Student Visa in Germany?

Student Visa in Germany?
If I apply for a student visa in Germany (Schengen Country), will a Schengen Visa be integrated on this kind of Visa? Since I also wanted to tour Europe while studying. Thanks

There are websites that have all of the details about this. Do a search for "schengen student visa."
2 :
For Germany regular tourist/visitors visa [Schengen visa type C] as well as national long stay visa [type D] can only be issued up to a stay of 90 days. The German Embassies and Consulates abroad are following German national law applicable to the entire Federal Republic. A stay of longer than 90 days in Germany however is subject to the approval of the various German Federal States who have delegated the approval to the German communities in which a foreigner plans to reside and gets registered. The temporary resident permit [Aufenthaltstitel], issued by the German foreigners office at the place of residence [Ausländerbehörde] allows the travel to the other 24 Schengen countries for a period of 90 days within each 6 months period without any other formalities. http://ec.europa.eu/justice_home/faq/freetravel/faq_freetravel_en.htm#borders .. Citizen of Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States may apply for the residence permit after arrival in Gemany without the need to obtain a visa. http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/Infoservice/FAQ/VisumFuerD/02-Arbeiten.html ..

What's a sentimental gift that I can make/buy my boyfriend before he goes back to Germany?

What's a sentimental gift that I can make/buy my boyfriend before he goes back to Germany?
My boyfriend is a foreign exchange student from Germany and he's leaving to go back home in roughly one month. Christmas is coming up and I want to make/buy him something very special. I know long-distant relationships are tough, but there's no doubt in my mind that we can make it. I want to give him something that will make him think of me often and smile. Any suggestions?

I'm hosting a foreign exchange student and need a bit of advice?

I'm hosting a foreign exchange student and need a bit of advice?
I'm currently hosting a foreign exchange student from Germany- and I hate to say it, but I am socially inept. I'm not a talker, I have little experience with treating guests, and she's also incredibly quiet since she's not accustomed to English. My German is insufficient to create any worthwhile small talk as well. Can anyone give me any tips on connecting with a foreign exchange student? >< I really want to be friends with her, but I have no clue how to approach the situation. And it really doesn't help that we both don't appear to indulge in conversation! And yet it makes me feel terrible just to let her sit on the bed and read and let her be bored....

maybe show the exchange student the town,city; zoo or mall or something!! i mean if i went to another country i would like to see the place experince and stuff you know..so see what she likes and what you have in common with her or something!!
2 :
Well, break the ice (the awkward situation) by playing games together, finding out her favorite food, listening to music or watching movies. After you're through the awkward stage, then, ask her what she would like to know/see about your place. Show her around, give her a tour to historic monuments, famous landmarks and etc. It could be anything. You are only limited by your own imagination ;)
3 :
You should try to figure out what she needs and wants. When she gets to you, she will confused in many things that she is not used to know about. Especially when she is in a different country. She will face a lot of mental changes and you get to help her on this.

Yes, there is no limit on how many times you can study abroad so long as you can afford it and you can get the visa in time.

Help please from American students in Germany?

Help please from American students in Germany?
I was born in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and would give about anything to go back there to live someday. I had no choice when it came to moving away, because I was young. My mom didn't continue to speak my native language with me, so I'm not as fluent as I would like to be. I can hold a conversation, and I know it would all come back if I lived there for awhile, but I'm worried about pursuing a higher education in Germany and how well I would be able to fair. I'm currently a high school student, so I'm really busy looking into colleges and places where I can study. I know there is a university in Heidelberg, and tons of American students. If there are any American students studying in Germany out there, can you please tell me: Is it possible to go from an American high school to a German university? Do you have to have extensive knowledge of the German language? Is it difficult to support yourself? Any help would be great. Thanks so much.

I can tell you this much that German Universities have now introduce University fees since the 6th July 2006.

Im not american but I have a lot of american friends who study in Bonn.My best friend is american Studying in Germany is actually one of the best decisions you could make for yourself and your family due to the financial aspect. University fees is very little in comparison to other countries. I pay 800 euro per semster and thats on the higher side. There are some international degree programms you can apply for where the language of teaching is english but it totally depends on which field you choose...you didnt state that.... and yes there are quite a number of american students in heidelberg. I know quite a number. Its not very difficult to get a job... if you improve your german, you can always look for a part time job as a translator or an english teacher. The best I can advise you right now is to learn as much german as you can before you come here. Unfortunately your question was a bit vague so I cant answer you in very detailled manner. Wish you all the best :)
