I was born in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and would give about anything to go back there to live someday. I had no choice when it came to moving away, because I was young. My mom didn’t continue to speak my native language with me, so I’m not as fluent as I would like to be. I can hold a conversation, and I know it would all come back if I lived there for awhile, but I’m worried about pursuing a higher education in Germany and how well I would be able to fair. I’m currently a high school student, so I’m really busy looking into colleges and places where I can study. I know there is a university in Heidelberg, and tons of American students. If there are any American students studying in Germany out there, can you please tell me:

Is it possible to go from an American high school to a German university?

Do you have to have extensive knowledge of the German language?

Is it difficult to support yourself?

Any help would be great. Thanks so much.
