Don't leave your education solely to the university. Don't learn any European languages, they all speak English in Europe, I'd trade my German degree for a Chinese / Japanese degree any day of the week.

Spanish isn't a bad one to know if you live in the US. I decided to switch to Spanish while on a trip to Germany during college :)
