I can confirm most of this, also talking from personal experience during my Bachelor and Masters studies. The majority of Non-EU students that come here seem to have a very hard time. I have no idea how they passed the German language test, most of them speak very little german, definitely not enough to fully understand a lecture held in German. Their prior education is not comparable to the required standard that native students must meet, so most of them are doing rather badly grade-wise. When i talk to them, most of them state they wish to return to their home country once they finish their degree here. Needless to say, there are exceptions to the rule that hustle hard, excel and plan to stay in Germany once they finish. In summary: Germany seems to get the B or C level bunch of students, while the A level students go to the US or the UK.
