not sure about the student figures given for 1980s and 1990s; there was (still is?) a discrepancy between the nominal number of "student places" and the actual number of students enrolled; during the 1990s there were still more than 60,000 students, but about 40,000 official places; this number has been cut (several times?), and I think the absolute number of students has also begun to drop.Ianb 07:17, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: There is so much self-promoting, unobjective bullshit obviously written by the university it doesn't read like an encyclopedia article at all. Also, WTF is a "top-university". Garbage. YusufAlBinVeryNaughty (talk) 10:46, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Free University of Berlin →  – The university still exclusively uses its German name in English documents, there is no reason for this translation. Evidence for the globally preferred use of the German name can be found on Google trends. The literal translation of "Freie" to "Free" is inappropriate, even if it has been picked up by the press in the past. BrynMawr1965 (talk) 14:13, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
