Is the German System really something we should emulate? Of the top 100 universities in the world on the 2014 ARWU list, only 4 are in Germany, and the one that tops that list (Heidelberg) is at #49. The U.S. has 52 universities on that list, including 16 of the top 20. The other four in the top 20 are Cambridge at #5, Oxford tied for #9, and ETHZ and UCL at #19 and #20.

There is no university housing at any German university. Only 28 percent of current college age Germans attend university, even though it's free. But since it's free, more than half of those students don't finish their education until their late 20s. And the best these few students can hope for is number 49 in the world. That doesn't seem like a good model to me.
