Germany is a highly diverse country. You can choose to live in a city or in the countryside. It is a country for people who love to live in a city, near nature, as well as healthy food and gourmet restaurants.

Germans are said to be somewhat reserved in their interactions with others. This may be true but this is mostly in the case of elders and those who live in smaller towns. In larger cities or places with young people, you will find out that they are very friendly and welcoming of students from abroad.

Whether you want to study in a large city or a quaint town, there are universities available in both scenarios.
