Comment Germany all the way! (Score 1) 2349
I'm moving to Germany in August and I can't wait! I was accepted to graduate school there. This is the perfect vehicle for my escape! I haven't been able to before now because I'm at university in New Hampshire. At least I'm in a blue state!
Germany is the perfect place for a person like me - green party member, metalhead, general misfit...
(let me say as a disclaimer that I am marrying a German citizen in July and I have always loved German culture)
First of all, I will be much closer to the hot metal scene in Northern Europe, which is great for me. :) (but not for everyone)
Second, I will be moving to one of the most environmentally friendly countries. They have a country-wide composting and recycling program! Not to mention the widespread implementation of sustainable forestry practices and alternate power derivations (wind, mostly).
Also the speed-limitless pieces of the Autobahn, de facto decriminalization of Marijuana, and beer, beer, beer.
This is also a great position for international travel. I'm going to be smack dab in the middle of europe (just south of Berlin, actually). I already have plans to travel around.
Also, Germany is a powerhouse for my profession (landscape architecture) and my fiance's profession (electrical engineering/computer science). We read somewhere that Dresden has been called the Silicon Valley of europe. Perhaps...
Germany has a variety of climates as well, from the cool dry alps in the south to the warmer humid maritime climate in the north.
The graduate program is prime, too. It was created since reunification, so it's only about 10 years old. It's an English-spoken program and it's FREE. :) I already speak some German, but it's nice to know that language won't be a barrier to my success. I bet there are others out there like it.
Clearly this is a very good choice for us, maybe for others too.
