Should I do my bachelors or masters degree in Germany? I want to study in both USA and Germany but idk when to do each.?

I m a senior in high school trying to decide this. I love learning languages (French and German) and also linguistics and music. This is what I want to study after high school. My german is probably at the B2 level (I haven t taken a test yet to know for sure tho) I want to improve my german and immerse myself in a new culture and be able to experience new things, but at the same time that s really scary to be that far away and might be overwhelming to take classes in german and hear mostly german. Plus, I also don t wanna miss out on that American college life ya know. Please help me Idk what to do or how I should go about deciding this. If I were to stay in America for bachelors, I would study abroad my sophomore year probably

    German universities do not offer Music as a subject. Linguistics is offered of course, that is a very well respected degree. However, it would be the study of one or more non German languages. How would that be helpful to you?

    I recommend you attend a US university that is known for its Music so that you can continue with that. Chose Linguistics as your major and select French and German as your languages of study. Then consider doing a semester or year abroad in either France or Germany. Presume you know that German dialects are very different around the country?

    To study in Germany, you will need to be fluent in German at a high academic-technical level of proficiency. University entrance exams, reputed to be among the world's most difficult, are in German, of course. So is the visa interview. Your best bet would be a "junior year abroad" or summer session in Germany through a university partnered with your US university. Through a university partnership program, your course credits will apply to your "home" university's degree.

    If you aren't already fluent in German to a high technical level, studying in Germany won't be an option.
