[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check out: Bard Berlin, and CEU (in Vienna). CEU actually has some prestige…[/quote]

Yes, bare in mind though:

Bard Berlin is an Bard's  (an American college's) branch campus, with only 300 students, so very small.

CEU does have some prestige, but the undergraduate programmes are less than 5 years old—very new, and I think also with very small undergraduate populations. Of course the endowment and support from George Soros, and CEU's recent, but exceptional history as a postgraduate institution are worth noting.

CEU is all based in Vienna now, right?

I'd research these two options very carefully. [/quote]

These options are both in English, but you can also take German classes (and would be living in a German speaking country). They are American accredited universities. Bard Berlin allows easy transfer to the main campus/or study there for a year, including a semester in NYC. It is very cheap by American standards; CEU is super cheap.

CEU is expanding their undergrad population, as far as I know. Both Bard (Berlin and other campuses) and CEU are heavily funded and linked into a growing and expanding network of international universities; they aren’t going anywhere.

German universities are soulless places at the undergrad level, with lots of lectures, huge classes, and rote memorization. The English of the professors and students is not up to native standard and you are getting a second class degree in the eyes of Germans (who have a certain attitude if you catch my drift). Meanwhile, the proper degrees in German are really only for native speakers.
