There you are, dreaming of this awesome new thing that will be amazeballs while eating ramen in your shitty flat. Then someone comes and offers you a ton of money to go think about some other stuff for a few years. You figure you can always come back to thinking about the awesome thing, but a few years of eating decent food and living in decent housing would be nice.

Sorry if that's the case, but from my experience living in Germany you can easily afford decent food (in fact there's little bad food, except the artificial American stuff) and housing while going to uni for free (you might even apply for BaFöG and stipends). This would especially apply to you as a bright person.
