Germans are not stupid people. They will adapt. Take advantage of this while it lasts. Not to mention it is not easy to get into German schools either. But if you are at the top of your class you should not have a problem.

Actually in Germany admission into public schools is guaranteed by law. There are lawyers that specialize on suing people's way in. It should cost about 1000 euro.

  Does German law guarantee non-Germans a public education?
  - ma2rten 11y ago
    I think so. I am not a lawyer and I don't even live in Germany, but I did a quick Google search in German. It seems the German constitution explicitly prohibits discrimination based on "national origin".

      That doesn't work on that level. I mean, you need visa to enter, too, which also would be "discrimination based on origin" by that argument (and is a requirement for getting education) The often quoted right to choose place of work/education freely (which the article you linked starts with) clearly says "All Germans have the right...".

  The suing people in is kind of a loophole. A university has to take as many students as it can "service". People then sue and say that the number they accepted was wrong and they actually have capacity left over, and of course in many cases you can find an argument that yes, they could support a few people more if someone in some department would do less research and more teaching, ... So universities often give in and "admit" that they can take some random number more instead of trying to fight a complex lawsuit with unknown results. And possibly add a safety margin in the future, because letting some more people in is easier than proving that their capacity planning was perfect.
