Try for a place where you won’t need a car. College towns are usually walkable, interesting, and often fairly cheap, and roommates are often wanted. There are too many to list.
I haven’t been to the Netherlands of late (but I’d like to visit again soon!), but during recent travels in Spain, France, and Portugal, I was able to get a better meal at a better price than in the US. (I did not attempt fast food, and didn’t eat anyplace too fancy. (Also wine is much more expensive in the US than in many EU countries, so factor that in if you prefer a drink with dinner.)
It depends where but major U.S. cities charge high prices for good meals at nice restaurants. Some European cities are expensive but I’m able to find a decent sandwhich for €5 in Vienna, Austria.
Europe is a big place, you should be comparing the most expensive us cities to most expensive European cities. Having lived in SF and traveled to Zurich for example, I think overall cost of living is roughly similar but specifically eating at restaurants seemed noticeably cheaper in sf.
Europe is a big place but only a few European cities are more expensive and Switzerland overall is very expensive. They also get paid high wages than the min wage in America so it’s not surprising. I mentioned Vienna as an example because I know London is expensive. Sometimes in nyc I spend $10 on one coffee though.

I’m not sure where in Europe you’re referring to, but restaurants in the US (maybe excepting New York) are a great deal compared to Netherlands.
