How to attend a University in Germany as an American Student?
I would like to attend a University in Germany to obtain a Bachelor's degree in German and English, and then later gain a Master's degree in Translating and Interpreting. I'm curious how the University systems in Germany work, especially for International Students. I am under the impression that schooling at many of the Universities have free tuition. If someone could help me understand how the system works? I would also like to make is clear that I am fluent in the German language, next to my Native tongue of English and my fluency in Dutch and Czech as well. If someone could also answer questions like how long the degree programs take to complete and how do I register for the programs? I would like to also make clear that I am only a GED graduate. I would assume that taking some time and attending a community college in the States may help my chances of getting accepted, but I can only assume seeing how I do not know for a fact.

You need to find a study abroad program, either through a university or online. Also, it wouldn't hurt to check out the programs for International Students through the desired German university and apply there directly. (You should check out the second idea first.)

You need to apply at the British embassy in Berlin
2 :
The British Embassy in Germany has outsourced the visa application process to a commercial partner, WorldBridge. You need to fill the application form online and must make the payment of the visa fee (€277) online unless you apply in Düsseldorf where you also can pay in cash. After that you will need to get an appointment to have your biometrics and fingerprints taken. Those appointments can be made at the WorldBridge Visa Application Centres in Berlin, Düsseldorf, or Munich. After having done the biometrics at Berlin or Munich you will need to mail the printed out application form together with your supporting documents to the WorldBridge Visa Application Centre in Düsseldorf, in order to be forwarded in bulk to the Border Agency Office at the U.K. Consulate General in Düsseldorf, the only place in Germany where visa decision are made. If you have gotten your appointment in Düsseldorf you can also drop off your application package at the application centre. The application can be lodged up to 3 months prior to the proposed travel date; do it as early as possible since your details might be referred to the U.K. Border Agency office in your home country which may take quire a while. To get further details just chose Germany on the attached website. https://www.visainfoservices.com/Pages/Welcome.aspx ..

Is theatre big in Germany? What are popular musicals there?
Is theatre big in Germany? What are popular musicals there?
Hey there! Next year, I will be a foreign exchange student to Germany! I am VERY into theatre here in America, it is my life. I was jusg wondering if lots of kids do theatre over there. One of my favorite musicals is Spring Awakening, and I know that it is set in Germany. Do the community theatres in Germany perform that alot? What are popular musicals that they do? Thanks!

Um, Spring Awakening is only known as the novel/drama to students at school (I think we all hated it *lol*) and as a normal theater play, but not as a musical. Still, we have many musicals - the big ones - here, all put on by one company named Stage Entertainment. There are also tour productions that aren't Stage produced. Smaller, local theaters may sometimes have musicals as well, but mostly it's normal plays without music in them. Depending on the city you're staying in (or close to), you'll find classic plays as well as modern versions of classics, or new stories. As for the musical here - we have, for example, Tarzan, Wicked, We Will Rock You, Sister Act, and The Lion King, as well as some German musicals, such as Tanz der Vampire, Hinterm Horizont and Ich war noch niemals in New York (the two last ones with music from famous German artists, similar to Mamma Mia). They're all in German, though, of course ;)

Can I change my Schengen Visit Visa into Student Residence Visa?
Can I change my Schengen Visit Visa into Student Residence Visa?
I got a Swiss Schengen Visit Visa and I will travel soon to visit Switzerland. Also I will visit my friends in Germany and I'm planning to visit a university there. In case I got my admission approved in that university, can I stay in Germany and change my Schengen Visit Visa into Student Residence Visa, instead of traveling out from Germany and then obtain a brand new Schengen Visa to re-enter Germany as a residence Student?

Yes, you may apply for a residence permit in Germany. In general long-stay national visa issued by German Embassies are only valid for three months with the demand to apply for a resident permit after arrival at Germany. German Embassies and Consulates can only issue visa for 3 months since the authority to grant a longer stay is with the German States based on Federal Law. Provided you hold a visa valid for 90 days you need to contact the town-hall of the city you plan to reside in and obtain the residence permit through the foreigners office [Ausländeramt]..

Almost all exchange students going to Germany attend a gymnasium -- the highest of the three levels of secondary schools.
2 :
You would be in Gymnasium. The upper level of the German school system is split into three levels starting in fifth grade: Gymnasium (the highest), Realshule (the middle schoo, for average kids), and Hauptshule, the lowest-level school. Gymnasium is the only school that gives kids the degree they need for university, and also takes the most years to complete, going up to grade 13 (just bit of background info for you). Exchange students tend to be placed in Gymnasium.

Student exchange - Switzerland, Germany or Austria?
Student exchange - Switzerland, Germany or Austria?
I'm 15 and I'm from Australia, so I'm used to warm weather (around 20c in winter, and over 30c in summer) and I want to go on student exchange to experience the different culture, language, sights, weather etc. I am looking at going for 5 months, leaving in August/ September, with SEA. I want to advance my German (learn it at school - Bavarian) and experience cold weather and cobblestoned streets, with those walk up buildings, as well as a Traditional White Christmas. Where should I go to fulfill these desires?

I spent a year in Germany and loved it. I spent 4 months in Austria and it was also great. I hear that Switzerland is kind of expensive. If you live in the Bavaria area of Germany, you will most definitely get all of that and more!
