I just got admission in RWTH Aachen University.
Course = Applied Geoscience.

Missmi:


I don't have a TIN so I selected 'no'. If you haven't done any tax related thing in Nigeria , you wouldn't have a TIN as far as I know. I believe you can select 'no' as well.

I selected No but it didnt allow me bypass that level. it indicated that TIN is compulsory.

Please anyone who recently opened fintiba account with an idea on how to bypass this stage?

which means, judging from information I have gathered so far,
In rough estimate for a low budget Nigerian , this is what you should hold if you are planning to enter Germany for education.

1. Block Account = #3,600,000
2. Flight fee = #300,000
3. Pocket money = #285,000 (if you have block account)
4. Money for clothes and foodstuffs = #70,000

TOTAL = #4,250,000

€1000 is too much. I know what am saying.

Some people hustled out the substantial amount required for BA and now, they need to get €1000 which is about 400,000 plus.. The hustle is real sis. You sef sabi wetin i dey talk


I'm not arguing with you sister. Just saying the fact. You are right as well but can you suggest cities that won't require €1000

My brother, to be sincere with you, them dey frighten person

Person never sure on how to raise BA, na to add additional 1000 euros for just pocket money .

This Hadampson, you too much.
Kudos, e be like say we go make you the course rep of this thread

Hadampson, kudos.

Please keep bringing up past relevant posts, it's really helpful.

Please let's desist from posting provocative posts capable of bringing unnecessary derail.

If you people continue this way, here will completely turn to a war zone which is unnecessary.
Any more bad comments here again, I call the Moderator on the person after clicking on the report button.
Let's be civil and mature please

badmus306:

How old are you

Attimes I wonder you guys Mission in this group seriously.
Are you people here to cause fight and make the thread noisy?
Why not allow the sleeping lion continue sleeping? Abi you want another war to start?

ufotty2001:
God determine life expectancy not human

Exactly my brother

willy2000:


What elders see when sitting, children can't see even if they climb trees.
I hope this wise comment will help straighten out some expectations people are having coming abroad.

Greed, as they say, leads to destruction.

Guy its alright na. make una stop inciting further counter reactions.
Just post your comments without making unnecessary reference .
As you can see, this place is calm now abi una no wan make we move on?

Nice one Hadampson for bringing back old posts

willy2000:



This your list is based on clothes, which I think is actually not so important depending on which semester you are coming.
Clothing:
Jeans: it is cheaper in Nigeria.
Shirts: if you are into shirts, but as for me I am a t-shirt guy
Shoes: for ladies don't come with any high heels, you will end up not wearing it. But something durable with a flat sole.

As for thick socks(wollen) and Thermals, you only need them during the winter Months, and you can buy them cheap here.
Don't buy the Nigerian sippers ohh, you may end up living in a house with slippery laminate. Normal in-door slippers are also not expensive. You can visit the 1€ shop, same applies to head warmer.


FOOD: THIS IS IMPORTANT, unless you are not a food person.
You first three months trying to adjust to the kind of food here won't be funny. Basic things like normal Maggi will be a task buying it in the supermarket.
Try as much as possible to get enough ingredients for your best food. This will help in time of need when things start getting rough, you can always come home and enjoy a nice meal and feel happy and relaxed. Well if you are not into food then you can ignore this and fly in. Then you start eating bread and potatoes because you want to save cost.

Your contribution is always on point. Keep it up

Please let love lead.
From what happened above, this is what I will like to say.

For peace to reign

1. We must learn how to be polite when replying others to avoid unnecessary and prolonged reactions. No matter how dumb you think someone is, learn to be polite when replying or addressing them.

2. We should learn how to ignore some posts for peace to reign. Some people just like my brother Eldeee said will step on your toes. Even in Germany, you will at times be treated differently and unfairly but you don't throw stones at every dog that barks

Please, once we stick to these two rules, believe me, we go dey alright

Hadampson:




Na next level cause am but if hin get money, make hin choose Turkish airline

My brother, so far Royal Air mac can reach Deutschland without any problem even abnormal vibration while still on the air, no problem at all.
I want cheap and safe flight not luxury.
This block account has been eating deep into me, na why I no get strong zeal to learn Deutsch since.

willy2000:



Jamb question...... Me i prefer royal air, you wanna know why? they are super cheap, but na flying casket dem bi from Lagos to Cassablanca, but the connecting flight to Frankfurt is better

Flyiny casket?

Hadampson:


Air Maroc

Turkish


Check the price of these two airlines but i prefer Turkish airline

Alright, why do you prefer Turkish airline?

Adhheir:


The list is for both male and female travellers, choose your gender .

I hope the PDF doesn't give you an heart attack.

Turkish airline allows 23Kg*2 and 10Kg*1. You pay (negotiate) for anything above.

The 40ft container doesn't seem like a bad idea tho!

Alright my brother. Thanks for keeping the group alive with information.
Please which airline is cheapest from Nigeria to Germany and like how much for a student?

Adhheir:

Lol. With which bag will someone pack all these things?
Abi we go travel with 40ft container?

Basalt:


But USA student visa is extremely costly.
The only reason I considered Germany in first place is their free education.
After studies and saving some money, I will target moving to USA, Canada, Australia or Switzerland for my PhD.
I heard those countries pay very well (almost double what is paid in Germany ) with lesser tax

Lol. Ever thought of cost of living in those countries especially Switzerland?

fieryy:



Lmaooo, where in Europe is that even possible?
He'll just kill himself, but what's my own

#sipsorangejuice

Basalt went extremely far by involving her family but Let's call a spade a spade. The bolded part ain't nice at all.
"He will just kill himself, but What's my own"
shows that even if he kills himself trying to hustle, you don't care at all.
We should not be using provocative words on others who asked questions.

Even if the question appears dumb, we can choose to ignore and be calm.

Oga Basalt, e don do sir

Basalt:
Whenever someone ask a question, the best thing you should do is to keep quiet if you don't have anything reasonable to say not to start attacking the person talking trash as if na your papa get Germany.

It's alright bro, calm down

Basalt:
Is it possible to save like 10,000 euros every year while doing my MSc in Germany?

Chaiii .
Basalt my fellow geologist, thank you for making me laugh so hard this night. I know you were joking shaa.

It's good we all have a financial target but things don't always work the way we expect.

Well, I am not in Germany shaa neither do I know how much one can save in a year but I think you should cut down your expectations to maybe 1 million naira in a year.
I personally think 10,000 euro is too high for a student, haba. You nogo dey study?

hadassaheke:

Hey everyone! Been a bit..

I moved to Germany as a graduate student in Applied and Engineering Physics at the TUM in 2017 and I can only give some tips based on my own experience.

1. Studying in Germany is pretty hands on, as there is no hand holding. And in terms of studying and getting a good grade, you are basically the architect of your life here, unlike what is obtainable in the US, Canada and other north American universities, there are no assignments that count towards the final grade as only the exams determine whether you'll pass or not.

Very informative

yamen21:

You should have collected proof of English proficiency from your school and save yourself unnecessary headache.
Aachen accepts proof of English proficiency.

I applied on 23rd February, the same course with you

samholly:


I have seen like 3 guys with admission.God will do yours soon !!

Amen my brother, I believe in God.
Aachen is my most desired school followed by University of Bremen before others. But if desirable is not available I don't mind going any other school. I just don't want to celebrate Christmas this year in Nigeria. I am tired of Nigeria

DrND:
