($1.6 trillion as of 2019). While Spain’s university education isn’t quite free as it is in e.g. Germany, Finland, France, and some other European options, it comes pretty close. Americans who do their post-secondary studies in Spain (undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral level) in effect lend themselves a significant head start in their careers, entrepreneurial aspirations, and family formation by acquiring higher education without interest-compounding debt. Not to mention gaining enormous peace of mind. STEM training in American universities in particular has become quite costly, even in public universities and/or with the benefit of community college for a portion of one’s post-secondary education. The coursework can often require more than the customary four years of undergraduate education, and there’s little schedule room for even part-time jobs with a demanding major like engineering. It’s therefore a nontrivial source of daily stress for Americans in fields like this to carry that much debt load with all the uncertainty of paying it off; even if they do everything right, a recession or layoffs at a firm can leave them unable to repay their student loans as they relentlessly gather interest and compound. The advantages of completing such training debt-free are almost incalculable, in both concrete and intangible ways. Unless American students can secure a scholarship, it often makes more practical and financial sense for them to complete their post-secondary education abroad, and Spain is undoubtedly an attractive option for that. Then after graduation, many of the expat Americans simply opt to stay in Spain (or elsewhere in the EU), in part due to low-cost further education if needed (for themselves as well as their kids) and also the other benefits of Spanish long-term settlement and naturalization. Which include:Manageable healthcare costs. This one’s been exhaustively covered but it bears repeating; the expats there, on the basis of the hard numbers, are able to afford healthcare for themselves and families and much less cost and virtually zero risk of medical bankruptcy. It’s a cold economic calculation but an obvious one from the standpoint of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Americans in Spain have reliable healthcare access even if they strike out on their own to start a business, switch jobs, or freelance and contract. Although this is a complicated issue with a number of facets to consider, there’s no doubt that this is one of the attractions keeping American expats there, as other Quorans have observed. Note that this is of particular importance for Americans of childbearing age, since prenatal follow-up, labor and delivery, and nursery and postpartum care can be seriously and unpredictably expensive even for professional Americans with good health insurance. The relative security and freedom from financial ruin for childbirth and early child care in a country like Spain is, indeed, an attraction for the types of highly skilled young Americans who tend to emigrate. Note that Spain does not have a single-payer system per se and many aspects of its healthcare system are even modeled on US hospitals. But at the macroscopic level, it’s been able to provide universal healthcare that removes the gaps and potential catastrophic costs for events like pregnancy, which plague American parents.Jobs, even in STEM fields. This may appear surprising at first glance, but Spain has a number of thriving science-driven and tech sectors, with solid jobs at good pay but a lower cost of living than almost any tech-driven city in the US. One of my old acquaintances who emigrated to Spain, for instance, is a mechanical engineer who went to work for Spain’s Talgo, a manufacturer of high-speed trains and rail. As it turns out, Spain was a pioneer of high-speed rail and tilting technology in particular (used on the Amtrak Acela lines), while US transportation patterns have tended to discourage rail by comparison. So his best job opportunities were in Europe, and specifically in Spain, where he notched a high-paying position in a low-cost city. As far as I know he married his American college sweetheart but they and their kids now live in Spain. Related to that point…Cost of living in Spanish cities with good jobs is generally much lower than comparable American cities. Part of this is on account of much lower-cost health insurance and healthcare (with aggregate taxes being the same or a bit lower than much of the US), but it’s also reduced cost in housing, transportation, food, and other sectors. Again, at first blush it might seem odd for an American programmer or other skilled worker to leave a pulsing hub like Silicon Valley, Austin, or the Route 128 sector in Massachusetts for the smaller tech hubs in Spain (or their counterparts in e.g. Sweden, France, Germany, Belgium, or the Netherlands), given the high salaries for US programmers esp. in the Bay Area and New England. But rents and home mortgage costs in these regions have soared to such sky-high levels that even top-flight engineers with high six-figure salaries often have to double or triple up in modest (at best) apartments to live there, since their income after tax (and health care and student loan costs) is dwarfed by the still skyrocketing costs of housing. They can’t really build up their savings much, let alone provide for daycare costs for children, and the long hours in those jobs don’t leave much room for entrepreneurship or other gigs. All this on top of policies like mass outsourcing (perversely incentivized by US tax law) and the H-1B visa putting even further downward wage pressure on US tech jobs. Salaries for good tech jobs in Spain may be somewhat lower than in Silicon Valley (although even then not always), but the COL is so much lower in Spanish cities that American skilled workers still come out ahead. And policies like subsidized childcare and the 6-week vacations further increase affordability while providing breathing room for creative and entrepreneurial efforts.Weather and beaches. Let’s be honest, Spain has some of the best in the world on this front, bordering both the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Combine this with a First-World economy, low COL and the other advantages above, and this is a huge attractive to expatriating Americans.History, language, and culture. Rich history is all around you in a country like Spain, stretching back millennia even to pre-Roman times. Spanish is fairly easy for English-speaking Americans to learn, at least to gain core proficiency.Sports. Spain is truly a paradise for athletes and sports and fitness-minded people. It’s one of the reasons why the country consistently produces such a disproportionate share of the world’s top athletes, from the Spanish soccer team to tennis phenoms like Rafael Nadal and Sergi Bruguera. Americans with an eye toward a fitness-focused locale often feel more at home there than anywhere in North America.This isn’t an exhaustive list of course, nor is it a general template or any sort of assertion of one country’s superiority over another. There are things that Spain does extraordinarily well, and areas where the US excels comparatively. It’s simply saying that there are, indeed, plausible constellations of push and pull factors that can bring Americans to Spain. In my own research for a public health project years ago, I did indeed find that more and more Americans are emigrating to live and work in Spain each year since the Great Recession, so this is a real, statistically-backed phenomenon:Notice that emigration from the United States and settlement in Spain has risen precipitously in recent years, now exceeding even traditional immigrant source (such as the Philippines) and fellow EU countries mobile labor forces (such as Poland). So something clearly is attracting Americans in ever greater numbers to move and settle in Spain, increasingly younger working-age Americans with professional backgrounds or aspirations. To be sure, I noticed similar trends in that project for American immigration to the Netherlands, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Finland, Switzerland, and many other countries, so it’s not necessarily something exclusive to Spain. But the rise in American immigration to Spain has been especially pronounced in recent years, so there likely are some pull factors in Spain that are comparatively quite attractive to American expats even in comparison to other EU countries.

Since one have requested me to answer thus I am replying it.First of all, two branches at different places could not be compared perfectly and both have its own positive points and negative points. It depends on which criteria you want to use for comparison.Location: We all know overall rank of IITB is better than that of IITK and Bombay is the economical capital of India. Here you will find better OFF-CAMPUS internship opportunities, moreover its better place than Kanpur.Students: IITB started Economics undergraduate programme under HSS Department last year and thus gave chance to 19 students for their first batch. Cutoff was AIR-2555. In IITK Economics was first established 13 years back and now it is established as Department of Economic Sciences in Kanpur. Last year seats were 38 and cutoff was near about AIR-2800.Faculty: IITB has 8 professors under HSS department whereas in IITK we have 13 professors. However because it is an established branch thus have more PhD students which can tutor undergraduate students.Course : Nearly all compulsory courses are same and in equal quantity. But there is one major difference, in IITK UG template allow students to take 7 Open electives, 6 Essential Science Optional Subjects, and 4 Departmental Electives. Whereas in IITB you can opt for only two electives.Academic Flexibility: Both institute offers minor but IITK also offers double major in any department, that means you can get two degrees of different department which makes it special.Infrastructure and Clubs: IIT Bombay has better infrastructure than IITK. Infact their clubs are more prosperous. Their achievements in different competitions are more satisfactory than Kanpur. And we all know MOODI too.Placements : Placements of IITB Economics is not yet known as the first batch will graduate after 3 years. IIT Kanpur Economics has nice and decent placements with nearly above 90% getting placed. For IITK: Excluding core chemical/civil/electrical/mechanical engineering companies, such as HUL & ITC which have branch restrictions, “non-core” companies open their shortlisting process for almost all the branches, since it is the aptitude that matters and not the branch. Few companies are open exclusively for Economics students, which means that we have to compete with students across branches for placements/internships. Students from Economics majorly get placed in Analytics (such as EXL, Walmart Labs, American Express, Capital One), Consultancy (such as Ernst & Young, PwC US Advisory, McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group) and Finance (such as Credit Suisse, Futures First, Citicorp services, Deutsche Bank, JP Morgan, Nomura, WorldQuant, M.H. Alshaya). Especially in the analytics sector, Economics students have an edge over other departments because they learn the skills needed to clear the tests and interviews along with their courses. For more information about bombay you can visit their website.Future Aspect :FOR IITK:There lie immense opportunities after completing Bachelors/Masters in Economics. Our alumni and current students are performing extremely well and have left no stone unturned in almost every aspect be it corporate world, research or civil services. In this section, we note down the future career prospects that you have after completing a bachelor's in Economics.Job opportunities: As mentioned in the previous section, many of our alumni are currently working in renowned investment banking firms, consultancy services and analytics companies. An alumnus of Economics IIT Kanpur is also working in worldly renowned International Monetary Fund (IMF) and an alumna is working as a Research Assistant at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Moreover, a few of Economic graduates are currently working in renowned research labs such as J-PAL (MIT research lab) and Institute for Financial Management and Research (IFMR).Higher studies: There lie ample opportunities for higher studies in Economics. You can go for pursuing a Masters/PhD in reputed Indian and international universities. Recent graduates of Economics are currently enrolled in Master’s program at University of Columbia, Barcelona Graduate School of Economics, London Business School, and others. Some of them have already completed their masters from prestigious universities including MIT Sloan School of Management, Booth School of Business, London School of Economics, Yale University, Washington University, and Barcelona Graduate School of Economics. Our alumni have also secured full scholarship for pursuing PhD in institutions like University of Michigan, University of Toronto, Tilburg University, University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, University of California Irvine, University of California San Diego, and University of Wisconsin-Madison.Even at Bachelor’s level, a good number of students have been awarded summer research fellowships through prestigious programs including MITACS, DAAD-WISE, University of Queensland Research Program and Indian Academy of Sciences. Apart from these, students have been able to grab academic internships during their undergraduate curriculum in universities like ETH Zurich, Technion- Israel Institute of Technology, Virginia Tech, University of Milano, Michigan State University, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, IIM Bangalore, Indian School of Business.Economics students have also done summer internships in the Reserve Bank of India.Recently IITK Econs have won RBI Challenge Policy 2018, competiting with IIMs and other economics colleges.Government Jobs and Civil Services: Without any iota of doubt having an Economics background definitely gives you an edge for preparation of civil services examination, For instance, Indian Economic Service (IES) conducted by UPSC is an excellent choice for economics enthusiasts. Post qualifying this exam you are eligible for joining various Ministries/ Departments of government and can provide your inputs on all policy-related matters, and their economic implications. You can also go for the Civil Services examination taking Economics as one of your subjects. Economics at IIT Kanpur is really proud that one of our alumni has secured AIR 12 in the prestigious UPSC civil service examinations 2016. Adding to the achievements, one of our alumnus is currently Deputy Director at Ministry of Finance, Government of India.FOR IITB:I have found a link which can clear the scenario at IITB: Economics at IIT BombaySo this was a straight forward comparision using different resources.Now my point of view:I really think both are top colleges in India and we can’t do a perfect comparision. I think Bombay took a edge over its performance due to its location and Ranking whereas IITK took a edge over its performance due to better course template and academic flexibilty and also due to better alumuni network .I recommend you to join Kanpur if you think that there could be a situation where you needs to switch your branch from economics in 2–3 rd year or you don’t like economics that much or if doubt economics then Kanpur will help you since the course template is not that strict and that allows you to take courses from other department which let you free from bondation .It also gives you profit during placements and internship since students take many courses from CSE in their optional Subject.
