    @@maxyoko Could you expand a bit on what you mean by “free”? I’ve been looking into it (as someone with interest in studying a second career in germany) and, so far, it seems that stuying for free requires you to already have a decent level of German - among other things. I’d be very grateful if you could recommend an institution or maybe even someone with whom I could talk to in order to ask questions regarding my particular situation - as I said, this would be a second career, so I have issues finding information online on what steps I would need to take. - Questions like, do I still need to provide my High School papers?

    Some additions by a fellow German: *Attendance:* Depending on your university and your major, attendance may be mandatory. In my programme, people had to retake a course because they missed three lectures - missing twice was the acceptable limit. In our case, this information wasn't disclosed beforehand. It's important to (proactively!) make sure you know the rules and to follow them, even if this means pestering EVERY one of your professors. There's no room for error. *Group Projects:* Yes, you may (most likely) need to work on group projects. If you're lucky and one person isn't doing their job, your professor will allow you to remove this person from your group. If not, they'll let you suffer through it "to learn to work with different individuals" (who would be fired in reality, but teachers and professors don't care much about this). *Football Riots:* (not referring to American Football here) What he's talking about is true. It happens. I advise anyone to stay away from crowds of people wearing bright tricots, scarves, hats, etc. - whether it's in an open space or on public transport. Don't engage with them, keep your distance, change direction, don't get on the bus/train/tram... simply get away as fast as possible. If you're unlucky, you've come across drunk, loud, aggressive, agitated football fans. *Choosing a University:* If you are considering staying in Germany, be aware that no one cares which university you graduated from (apart from some arrogant pricks, probably in business). Graduating from a "high-ranking" university doesn't mean much since it doesn't say much about you anyway. Choosing a university is based on your preferred degree, the courses offered, the location and costs, your values and priorities, the opportunity to "make connections", or available partner universities (if you want to spend some time abroad). *Internships* (Beforehand/During Your Studies): Additionally, you should keep in mind that for many degrees, you need to do an internship beforehand or during the course of your studies (during breaks), and getting an internship in Germany as a foreigner not being able to speak German might be quite difficult (and most internships are not paid either). Make sure to inform yourself about the specific requirements beforehand so that your internship gets accredited/acknowledged. *Drinking Culture* - You Don't Need It for Finding Friends: Depending on your social circle, drinking beer or other alcoholic beverages is not something you do regularly with your friends. From the people I mostly interacted with, most didn't drink alcohol at all - not even for religious reasons. So if that is not something you're interested in, don't worry. There might be weird looks and stupid questions, but be reminded that everyone not taking part in Germany's drinking culture gets those reactions - not only foreigners.

    Hey man, appreciate you making this video. Have friends going to school in Germany, as well as a friend in the staff of a uni there, and being an American who did my undergrad at an American public uni, I was baffled when I learned about how cheap going to school in Germany could be. Even more absurd though was hearing them talk about housing prices in Germany, and them referring to €800 for a decent 1bd apartment as being “expensive”. Having been in the military for some years now and transitioning out, I’ve been looking at going back for a grad degree and our post-military government funding program covers many schools in Europe, so that has got me thinking hard about it. Seeing this video also confirmed for me a lot about cost of living and general considerations, but I also appreciate you explaining the difference between the hochschules and the unis, as that distinction isn’t really present in the US to such a degree as it is in Austria and Germany. Thanks again!

    University/Universität: More "theoretical", often bigger with more partnering universities abroad, classes with hundreds of people, professors don´t know their students´ names, students have to deal with everything on their own University of Applied Sciences/Hochschule/Fachhochschule: More "practical" with more mandatory internships during breaks or as a separate practical semester (which is why degrees from those universities are often one semester longer), smaller universities, smaller classes, and even smaller working groups, professors know their students by name and face, more "supportive", but often less connections to universities abroad Both types of universities can have either one exam per course at the end of a semester, or several ones throughout the semester. Also, it doesn´t have to be a written exam in the traditional sense. It can be an oral exam, presentation, business plan, research protocol, anything basically. Universities and Universities of Applied Sciences often offer different degrees - Universities of Applied Sciences often focusing on "less common" degrees and health or engineering. The costs (Semesterbeitrag) doesn´t depend on the type of university, but rather the university and the location itself. The costs almost always cover public transport tickets as well. With some you might travel through the entire region (-> more expensive), others can only be used within the specific city or specific public transport such as buses but no trains (-> cheaper). The costs are between 50 and 400€ per semester (= six months). Private universities are much more expensive, obviously - and in contrary to other countries - not "the best choice". Choosing a public school or university is the most common option in Germany. Generally the eastern and northern parts of Germany may be cheaper in general (rent etc.), but have less universities, infrastructure and job opportunities.

    Interesting. I'm from Germany, and I know many people who preferred doing the work ONCE instead of having several presentations, oral marks, etc. in addition to regular (final) exams. I understand the pressure and intimidation of having "only one chance", though. I don't have any idea about exams in the US (I just know that some pupils doing exchange years in the US found them easier - granted they went to the US in high school, not in university), but I wanted to give you some general information about exams at German universities regardless: *Type:* Written exam, oral exam, presentation, paper, group assignment, business plan, ... Written Exams - Most likely no multiple-choice questions. Instead, you´ll have to answer questions in continuous text. *Duration:* Anything from 45 minutes to two hours. *Contents:* Practically everything you've learned in this semester (and possibly input from prior semesters too). Professors usually don't like or simply don't do students the favour of narrowing down topics. You either manage to learn everything or guess which topics might be important and focus on those (mind that some professors create several exam papers so there's no knowing which topics will be covered by the exam YOU take). *Frequency and spacing:* Usually there's one exam, presentation, paper or whatever due at the end of a semester (per course). Sometimes there are several ones per course. The exams can be spread out and take place during breaks, or can be compromised in one or two weeks in addition to regular classes, while breaks are intended for internships. *Structure:* German pupils and students are trained to not only reproduce what they've learned but also to solve problems (practical and transfer questions). The ratio of these portions varies depending on the professor. Depending on your major you may need to label or draw illustrations as well. *Grading:* Grading depends on your major (Law is quite complicated, but for international students it´s an unusual choice anyway). It's typically done in 0.3 steps: 1.0 (best), 1.3, 1.7, 2.0, 2.3.... 4.0 often being the passing mark. I don't know what's the worst mark though. Marks are determined by the number of points or correct percentage achieved. There's no grading curve like in the US (at least, none that I know of). *Retaking:* Usually you can retake exams once without any problem or additional paperwork. Retaking an exam a second time often requires submitting an official request for repetition. Some universities grant even more tries. I believe the most common version involves attempting the exam three times in total: one initial try and two retakes. If you fail after all available tries, you'll get expelled and won´t be allowed to study this particular course/degree anymore (at least at a German university, that is). *Language (in general):* Most degrees in Germany are mostly (or solely) offered in German. Here I want to emphasise the ugly reality of being a foreigner undertaking courses in Germany: Even if foreigners attend lessons (you need to prove your language abilities and meet other criteria beforehand), professors at universities (and even at "friendlier", smaller universities of applied sciences) won't go easy on you and switch to English during lessons. Other students may dread to work with someone not being able to communicate with them properly as well. Also, it's harder to make friends without solid German skills. Honestly, if you're planning on spending a semester - or your entire studies - in a different country, it's best to learn about the culture and language. Out of respect and for easier interactions. I don't know if any of this was helpful to you, but well... I tried. ^^

    This is hard to say. In Germany, having an official degree matters more than being self-taught (which is quite common - and acceptable - in the US or Ireland). I know programmers/software engineers who couldn't get a job at first because they had no official proof of having the necessary skills. Smaller companies and start-ups are more open to employ freelancers without a degree, but it may be much harder to cooperate with big, traditional companies based in Germany. If you consider working with these companies or want to attract "respectable" clients, having an accredited degree or certificate may come in handy, or it may even be required. I'd say, try it; just do your research and be determined to prove to people that you're capable, even without attending university. On another note, be aware that German taxes and bureaucracy for self-employed people are a complicated mess. Good luck

    You give a very good overview about the main aspects of studying here. I want to clarify that there can be additional costs for Non-EU citizens which can make studying here more expensive than shown. 1. Often you have to pay an additional fee for the university (as a non-EU citizen) e.g. Uni Mannheim 1,500€ per Semester. 2. You have to pay a lot of taxes if you earn more than 520€ per month(for everyone). Above that you have to pay also pay for insurance. So nearly no one gets over 520€ per month with a student job.

    ... but you should...😉 Learn every noun with the article. Don't waste time to think about the sex of a girl! It is "das ", neuter!!! Das Mädchen, .... . If you learn it this way... German is easy!

    When you applied to uni did you apply as a foreigner or German national? I have both a UK and German passport currently, and I'm not sure if it is better to apply as an international student or German.

    I applied as a German national. I believe it's a bit easier and smoother because there are no additional admission requirements
