Can an English student study at an American university?

Should I study in a German University?

• Hey. I am a Lebanese high school student and will be soon applying to universities. I have been studying in English since I was a kid and we have an excellent university in Lebanon( AUB). So, my original plan was to study in AUB( American University of Beirut), which is ranked 341 in QS rankings. However, my father has recently been implying that I should study in Germany as a degree their is much much better than one here, especially in engineering and technology( which is what I intend to study). I've been doing some research and it turns out that the top universities in Germany are all German-Language(Technical University of Munich...) and the English universities aren't that "top". So, do you think that I should learn German and put some effort just in order to study in Germany? I don't want all the subjects I learned in school in English to go to waste and I don't want to have to put more effort in learning another language next to English, French and Arabic, but German universities seem to be calling to me. What do you think I should do?

• Answer:

  well , let's see if u decided to study in a german universities : 1.In order to start something , you probably need to prepare in some sort of German language course in either your country or German. Probably take a few months or year.. 2. You apply to German Universities . Assuming Lebanese's High school's diploma only take 12 years time, you probably required to spend a year in a Studienkolleg ( foundation course for foreign student who decide to enter ) . 3. Enter Uni . That will probably eat up 2 years of your time . I'm not gonna say "no don't go" , coz learning foreign language in no way a 'waste' of your time. But if you're very confident of your previous language (english..etc) , you shuldn't be afraid of loosing it . It's gonna come back with a lil'practice .. just like bicyle =)
