I enjoyed reading this as someone that years ago had the experience of being a student in Germany from another Western country. One technical problem is that whatever web CMS was used for this page has trouble with anything non-ASCII and simply omits it, which affects not just the expected umlauts but also quotes and M-dashes and quotes.
The result makes reading this piece more laborious than necessary, but then the linked article does link at the end to the original: http://cdi.uvm.edu/book/uvmcdi-21528#page/29/mode/1up http://cdi.uvm.edu/book/uvmcdi-21528#page/29/mode/1up

- poulsbohemian 4y agoAs an American student who was at a German uni in 1998, there was still a lot of this that felt very familiar. At minimum, it fell in line with everything I'd ever heard about traditional / historic life at German universities. It made me a bit sad, as I had a professor I was close to who passed away a few years ago and he would have found this article charming.
