Why are you going to Germany?
Do you currently live there? Are you fluent enough to skip studienkolleg?
German universities deliver excellent content in bare -bones conditions.
Three main issues :

if you don’t have European citizenship it’ll be difficult for you to get internships

there’s massive weeding - typically half to 2/3 students get F 's. It’s kind of 'normal’to fail and repeat courses there… Except in the US, it’s be hugely detrimental.

you can’t do research till the Master’s level, which is why it’s better to apply to graduate schools with a European Master’s. However, it means 6 years or so till you can apply.
