YES Sir Boss Mi.

ichommy:
YES Sir Boss Mi.

Tnx sir Boss mi

Union bank .It took about 2weeks and about 70k will remain out of 2M

You have done the needful.
Wait until you hear from the embassy.
Don't send any hardcopy.
If your enrolment deadline is close, you can reach your aliens authority. If not, keep calm, get busy while you wait for the embassy to respond.

Stamp and seal are not similar. They are two different things. Below are the example of stamp and seal. Seal will look like an engravement on a document while stamp is not.

I dont think there is a problem with ur answer

I think it's time for me to share my 6 months experience in Germany(Tübingen) to be precise. Please, note that I am only sharing what I have experienced so far in Tübingen. Students in other cities especially the bigger cities may not have similar experience. Let me use the same format lmuhopeful used:


1. Education: Studies here has been really nice and very tough. I'm currently studying MSc in Management and Economics. There are only one University in Tübingen which is the famous/prestigious University of Tübingen. The University spread across the length and breath of the entire city. There is no where you will go in Tübingen that you will not feel the presence of the University. Our professors here are very brilliant and smart. Educational system in Germany is highly intensive. If you are going for any Economics or Finance related courses you have to be very good in calculations. In fact very good is just an understatement you have to be extremely good in Maths. Be prepared to see some Mathematical symbols you have never came across in your entire life. And also try as much as possible to learn/improve on your computer skills. Be also prepared for presentations. I have 3 individual presentations to carry out this semester. I did two last semester they were fantastic. I never knew that I will be able to get it right because I was not used in making public speech. Exams are really tough here and grading system here is different from what we have in Nigeria. Professors don't award marks easily you have to work very hard to earn your grades. The marking scheme here is absolutely strict. To score a 1.0 here you need 95% and above. In general anything from 2.5 and below is considered good especially if an institute is doing high quality research like lmuhopeful rightly said.

2. Housing/Accommodation: Living in student dormitory is cheap you can get an accommodation shared/flat for 208, 217 Euros etc in old buildings. There are a lot of ancient buildings here dated back to the time of Johann Wolfgang Goethe and Martin Luther the reformer. If you want to live in the same building Goethe lived when he was writing his poetry it is possible and also from 245Euros for accommodation in skyscrapers. Private accommodation are a little bit expensive but not as in big cities.

3.Transportation: Tübingen semester ticket is not encouraging at all. Stuttgart is just 30km which is less than one hour drive by bus or train yet our semester ticket does not even cover Esslingen let alone Stuttgart. In fact Barden Wuttemberg semester tickets are like that. You can only enjoy semester ticket in this state if you are studying in a big city like Stuttgart and semi-big cities like Mannhiem, Kalshure, Freiburg etc. If you want to get a VVS semester ticket that covers Stuttgart you will be spending close to 400Euros which is not worth it.

Student Jobs: If you are coming to Tübingen with the hope of getting a student job you better have a rethink. There are no companies here. Tübingen can be best described as a rural area. Getting a job in few restaurants around is extremely difficult. Tübingen is a university village where 2 out of every 3 people you see on the streets are students. Tübingen is such a boring town. Loneliness want kill me here ooo!. You can hardly find Nigerians here except for few Nigerian refugees. There are very few Nigerians here. There are also not too many blacks in this school. From time to time you can only come across 1 or 2 Nigerians studying here. But if you are coming to Tübingen with the sole aim of studying, I can assure you that you will get the very best of education here because Tübingen is a world-class university. Some of the best professors in Europe are here. An ex-president of Germany (Horst Köhler) is also here as one of my professors.

People: What I have seen here is not encouraging. Tübingen is not a friendly town. People here are not friendly I don't know if it's because Tübingen is relatively a small town. I have been to Stuttgart and Frankfurt people are more friendly there than in Tübingen. Sometimes they will be looking at you as if you are an Alien from another planet. A friend of mine who is in Engineering faculty often complained of racism in his faculty. No one wants to sit with him in the class. No one wants him in their assignment group. I was lucky to have few German friends in my department that are liberal minded. They are more than nice to me. I happened to be the only black in my faculty but was lucky to have those great German guys as friends.

Food: Since I came here I have never bought cooked food outside. I have always prepared my own food at home by myself. It helps you to minimize cost if you can be able to be cooking/preparing your own meal. Their own foods self no dey hungry me. This people wey dey chop bread like say tomorrow no dey. They have different verities of Bread. More than 50 or more different kind of breads. There are African shops here where you can get food items like Yams, Plantain, Beans, Fish, Meat, Egwusi, Ogbono, Okra, palm oil etc, but they are not cheap oooo!

Babes: Hmmmmn! Like I said before this is not a friendly town. This people discriminate a lot. They even discriminate against other whites let alone blacks. But it may be a different experience in bigger/International German cities. So if na babe you want come here come find be ready to work extra hard for it. And also be prepared to face so many rejections you maybe lucky at last sha! As some people were lucky to find one in the long-run. If you are a lady, I don't really know because I haven't seen whites guys going out with the few black girls that are here.

African People: There are few Africans here are they are really nice. Some people will tell you not to get close to Nigerian refugees that are here. Well experience differs, Almost all the Nigerian refugees I met here are very nice people they see me as their brother and have always been willing to help they don't even discriminate on basis of tribe. They have been really helpful even more than the 2-3 Nigerians studying here. I know of a Nigerian student that did not drop his tribalism behind in Nigeria. He brought his tribalism here with him. Aduro is the popular name given to those refugees. But this Aduro people are very very nice to me I don't know about other Nigerian students experience ooo!.

German language: The language is as important as the degree you are coming here to acquire. You need the language to be able to interact effectively with people here even if it's broken/basic German. I will also advise anyone coming to Germany to get at least a B1 language proficiency before boarding that plan. Life can be extremely difficult here without the language.

Lolz Williamso

Du bist sehr Lustig

Nicht jedermann sind dummer.. hahahaha... wissen Sie dass du warst ein einmal anfänger, aber Jetzt, du hast ein bisschen wissen uber deutschland, die leute usw. Ich glaube mit zeit, ein anfanger wird be auch ein meister

in letzter Zeit, ich bemerken dass, du sprichst fleißig gut deutsch. wie geht's bei dir studium?

Achso, Ich denke es ist sehr wichtig dass du musst diskutieren fur uns wie Ihr uberleben im deutschland.

Was ist ein typisch deutsche frau, Arbeit, studium, Spaß, Urlaub, Freund Machen, essen, Fest, und vieles mehr

Uncle Justwise has done it, thanks a million once again No more posting in German; the antispam bot no dey look face

You really need to work on your grammar. I could understand what you said because you more or less used German words with English grammar: a native German will probably not understand this post But if you learned all this from Naija, then it's really great after all I didn't know "Good morning" when I got here.

And I had to learn the language to a fault; and it paid off, helped me get my job
As for my experience, I don't think I have the time to sit and compose a very lengthy post on that, but it will come in the fullness of time. Besides, I've been here for only 7 months, I don't think I've lived long enough to speak on certain matters...

@justwise please let people post in German, it would encourage learners

Thanks Justwise

Lolz. Well I learnt German up to A2 at Goethe Institute. Anyway, I could still better my sentence construction especially mit the "dass" keyword und It's usage.

Frankly speaking, a native german would understand by reading this but may find it hard to comprehend by listening. Why you could see some fault was because you learnt it in a german environment. It would have been the same if I enjoyed the same feat. But you know, from Goethe institute, the next noise behind you is "Obalende" 50 naira bus... enter with ya change oo

But with time, all go pure.

Bit William, you gats come do some write ups oo. At least we would like to hear your own side of the deutschland dream.

Nice one. Thanks for the info. I recently applied for. MSc in Management and Economics there, winter semester. I am waiting for admission decision.

UncleJudax:
OK. So, I have been a Quora.com member for about 2years. Few days ago, I stumbled upon this question in its archive (I believe it hasn't been that long it was asked)

It is about job prospects after your studies in Germany...this was specifically about masters, but then, whether M.Sc or B.Sc wouldn't really matter, would it?

Ehmm...The responses are quite revealing and somewhat disturbing. So, in the spirit of brotherhood, I enjoin all active members of this thread to read a few of the comments and make a contribution. I do hope we get some inputs from our seniors in Germany, in respect to the true state of things when it comes to working after studies.

Here is the link to the question and responses.

https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-foreign-students-doing-an-M-S-in-Germany-dont-get-jobs-after-they-finish-their-studies

Note: This is in no way to discourage anybody. I just want us to align our thoughts with 'a possible reality'.

Schönen Sonntag!

Anyone visited this link? Experiences were shared there on job search after Msc in Germany. They really are damn scary. We should be discussing this.

lobito007:
Anyone visited this link? Experiences were shared there on job search after Msc in Germany. They really are damn scary. We should be discussing this.

I have read its content and there really isn't anything to it. It shouldn't scare you because worse is going on in Nigeria and still people are getting jobs daily. Your primary concern is to get the education first, finish with a good grade and then start the search. I haven't been here long but I have already seen three (make that 4 if i include my Indian acquaintance) people that graduated last summer and winter semesters and already have jobs. I was told one was actually posted to Amsterdam to work on a project. The funny part of it is that we were were both struggling with our german in the A1.2 class in January, so I know for a fact that his german isn't good (and he is not a programmer).

So my 2 cents is that you take things one step at a time. Finish your studies with a reasonable grade and then start worrying about how to get a job.

Following, Meanwhile I'm chasing two country, Germany and Lithuania.

BlessedSamson:
I will be coming next week.

Oh.. Thanks..
