To honest, I am very good with money and know I can manage it well. Due to personal reasons I don't and will not drink and I know that my cousin spends a lot of money on beer at university and for I will not have that unnecessary expenditure. Thanks for the replies! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

These depend on the person, and these are the easiest to practise at home by writing on lang-8 and listening to lectures/podcasts online. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

A while ago, I did a survey of French and American universities. I tried to convert TOEFL requirements, etc., into the equivalent CEFRL ranges. Here's what I found, very roughly speaking:
B2: You can get admitted into many second-tier universities as a foreign student, but the first semester or two may be pretty challenging. C1: You can generally be admitted into top-tier universities as an undergraduate: the Ivy League, the grandes écoles, etc., provided that you meet their other admission criteria. C2: You can generally enroll in law school or graduate-level humanities programs. If you arrive at B2, and you speak your target language full-time, I suspect that you will reach C1 fairly quickly. Obviously, living with TL speakers would be a good idea: One common weakness of learning a language quickly, outside of the country, is that you don't always get a chance to build really fluent speaking skills. But living in an all-TL environment helps tremendously with that, in my experience. 4 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Should be about right, in my experience. However, no money for bus, since your ticket is already included in your university fee (pretty convenient actually) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

If I don't study in Germany for my bachelors degree then I might study in Germany for a master or alternatively just
have a gap year and live there for a year. Edited by EnglishEagle on 08 June 2014 at 9:43pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
