Most universities in Germany have a history of hundreds of years and are located in cities with good humanistic environment and beautiful natural environment. Excellent teaching, research and living facilities provide objective material guarantee for students to successfully complete their college studies.

Most schools in Germany are public schools, and there are few private schools. Except for the public universities in Baden-Wü rttemberg, which charge 1.500 euros per semester (less than 1.2000 yuan), other public universities only charge a small amount of semester fees. General undergraduates need to take 180-240 credits, and master students need to take 90- 120 credits. Usually three years for undergraduate and two years for postgraduate.

If you want to ask what it is like to go to school in Germany, you must be inseparable from these two key words: adulthood and liberalization.

Both undergraduate and graduate students in German universities look mature. Moreover, there is no "counselor" in Germany. Everything revolves around the individual, and no one will limit your hairstyle and dress. German universities are an adult society, not an upgraded high school. Liberalization means that most universities have no walls and campuses. You can go out of the classroom directly after class, go shopping, drink coffee and buy food. Learning is not the whole of reading. Of course, freedom also includes the freedom to choose courses and take exams. If you are not ready, you can give up the exam and prepare for the next exam.

Besides going to school, Germany is still a country worth exploring. If the arrangement is reasonable, amateur life will not be as boring as imagined. First of all, there are many museums in major cities in Germany. Take Berlin as an example. I have an annual ticket. I have nothing to do on weekends. It is quite interesting to invite one or two friends to visit museums. In addition, there are many green spaces and streams. Lying in the sun and drinking beer may be one of the favorite things for Germans to do. Take some fruits and favorite books, go to the park for a picnic and bask in the sun, and even take a swimsuit to swim in the river. If you have spare capacity, you can take a part-time job. The policy stipulates that the working hours of college students should not exceed 20 hours per week and 120 days per year, which also ensures everyone's study time.

Italy

Italy is located in southern Europe, on the northern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. For centuries, it has been the center of European cultural exchanges and the birthplace of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci, Dante and Michelangelo all made great contributions to the development of human civilization. Today, as a fashion country and art place in the world, Italy attracts more and more parents and children with its rich historical and cultural atmosphere, low living expenses and friendly policies for China students.

So what's it like to live and study in Italy?

First of all, Italian schools adopt the credit system, generally three years for undergraduate students and two years for graduate students. If you can't complete the credits within the prescribed time limit, you need to postpone graduation. After 2005, the Italian Ministry of Education, together with all Italian public universities, launched a special project for China students-the Kyle Polo Project. Applicants can apply as long as their college entrance examination scores are above 380, and they have a high school diploma or a vocational high school diploma.

However, the road to learning after entering the university is not so easy. Because of language problems, many students in China have a little knowledge of the content of the class, and even can't understand the topic of the written test, so naturally they can't pass the exam. In addition, the Italian test basically examines whether students understand and can skillfully use theoretical knowledge. Many of our students in China are memorizing knowledge points, and their theoretical understanding is not thorough, so it is difficult to pass the exam. There are also some students who let their parents go abroad, skip classes, do homework and take exams. Although Italian teachers don't have certain requirements for students' attendance and homework submission like Mr. China, it doesn't matter whether you come to class or not when the exam questions are given. The result of laissez-faire is naturally "failing". It is suggested that students who plan to study in Italy must lay a good foundation in language, pay attention to study planning, and dare to ask questions about knowledge points they don't understand thoroughly in order to study professionally smoothly.

In terms of life, Italy, as a famous food country, has many natural foods and many Chinese restaurants, so there will be many fewer food problems. At the same time, Italy has a long history and rich culture, which is very suitable for international students to improve their self-cultivation and broaden their horizons.

France

France is located in the west of Europe, bordering the Atlantic Ocean in the west, the North Sea in the English Channel in the northwest, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany in the northeast, Switzerland in the east, Italy in the southeast, the Mediterranean Sea in the south and Spain in the south. It is the largest country in western Europe.

The cost of studying in France is relatively low, and most public universities do not charge tuition fees, and they charge a registration fee of 2000-4000 euros every year. The rental fee is 200-600 euros/month in addition to 500 euros/month in Paris. If you want to apply for a bachelor's degree in a French university, you must take the college entrance examination with a score of not less than 450; If you apply for a postgraduate degree, you can apply directly after completing your undergraduate studies. The proportion of international students in French universities is low, accounting for about 10% of all students, and the number of international students is increasing year by year.

In terms of learning, unlike most universities in China, French universities have no syllabus and unified teaching materials, and each teacher will have his own set of teaching methods. Therefore, it is very important to take notes in class. However, it is not easy to pass the exam by taking good notes with bare backs. Exams can't just rely on rote memorization. Extrapolation and synthesis are needed, which requires students' thinking ability and logical thinking.

In life, most students choose to eat in the canteen or cook by themselves. Canteen is subsidized by the government, so it is generally very cheap and there are many varieties. However, students in China can't live without Chinese food. Except for going to Chinese restaurants occasionally, most people choose to cook by themselves. On weekends or holidays, invite friends to have dinner in the suburbs, or visit nearby cities and countries to relax.
