  1.  @awreli864  Depends very much on the subject. The US won't accept a medical degree from abroad without American exams taken (and vice versa does Germany).

  2. I am happy for you but as someone who wants to do medicine too and has to go abroad, I am not a fan for paying such high costs for non-citizens. I am German citizens and I think that there should be tuition fees for non-Germans.

  3. You don't have to. But if you want to receive some extra qualifications for some jobs it is essential. Can't be a chemist without it or a doctor.

  4. 1. Costs - they have to have a 10,000 back log of cash freely available 2. Language; Germany is not a native English-speaking country and most undergraduate courses are in German. 3. Career. College is a much networking as studying. You simply won't know anyone if you study in Germany and decide to move to the US. 4. Lack of qualification; if you aspire a career, you study law or finance / banking. Those will not help you if you study them in Germany.

  5. How many world famous professors actually teach? Most of them are working on their own projects and have their assistants teach the undergraduates. What kind of service you could possibly want from a uni? You actually can have fraternities / sororities; they just aren't such a staple anymore. Goodle Burschenschaften. Party can be organised outside uni and I have had a lot of party. Changing Uni is typically not that problematic.

  6.  @jantube358  I have experience abroad and even while I did not have to pay anything (thanks to a stipend); I did not think the grass was greener. It is true that we have problems with digitalisation but my uni actually does a great job with it. Certainly I do not have the problems that my American buddies have.

  7. That is false. In Germany if you are a medical student from abroad you will need to do a few years as a resident before you can have a final exam that would then allow you to be recognised as a fully trained doctor. In the US, if you are a foreign medical student you will have to write all the US exams (USMLE Steps 1 - 2 and later on 3) and do the residency completely from the beginning to the end.

  8.  @deepgill8610  Germany has been named again and again as the most innovative country in the world in the last decade. Additionally, while the US is at the top of the rankings (which are inherently screwed anglo-saxon because the German education system is organised much differently) German unis are known to provide excellent education through a wide range of subjects, particularly engineering.

  9. *Studying is a right, doing it on the taxpayers back is a priviledge

  10.  @mauriciorv228  I am happy to pay for tertiary education as long as the people doing it deserve it. Me paying for the education of an adult who could otherwise work is a priviledge

  11.  @mauriciorv228  Totally agree. Success should depend on your own hard work and not on mine…

  12.  @Charlie-ii5rr  And you still would not have more money for you. You would continue to pay your army but it sits at home.

  13. And you support Trump who continues the same policies for those corporations?

  14. Ahahaha. Germany isn't collapsing. Have you seen your infrastructure? And Joe beat the Donald....
