STUDYING IN GERMANY
Germany’s global impact is immense. Not only is it one of the world’s leading economies, its culture has produced Beethoven, Dürer, Goethe, Luther, Marx—-as well as the brothers Grimm. Its architecture encompasses mountainside castles, timbered Bavarian villages, Roman ruins, Gothic cathedrals and the most modern skyscrapers. Yet with so much cultural diversity, German citizens are almost uniformly mannerly and law-abiding (they will not even jaywalk), though they can be startlingly frank in expressing their opinions. Germans are active; one-third of them belong to a sports club devoted to cycling, hiking or skiing. And though the national diet is notorious for meat-and-potatoes heaviness, younger Germans are increasingly interested in international cuisines.
School
School generally runs from late August to late June. Classes begin at 7:30 or 8:00 a.m. and go to 1:00 or 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Some areas also have school on Saturday. There are two-week vacations at Christmas and Easter and a one-week vacation in the fall.
LIVING IN GERMANY
Lifestyle and Family Living
Germans are known for being industrious, thrifty, hardworking and orderly, and they appreciate punctuality and privacy. Most of them are actively engaged in their social life, community or school life. People are very interested to talk about politics, culture, environment or sports.
Dress and Appearance
German teens dress in a style similar to teenagers elsewhere; they wear jeans, T-shirts, sweaters and sportswear. In winter, warm clothing such as a heavy jacket, heavy sweaters, woolen tights or long underwear, thick socks, gloves, scarves and boots are appropriate. For special occasions, more formal dress is expected: for girls a dress or blouse and skirt or fancy pants; for boys a jacket, slacks and tie.
