German universities offer Batchelors and Masters programs almost for free - literally just a few hundred Euros per semester.

The language barrier obviously might be an issue. I know it's certainly possible (common, even) to take Masters programs offered completely in English, so I would assume English language Batchelors programs are also available, though might be harder to find.

The language barrier is becoming less and less of an issue (for English speakers).

> Universities in the United States should watch out. It won’t be long before Americans realize that top European schools offer a fast-growing number of bachelor’s and master’s degrees, taught entirely in English, for a fraction of the price of many American schools, even if you add on overseas airfare. (In 2009, there were about 55 English B.A.’s offered in Continental Europe; by 2017, there were 2,900.) - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/10/opinion/sunday/europeans-...

That's encouraging, could there ever be enough pressure to lower prices here?
As a German, I can second this. There are quite a few people who start studying with 32. You will have a Bachelor with 35 and a master with 37. That's fine enough. And basically there is nothing which prevents you from working next to studying.

I strongly recommend to study at a "presence" university, not remote. It is way easier to keep on the ball and to talk with peers.

I'll research that. Thanks. I hope I can find English speaking school, if not, happy to study German for a while.
Just look for universities where undergraduate lectures are hold in English. I guess there are some where English is dominating starting from the third semester.
