Surveys by sociologists at the University of Konstanz indicate that for people who are the first individuals in their families to attend university, there are two serious problems: financing their studies and employment. The current education reforms in Germany could make these difficulties even worse. Seven German states have started charging students for tuition, and these charges could be one additional factor in scaring off prospective students for whom financing their studies is already a problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Reinbold, Fabian, \u201cGeschlossene Gesellschaft,\u201d Die Zeit, 5 June 2008.<\/p>\n *The Technical University of Munich, officially recognized by the German government as an \u201celite university,\u201d is ranked 67 among the world\u2019s universities.
