Of course, universities are not free, not even in Germany. We, the people, pay for them with our taxes. And that's a good thing. Because we, the people, have decided that it makes much more sense to keep the stupid out of university, and not the poor.
Nothing is free in this world, not even German universities. We just split the cost between all of us which makes it affordable to anyone who has the intellectual capacity.

There's another benefit of being a student in Germany: You don't have to worry about health insurance until the age of 25 either, because you are covered by your parents' insurance. And after that, there are special offers for students that are much more affordable than regular health insurance fees. So being a student as long as possible also pays off in this regard.

Yes, the "free admission courses" are overcrowded, but only in the first 2 semesters or so. The homework and the exams are intentionally brutal in the first semesters, to encourage the weakest students to leave on their own. Additionally, there is a rule that you must pass certain basic exams before you reach a certain semester, otherwise you get automatically kicked out entirely.

Also here in germany those "nice and private unis" don't usually have a better reputation (Goethe Uni in Frankfurt has a very very good rep and it's not private) because "well you just bought your degree with all the money you are able to spend"

Child benefit payments is "Kindergeld" in German. It's governmental money all parents get each month for each child. It's 219 € for the first and second child, 225 € for the third and 250 € for each further child. I think all European countries have sort of a "Kindergeld".
The channel "My Merry Messy Life" has a playlist about raising kids in Germany with some videos about the school system. They are an American family with 4 kids who live in Germany.

Many companys in germany even have dual systems where you learn your profession and study at the same time towards a bachelor degree while getting paid.

Our words are actually not longer than English, we just combine them together, so the meaning becomes one entity, to avoid misunderstandings, i.e. "In a land men ship" vs. "In a landmenship" (so do the men use a ship to ship on a lake or are they shipping packages or is it in a landmenship?) or other multiple interpretations. Like the word from the video above in "Landsmannschaften", would be literally in English "Land men ships" or "Country fellow ships". If English would use compound words, it would also look long like "Countryfellowships". See ... 😀 With compound words, however, you can always create new words, similar to a Lego system, if there is no previous equivalent for them yet.

child benefit payment or Kindergeld is money you get for every child you have. for the first child you get 219 Euro per month, for the second 225 Euro per month and for every kid after that 250 Euro per month. every familie gets this money until the child is 18. If the child is still studying, doing an apprenticeship or is unemployed, then you can extend it to 25 years

3:00 Admission limitations are subject-based not institution based. At the same university you can successfully apply for Geography (because its unlimited access) but maybe not for Medicine or Law, if you don´t meet the minimum highschool exams average grade (Latin: Numerus clausus) that is required for the respective subject.

Consider this, teachers are among those college studies that need a state exam in Germany. Maybe that's why they are paid almost 4 times the wage of a UUS teacher. And the system is still cheaper then the US system... ;)

Thanks for sharing your reaction! A few pointers if I may:
DW is short for Deutsche Welle (German Wave), a German broadcasting service aimed at intercultural efforts. The presenter, Rachel Stewart, is in fact a British journalist who has moved to Germany permanently after finding her life partner here.
The "Numerus Clausus" or minimum grade bar for entering certain university courses actually means that you have to reach a minimum grade to enter college the following semester. If you don't qualify, there is still a way to get in later if you wait long enough and keep your application open. The length of this wait depends on how much your grade is below the bar.
German nouns are frequently rather long because compounds are written as one word and using nouns instead of verbs is frequent. Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz consist of the nouns Bund for federation, Ausbildung for education, Förderung for promotion and Gesetz for law or bill. In English that would rather be "federal law for promoting education".

05:46 I feel that is also a bit of a culture difference here.
From what we are shown of the US, it is desired to go to college / University, no matter what you are doing afterwards in your life.
While that is also a thing in germany, waaaaaay more people will rather take an apprenticeship or learn a trade then attend college just for the purpose of having been to college.
Meaning: Way more college and University Students will actually make their master to DO something with it later.

The University of Bologna in Italy is the most ancient University (western concept) in the world and dates back in the 1080.

"Staatsexamen" is not only there to test the educational requirements but also a judgement of character. The exam is for people who will be handling people without all around supervision. Like teachers, doctors, clerics, etc. You don't wand lunatics in such positions, specially not very smart or good educated one. :-)

7:54 No, a WG is literally any 2 or more people living in a shared appartment, students or not. It's a relatively popular form of living for younger people, also bc people tend to rent rather than buy in Germany. Dorms also exist but those are usually state owned and subsidised and for students only. Okay, just watched the next seconds and yeah, that's what dorms look like. Some have shared kitchen and even bathroom spaces (extremely cheap but also quite rare), some are tiny appartments with their own kitchen areas and bathrooms (the most common version, I'd think) and some actually offer fairly large flats, for a student anyways. I used to live in one of the middle ones, which was modernised and turned into a dorm of the latter much larger variety after I moved out.

One hugh difference to most US and english universities is, that germany doesn't have a campus style. Universities are usually seeded throughout the city with faculties, libraries and lecture halls often seperated by normal city blocks. There are no official dormitories offered by the university. The are dormitory like appartment housing but most students live scattered all over the city.

The reason 90% of German students do a Master's Degree is because employers tend to be more old-fashioned and you are unlikely to get a good job with just a Bachelor degree. In the old diploma system the diploma was roughly equivalent to a Master's while the Bachelor degree was equivalent to a worthless (in Germany) Vordiplom or pre-diploma.
A friend of mine moved to the USA after her Vordiplom (that was in the '80s) and the US authorities said it is the same as one of their Bachelor Degrees.

Studying law at the highest level in Germany also concludes with a state exam, or rather the first state exam (because there is another state exam if you want to become a lawyer, judge or state attorney and you take that exam after 2 years of clerkship with your state, i.e. Bavaria, Hamburg, Berlin or another state in Germany). Both state exams are absolutely brutal and rightfully feared, at least in Bavaria.

Yeh see, this way a kid with poor parents who could become a brilliant neurosurgeon CAN actually become a brilliant neurosurgeon!

As US citizen studying medicine in Germany, I alternate between tears and laughter every semester when I happily pay my 314EUR and reflect on how much this opportunity has changed my life. Before I left the US at 23, I was working 3 jobs and studying full-time at a relatively affordable state school (with a really great scholarship, as well!), and I was falling apart. It has been less stressful to literally learn another language in my mid-20s, move abroad, and get into medical school in another country than to survive the US system. Additionally, I should add that I have no plans to move back to the US after finishing my training. I'm genuinely grateful for the opportunities that Germany has given me, and, as cheesy as it sounds, I will happily work and pay my taxes here.
