Hey I'm British and looking to study in Germany too. I am living in Germany right now as a matter of fact. To study here you need to pass a language test so I've been doing an intensive preperation course at the Uni for the test. I really really love the Uni here, I'm very impressed with it(Hannover).It's just so big and diverse and best of all totally FREE!! You also get much more time in Uni and longer terms. I did 1 year in English uni and everything just felt like such a rip off. The Halls here are also incredibly cheap too compared to in England..even alcohol is about 3x cheaper. Everything here is just so much damn better for students in my opinion. I never understood the term "Rip-Off Britain" until i left. I wish all the best to any British student wanting to study abroad, especially in Germany; nobody should ever have to pay 9K for public University!!
