There is a lot more interesting stuff in the article than what you list. The title is central point of the article, I don't see why it's dumb.

- Mithaldu 11y agoBy shaping it in the form of a question asking "how?", the author makes it seems as if there is anything of any substance to the how. The reader who does not know that it's simply free will assume that there is something special about the students, or something special they might need to do and clicks on the link to find out what that special thing is. The bait is accepted, and the trap is sprung, ad impressions are achieved and the reader learns the banal truth: There is nothing special to do or be beyond being human beings and educated enough to be accepted by a german school. Stating outright in the title "All students get a university degree for free in Germany" would be honest and forthright, saving someone maybe a few minutes if they don't need to know anything more. But it is not used because it would result in less clicks for the author and less ad impressions. It is clickbait.
- tmalsburg2 11y agoI think you didn't read the article carefully enough. There is a precise list of things you have to do in order to get into a German university in the middle of the article. It's titled "How to apply in Germany." Also there is a lot of useful information about typical rents, expenses for groceries, etc. and there are a number of links to very rich resources with more details. I think this article is an excellent starting point for anyone who is considering to study in Germany.
