Any info on studying in Germany for a year? I am taking a break from studying in college in the US.

@_A_L_3X Nope, sorry. I've been to Munich only once and slept at Burschenschaft Alemannia, they're not worth it.
My knowledge about the frats of Southern Germany is limited. They fence a lot, are very conservative, don't drink beer as quickly as most others and some are easily offended cucks. My advice is this: Are you up for academic fencing? Great, because Munich has pretty much no decent Korporation that is fakultativ-schlagend, meaning you have to learn academic fencing but the amount of real "duels" is up to you. If not you could look for one that is nichtschlagend, but most of them are Christian frats or other cucks. Other than that I'd choose the least conservative frat you could possibly find. Sounds counter-intuitive within TRP? It isn't. Conservative frats are very much up their ass, boring and you won't have a lot of fun unless you like Heil-ing while you clink glasses. Some of them are even under observation by the Verfassungsschutz, namely Danubia in Munich. Be ready to drink beer and large amounts of it. It's part of the experience and you won't do it for a long time anyway. In the end the community, the people within the fraternity you choose are way more important than the Verbindung itself. Make sure they're a bunch of cool guys you get along with and you'll probably have a good time.
Read More@JuengerJuenger Do you have any reccomendations for munich then? I will be studying at the TUM.
@_A_L_3X if you need help choosing one, feel free to hit me up. Not all frats are decent. Besides that make sure to try and join one as soon as you pick up your studies as you definitely need some spare free time.
@JuengerJuenger I will be joining one next year. I already thought of living in a dorm, just to get myself out there.
@_A_L_3X Practice, practice, practice. Germans seem to be rather bad at small talk in general. I think it's part of the culture for people to be more withdrawn when facing strangers than for instance Americans are.
Also if you by chance are attending university, join a decent frat. Your social skills will improve.
@Baltazar the thing is: I AM GERMAN, so i do know kulture and nuances, i just seem to be sort of autitiscit with it. nontheless thank you.
@_A_L_3X I recommend to start reading comics for small talk (Lustiges Taschenbuch series) and it is a good intro into German culture and nuances. Forget about german movies in my opinion.
HELP!!! Guys I have a big problem with the german language. I am not able to small talk, be funny, or basicaly get anything across that isnt shitty sounding and beta. The weird thing is that i have no problem doing that in any other languages (English, Polish). What can i do to change that?
