   Contents: 
    => 12.1 General remarks 
    => 12.2 Foreign Embassies in the FRG 
    => 12.3 Embassies and Consulates General of the FRG 
    => 12.4 Other Foreign Affairs Institutions 

   Some basic background; lots of addresses.  "Federal Republic of
   Germany" is abbreviated by "FRG" 


Subject: 12.1 General remarks
-----------------------------

   The German Consulates are very helpful in getting information about
   anything concerning Germany (travel, politics, laws ...)  They're
   very thorough and supply lots of information in response to
   requests.  Among other things: 

     o info about quarantine questions (importing pets) 
     o all German phonebooks available 
     o business/government directories 

   They also sponsor the German Information Center (address in the
   Newspapers section ).  
     <http://langlab.uta.edu/langpages/Germany.html>

   For background and general information on Germany the German
   Embassies will send anyone a complimentary copy of the booklet
   "Facts about Germany." 

   There is a list of all embassies/consulates in the US.  You get it
   from the Department of State.  Its title is "Foreign Consular
   Offices in the United States" and it contains addresses, names of
   the staff and phone numbers.  You might find the booklet in most
   public libraries.  

   For quite a lot more embassies and consulates (etc.,) besides those
   related to the FRG, try globescope's embassy page!

   departments, affiliated organizations, as well as academic staff
   with respective general areas of specialization (e.g.  structural
   mechanics).  [3/94] 

   **Rankings** 

   There are no rankings for German universities in the "American"
   sense of the word, with widely accepted institutionalized reference
   listings.  Some news magazines have picked up the habit of running
   annual surveys (you figure out their models;-) The two most
   typically employed methods are inqueries on faculty level about
   "the best other-than-your-own" unversity (in their field of
   expertise) and on students level about the quality of their school
   as they perceive it.  [03/96] 


Subject: 14.2.2 Studying at a German University; Exchange Programs
------------------------------------------------------------------

   Foreign students from a large number of countries who want to study
   **after high school** at a German university or "Fachhochschule"
   need to attend the "Studienkolleg" for two semesters and pass an
   examination.  Tuition at a "Studienkolleg" is free.  Information
   about "Studienkollegs" in Germany: 

   Guenther Miklitz, Studienkolleg fuer auslaendische Studierende, an
   der Universitaet Bonn, email usa000@ibm.rhrz.uni-bonn.de [11/94] 

   Although the German educational system is quite different from the
   US system (no degree until a masters equivalent etc.,) it's still
   possible to obtain a German degree with non-German background.  The
   place to contact is the "Auslandsamt" (foreign office) of the
   involved universities.  

   Usually it is easier to just go with an organized program. 
   Especially since these programs usually guarantee some sort of
   credit transfer which is (depending on your home university) hard
   to impossible to get otherwise.  Some programs also include special
   classes (sometimes in English, sometimes German classes for
   foreigners...)  which will otherwise not be offered -- German
   students are supposed to find their own way through the "university
   jungle"...  

   The big advantage of going alone is the financial aspect. 
   Education in Germany is **basically free** i.e.  university
   students pay a nominal tuition of typically approximately US$30 a
   semester for their education (plus books, living expenses and the
   usual public transportation -- all of which amounts to an
   (estimated) US$600-900 a month, less in the eastern part of
   Germany.)  Students in Germany typically live in (shared)
   apartments, dorm rooms are only available for about 3-8% of the
   students (these numbers being higher in the east).  Getting a dorm
   room is often included in organized programs, I suppose it will be
   hard to find one, if you're on your own, but your can always try. 
   (Getting a dorm room will probably save about US$100/month.) 
   [3/95] 

   A specific remark: 
   For students of subjects related to economy the AIESEC organization
   may be a valuable pointer!  In Germany you can try, e.g., 


       Deutsches Komitee der AIESEC e.V.
       Subbelrather Str. 247
       50825 Koeln
       tel +49(221)551056

   and most universities should be able to help locate local branches.

------------------------------

   The Volkshochschulen are evening schools open to everybody.  For a
   modest fee of some amount (from around DM 20 to maybe DM 200;
   depends much on the type of course you choose) they offer courses
   to further your professional background, to prepare for taking the
   "Abitur" examination, or for plain pleasure and hobby interests.
