well all i can say is that we pay for our drivinglicens about € 1500,-- and the test is not that easy. most of the cars (especially bmw) are cheaper in the states than here in germany just configer one on bmw.com and the same one on bmw.de you will see differences. and we pay € 1.18 for 1 L of 98 octan gas. so you can say germany is extrem expensive. but we love our autobahn...;o)

I am thinking about doing a study abroad program in Munich...do you think that it a good place for a 20 year old college student to spend 5 months, or would somewhere else in Germany be better?

Yeah that is what I was thinking as well. My great grandparents are from Munich and I have always wanted to go there. Do you think the language barrier is a big problem? I can speak a little German, but not much.

munich is wonderfull, especially the oktoberfest. the language barrier wont be a problem. nearly everybody can speak a bit english so there wont be a problem and you can also talk with your hands and feets. you will never get lost.

Munich is nice, bin there once. When you are located in Germany go visit Hamann and AC Schnitzer in Achen.

Word... I was this year's Oktoberfest and am definately coming back for next. Munich is beautiful by the way and the public transportation is amongst the best I've ever encountered.

germany is a nice place to live but it is very deprecing. it rains all the time , you will never get those really nice usnny days when u can go drive round and such . my aunt lived there for a few years on a u.s army base training yugoslavian to german soldiers and said the life there is too deprecing and such
