I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind you paying them wherever the hell you reside. I'm sure they have a department to handle incoming payments. Just send it to the correct department. Always make sure you have copies of your checks or in the case of a credit card a copy of the transaction because you never know when they will try to act like you haven't paid them. And if that time comes, you will have the proof.
2 :
Yes you can pay off your student loans while living in Germany, that is, if you can afford moving to Germany. If you can, then by all means go. When you are in Germany, you'll probably have to wire money to a bank account in the US which the University/College/Student Loans office would feed out of. To set something like this up it is best that you go to your bank and talk with someone who is a professional.
3 :
I think you have to check to see if they even let you stay away from the US for more than a specified amount of time! When there is a debt issue involved, usually they don't like to see the one who is in debt is living anywhere other than the US. They obviously might think that it would be harder to track you down and if you leave, you might not show up and never pay back your loans!

Here are some very reputable organizations that offer programs in Germany. You can contact each organization and ask for testimonials from previous studnets, if you want. High School: http://www.highschoolprogramsabroad.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/39409 http://www.highschoolprogramsabroad.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/19614 http://www.highschoolprogramsabroad.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/11172 College: http://www.studyabroaddirectory.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/593 http://www.studyabroaddirectory.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/30237 http://www.studyabroaddirectory.com/listingsp3.cfm/listing/8027 I would definitely recommend that you study abroad in Germany if you can. It will be an unbelievable experience and you'll never regret it! Good luck ..

I'm going to be an exchange student in Germany, but track is important, what kind of teams do they have?
I'm going to be an exchange student in Germany, but track is important, what kind of teams do they have?
I have heard that high school teams are unavailable in Germany, and that they only have club teams. Is this true? Are these teams satisfactory? Running is more than a hobby for me, it is a career choice. Please give me as much detail as possible concerning the opportunities and practice schedules of cross country/track teams for high school athletes in Germany.

Generally speaking, in Germany and most of Europe, school sports are not at any height as here in America. Their is no school soccer(football) team that everyone goes to. Simply it is because school's are generally educational strictly in Europe and you can take gym where you learn sports. Don't get me wrong though, Germany is one of the most athletic nations in the world, if not the most. Soccer is HUGE in Germany, along with winter sports (Skiing especially), and track sports as you said yourself, it is just that normally you have to join some sort of club, that can cost money.

What can you tell an American student about studying at the Catholic University of Germany in Eichstatt?
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.
2 :
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!
