    Yes, I know, very poorly worded, but what I'm trying to see is if there's good night-life and if it is easy to make friends if you're studying in a non-English speaking country. I'm looking at this course currently http://www.eunicas.ie/index.php/euni...media-570.html and wondering if I take it, will there be many others that I can converse with? I'm very computer-oriented as you have probably guessed but the concept of a German university worries me simply because there won't be many English speakers there too. Can anyone confirm/deny?

    Google ex-pat community and where the course is
    also as the course is linked with a uni in CorkIreland then there should be people on the course as well.

    most German university students today speak very good English.

    Yes Germans speak English well. No worries there. You'll meet new people and cultures too, which can be good.

    True. I just don't want to feel particularly outcast since it's not exactly in my comfort zone living so far away! I guess that's a given though :P Thank you!
