For foreign students in Germany, the greatest difficulties \u2013 besides integrating themselves into German society \u2013 are financing and organizing their course of studies. Understanding the German university system and its requirements is difficult even for German secondary school graduates. “In foreign students’ home countries, the system of studies is often the same as it was in school, and therefore clearer and more straightforward,” says Achim Meyer auf der Heyde, General Secretary of the Student Union Organization. Forty percent of foreign students admit to having difficulty orienting themselves in Germany.”<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Ebitsch, Sabrina, \u201cAuslaendische Studenten leiden unter der Buerokratie an deutschen Universitaeten.
