It covers the traps and hurdles, the challenges and rewards, with a tell-all approach covering all aspects of studying in Germany for foreigners, be it for undergraduate studies, graduate studies, or on an exchange program.
Besides university in Germany being free for anyone who gets accepted, where you aware of any of the following challenges?

- the traps and pitfalls that keep many foreign students from graduating
- skills and information that are crucial for success at German universities
- how much money you need
- the best places to live
- how long it takes to learn German, and in which cases you can avoid it
This book will give you a unique insight into the German university market that is still relatively untapped by students from some countries such as the U.S.
It is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about studying in Germany.
