So I’m a 25 American woman and thinking about studying in Germany due to the tuition rates and wanting to improve language skills. I understand the basics like proof of stability with a bank account, student visa, showing I have a place to live. But is there anything else I should know? Also I’m a bit shy speaking German I’m scared imma sound like Applejack trying to. Also do I need to buy a car when I go over? I’m planning to stay 2-3 years and I know walking is a obvious a thing there but is it safe? Also what’s the driving like? For context I grew up with DFW driving so I’m use to crazy drivers and speed lol. Am I making a mistake in moving?
