Freedom of Movement Freedom of Movement

My wife is a dual Italian/US citizen with passports for both countries and I am a non EU, US citizen with a US passport. We are currently not EU residents as we reside in the US. When we are retired US pensioners, we would like to travel slowly through Europe (1-2 months in each EU country not exciding 90 days in each country) for a couple of years. We would do this so we can start searching for if and where we would like to permanently move and become EU residents. During that slow travel time, we will be traveling as US residents, however, my wife will be using her italian passport on entry. Can I be exempt from the Schengen Zone rules if I am traveling with her per the Freedom of Movement law? In other words, if me, non-EU family member (husband) travels with her, an EU citizen and US resident, do the Schengen stay limits apply, 90 days out of 180? Or do non-EU family members inherit the freedom of movement rights that pertain to their EU spouse? We researched our question on Europa.eu and the EU Border Agent Manual Section 2.2, but did not find a clear answer for our particular situation. The examples given did not indicate if the EU citizen was also an EU resident.

IB Student graduating this year, hoping to do European Law IB Student graduating this year, hoping to do European Law

I am currently pursuing the Una Europa bachelor program in European studies, where I would focus on law and criminology. Does anyone know the process that would come following this in order for me to get a law degree that I could use to practice in the European Union. I am Polish but studying abroad and want to settle down in Europe, preferably Scandinavia. If someone could tell me how they would approach this, even if the path does not concern the Una Europa program but instead does a conventional degree.
