Aren't many Uni programs in English anyway? As someone who worked hard to become fluent in German I don't know if it's worth it, even if you plan to study there.


Some are and some aren't. Frankly, I think most Americans going to a German university may be underwhelmed. The education is very good, but the amenities are nonexistent. Don;t get me wrong, I think Americans have gone overboard with amenities at university, but it is a very different experience in Germany.


+1 I am from Germany and this is spot on. The public and private colleges I have seen here all look gorgeous compared to German facilities.
