Abstract
In the past few months, educational experts of all persuasions have been alarming the public with the news that study abroad for German students is in a bad way: Whereas annually more than 52,000 young foreigners attend colleges and universities in the Federal Republic of Germany as guests, according to published reports only 9,500 young Germans annually, i.e., fewer than one-fifth, are enjoying the experience of study abroad. What is worse, the percentage of German students with experience in study abroad seems to be decreasing from year to year, and is gradually approaching a negligible quantity.
