In the past few decades, some states introduced modest tuition fees—usually 500 Euros per semester. However, the fees proved so unpopular that they have since been abolished. As of October 2014, all public universities are again tuition-free, even for foreign students. Apart from cost, there are other signi cant di erences between German and American university life. German universities typically o er only a limited amount of dormitory housing. Most students live o campus, either commuting from home or renting an apartment shared with other students. Unlike in most American universities, students must decide on a major before they begin their studies, and there is little exibility in the choice of courses. In the past few decades, there has been an initiative to standardize degree requirements between countries. Part of this restructuring has included a push to transition from 4- to 6-year Diplom and Magister 2 degrees to 3-year Bachelor degrees. is change has been met with resistance from students, including complaints that it simply compresses the original curriculum into a shorter time frame. Many students also object to the shi toward a heavier workload with more frequent testing. e percentage of students studying at private universities remains very small, but it is gradually increasing. Whereas public universities have had problems with overcrowding, private institutions can o er smaller class sizes, giving students more contact with professors.
