Not only safe, but Germany is also politically and economically very stable and has been stable over the years. Germany was also ranked as the 3rd most stable and 4th in the best countries by the US news. So we can conclude that going to Germany is safer than most other countries.

4. International exposure:-

I know that each country that has international students offer diversity so does Germany. So why are we talking specifically about this? Let's talk about numbers. One of the most famous destinations, the USA accounts for 4.6% of international students among all of its students. 

How much percent does Germany have? You wouldn't even be able to take a wild guess as the percentage of international students to all students in Germany is 14% from over 75 different nations. That is a big number and so we can guess the type of international exposure and diversity that you will experience in Germany.

5. Sorted Expenses:

We discussed above that there is no tuition fee in certain public universities. But still, there are other expenses like living expenses, and travel expenses. These can be managed by working while you are studying. In Germany, you can work for 20 hours a week or 120 days a year.
