Yes, it’s more or less true.
Since last year it depends on in which federal state you study. As far as I know Berlin, Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Rheinland-Pfalz, Sachsen-Anhalt, Sachsen, Thüringen and Schleswig-Holstein have no tuition fees. Some universities in these federal states are for instance:
- Friedrich Schiller Universität Jena
- Technische Universität Dresden
- Universität Leipzig
- Humboldt-Universität Berlin
…
(And you don’t need very good grades for all subjects *g*).

The fees for the universities in all other federal states in Germany are about 500 Euro per term (half year).

Unfortunately no more. Tuition fees which are annual about around the 1000 euros are raised by federal state to federal state recently. But nevertheless there are possibilities that one nothing needs to pay. Is very complicated.

It's completely true!.. Many colleges in Europe offer no-tuition colleges.. and they''re as good as American ones. Some friends of mine from europe say that those universities are even better than those in the USA
