What can you tell an American student about studying at the Catholic University of Germany in Eichstatt?
Is this program in english or German? Do most people speak English in this part of Germany? Is there a large student population in this area?

1. Program is probably in german only. 2. Most younger people do speak some english. 3. No. Eichstaett is a very small town (I read somewhere it is the smallest town in europe with a university) in a remote, rural area of germany. A lot of students there are from surrounding villages and return to their parents on weekends. A big university wouldn't call itself "Catholic university" btw. so the name is a give-away as to what the university focuses on (theology).Don't expect theology students to be very lively.

It depends on what country you are from and the agreements your country has with the EU. In most cases, yes you can travel within the EU. Again--best to check first. There are places for online info. Search for the embassy website of your country and go to the travel/visa info page.

With a long-stay national visa (Type D) for Germany or a residence permit issued in Germany you can travel to all 24 other countries of the Schengen agreement to include Italy, France, and Spain. There are no governmental immigration controls on flights between Schengen countries. You just show your passport/visa/residence permit on check-in or security check, that's it.

Hello, I don't know where you are but I would tell you to check out http://www.campus-germany.org for further details. That site has a compilation of everything related to education in Germany. It is the website of the German government. You can send an e-mail to "postmaster@daad.de" with your complete resume and your career plans and ask them for institutions in Germany for theater. Look on Google for DAAD in your country. All the best!

Can German universities expedite student visas in Germany?


Can German universities expedite student visas in Germany?
I am a Mexican citizen studying in the USA. I was recently accepted to German university through an agreement between my school in the US and the state of Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany. I applied for a student visa and the employee at the consulate told me it usually takes about 8 weeks to process. My classes will start in less than a month!! Someone told me that the university in Germany might be able to expedite the process... is this true?, even if expedited will I get my visa on time? has anyone been in a similar situation with a German student visa?

I'm currently studying in Baden-Württemberg as a foreign student. But my situation wasn't as nearly complicated as yours. I'm from Canada and Canadians don't need a Student Visa to enter Germany as a student. I had to go register at the ''Ausländerbehörde'' (Foreigners Registration Office - where you'll also need to go once you get to Germany) and I then got my ''Aufenthaltserlaubnis'' (residence permit) on the spot. I think your situation is a little more complex since you're Mexican studying in the U.S. Remember that German bureaucracy is 1) slow and 2) very strict. You need to follow an exhausting order of rules in order to get what you want. I highly doubt the university will be able to accelerate the process, but you can take a chance and ask them, you won't lose anything. Question: Why haven't you applied for a student VISA earlier? I also think it's funny how your classes start in less than a month...when is that? Germany has no Fall Semester, only winter and summer. and the Wintersemester will start at the end of september/early october. de todas formas, suerte!
