oh and how is berlin anyways? from pictures I've seen, it looks to be a very beautiful city... tell me if im right (if you've been there), thank you

Answer 1

Berlin is just great, as far as I can say as a German, and you can acquire a doctor's title or a BA or MA at both of Berlin's most renowned universities, the "Freie Universität" or the Humboldt. I'd give you more information if you just told me what subject you're interested in; there is anything from social studies through maths and physics up to becoming a medic PhD. And German diplomas or BA and MA degrees are renowned worldwide. They're not easy to get, however. A university or FH (Fachhochschule) diploma means hard work and studies.

Answer 2

Being American - being Jewish --- I would not go to Berlin. There are no go areas - where even the police cannot protect you. Violence and crime is a part of the Berlin life style. Then the city is run by communists again: again they are xenophobic in this German city. I would rather study in Hamburg or Cologne.

I got beaten up - and the police did not care.

I don't know if this site may help you about your studies, but you can try ;-)

About Berlin, oh well I was there once in September 2006 and I can say it's GREAT! It's such a huge city and you will love it, well I guess so, since you can do so many things. Of course you should visit the most popular sights first:

- Brandenburger Tor

- Berliner Mauer (The Wall)

- KaDeWe / Kaufhaus des Westens (the biggest mall in Europe I heard)

- Johanneskirche

- Berliner Dom

- Alexander Platz

- take a boat trip and much more

(see more in thei official website: http://www.berlin.de/english )

But if you're going to stay for a longer time of period, then it's good you'll have hopefully plenty of time to visit all those and more. If you have more questions, don't hesitate =)
