Goodday all gurus in the house ,
Pls during the cause of AD issue around aug., I mail my sch for EXTENSION/deferment. And I got this mail. Now I have Interview on the 16th. Using dec2 as start date after several rebooking without date.
Just curious of my chances,and the start date to use during interview etc. tho I have done the online enrollment.

Dear Mr XYZ,
Online enrollment must be done before 30th September, 2019 if you want to enroll for this winter semester.

The latest day for personal enrollment is Dec 2nd. After 2nd of December 2019, personal enrollment will no longer be possible.



In addition, please note that the Dairy Science lectures start at October 21, 2019.

In up to 4 of 5 courses of the winter semester participation in the first lecture in October is mandatory!

Late arrival does not exempt you from these prerequisites. If you do not participate, you will not be allowed to do the exam, which will then prolong your overall study time.



Hence, enrollment until 17th of October 2019 is highly recommended!


The other possibility would be to start your studies next year.

Please be aware that we cannot postpone the current admission, i.e. you will have to hand in a new application. We also cannot guarantee that you will be admitted again next year, but the chances are in general good if you had been admitted this year.

Tommynaku:
When going for your interview please try and print the letter or mail from the school. attach it with you AL. From the date of your interview, its most likely that your study may be prolong which is no problem. This is because of the compulsory course stated in the mail.
I will advice you again to write the school immediately and tell them of your interview date which implies that you will be coming late. Request for an official letter from them which you can submit to the embassy since its late. If they do, attach that letter with your AL on your AD. If they dont, still used the mail sent you as stated
Best wishes in your interview. try and gather all requirement and prepare very well
It will end in Praise

Hello Everyone,

I have been in Germany (Ingolstadt) for a week now and all I can say is every single struggle is worth it.

I’d like to advise on some issues;

Firstly when you’re selecting your course or study try to focus on the bigger cities. They’re usually easier to live in and more job opportunity plus most of them speak English.

I used Turkish airline and my experience with them was really bad. The plane didn’t arrive at MMA until after two hours of the departure time. Most of us missed our connecting flight and spent long hours at the Turkish Airport.

Try and come with some basic amenities like head warmer, gloves, winter jacket, money,bed sheet, extension, winter socks, winter boot etc. [Note: the Germans use type F electrical outlet, if possible get them before coming)

Try and secure you accommodation before coming, if not you might find it difficult.

If possible learn the language and start studying from Nigeria. Here they’re very precise and time cautious. The semester will start the day advised and lectures will start so try to arrive as soon as possible.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I used Turkish Airline and there service was fantastic... Great staff they have. If not the help of one of the Air host who helped me, I would have left my winter jacket at Lagos Airport.

They served us food as and when do.... They punctual and the plane even departs before time.


I learned that some people use to miss their connecting flight at instanbul Airport.... People who miss their flights are probably people who don't pay attention to details....

Immediately you arrive Istanbul, the first thing you are supposed to do is to locate your connecting flights get.... Due to the size of the airport it took me almost 30 minutes to locate my gate

Smaller cities are easier to live in as well..not everyone will gain admission in bigger cities.

I guess you meant to write the plane did not TAKE OFF until after two hours of the slated departure time.

Sorry about missing your flight, but it was not the airline's fault that you missed the flight. You probably didn't know where to go. There are many screens that display information about every flight. For those with long hours of layover at Istanbul airport, the airline provides two meal tickets, five hours apart. This is given to you at their stand in Istabul. So your welfare is taken care of, to an extent. You're free to sleep on any couch

For anyone that may not know how to go about the connnecting flight, feel free to walk up to any Turkish airlines stand in Istanbul and ask questions.

For those with long layover, information about your connecting flight may not be displayed on the screen until about 2 hours before departure. Your boarding gate comes up about 1hour before departure as well.

Alternatively, locate 'International Connecting Flight'. There, your bags will be scanned and you'd have to go up via an escalator.

Guys

I greet una, honestly. Is not easy making out time especially when u just arrived.
Everything here will be acting like film trick but with time, at most 21 days, many of the pertinent issues that comes with new traveler setting down will really fizzle out.
One thing u will miss here is plenty time, everything here revolves with prompt time keeping and d way d have been able to sustain that attitude is motivating for me. I miss my boku Nija time really.
I am d only black in my school language class, I don't know why. Many Taiwanese, Americans, Europeans, Bangladesh etc, but Africa, only me.
Don't worry, many guys, Nigerians will give u "I don't care attitude when u really needed there guidance, I understand, it was so for them, so some things u will have to learn on your own. I realize that the city u are going in would decide if d NSIG group will be helpful or not, in my case, it was not.
What am I saying, this doesn't necessarily mean d person(s) are Bad, Is just an orientation u will catch sooner when u arrive, which is "Mind your business" and then "DIY".
Good guys de too that are helpful, pray to locate them at the right time and not when u have wasted enough. u see the one that will make u believe he is 24 hours busy, forget it. U will get over it
Goggle map will be ur best companion at first, until u master the shortcuts. Google maps will take u on a normal shortcut journey of 10 mins for 50min plus, I believe u know why is so.
Now another thing, if u don't have much money on arrival, there are some things u should not waste ur money buying cos u will most likely see them around very soon. Things like Refrigerator, plates, pots, brush etc joor
I bought all those here because I didn't have the right orientation about how to pick that.
Just be watching around the environments, corridors, staircases and then one big bin bucket outside (don't know how to call it), the rule as it appears to me now, is that anything u find in these places are given out looking for whom that needs it.
There's also a one euro market at Redcross, but I would not advise this except u broke , like no much money for new brilliant stuffs .,....
Things are cheap there but i think is .........
Only the bedsheet I got there I find useful now, the 4 winter jackets and sweaters I bought there, I smh don't like wearing
Please for the winter jacket, I recommend u close eyes bring out 40 euros, u will really value it than those worn out looks Redcross market.
Foodstuffs are excessively cheap here, like same with Nigeria or below that based on economy performance.

The easiest bank account will be Sparkasse but d have about a 5 euro monthly maintenance fee, so I went for Deutsch bank and N26. Deutsch bank has student account that won't need u pay the monthly maintenance fees till u graduate. Deautsch bank also have English speakers in their branches but be ready for the appointment booking, interview and a lot of documents signing which is not so with Sparkasse.
Deutsch bank is also in the cash group here, meaning I can withdraw from any branch of other cash group banks like Postbank, Commerzbank bank while with Sparkasse, withdrawal must be from their Sparkasse branch or u pay fees. Sparkasse actually have the largest distribution of ATMs anyway, but I also learnt that Sparkasse Bank of a city say Berlin is different from Sparkasse of another like Hamburg, meaning u will have to pay fees outside the city but same bank, that's ridiculous lol. (I am not sure o, got d info from Reddit).

The Sim most guys used here is Lycamobile, I made an error with the one I got. Their Network is very poor and at times enter 2g but I understand d do well in cities. Vodafone etc de too and okay.

Be reminded of the Europe copyright laws etc, I advise uninstalling ur torrent files downloaded and file sharing apps, u wouldn't like to pay a German or so attorney fees etc with ur student job work.
My guy told me even watching porns etc are illegal on public WiFi which is true but don't know if is same with ur accommodation school WiFi, just be careful. Is better to go pay for unlimited data plan monthly than risk their so many rules actually. Live streaming could be legal or illegal too depending on the copyright issue etc.
Hmḿmm, Germany is very good and nice but the people can be tricky too, (my German language teacher made that statement and my mind just went to, this their relax student visa and immigration stuff, may d tricky no reach there o].

The language is the only challenge I see
But is very surmountable, though I find it difficult to start conversation in it or reply back with it, but just a week German class has opened me up to hearing and reading as well writing the basics. So una get hope. Jenny on YouTube is a good teacher too.
U need the language to flex, u no Sabi am, u are on your own honestly.

The weather here is doing me harmattan, I understand that winter is not set yet but the cold sef much.
I think if u can just come with sweater and get a winter jacket here is preferable for those entering before Winter sets in.
Hmmm, am tired. Please come with clippers guys, come with two round plugs for extension of gadgets. I paid 13 euros just for the picture I attached. These people don eat my money plenty. I be no take the instructions serious o, mtcheeew.
Don't come with Rice, sugar, etc. Many things are better here. Na here most of u will experience d true feeling of buying original especially my fellow Aba brethren. Perfume of 3000 naira here d last longer than Naija perfume of 7k. Drinks, alcohols make sense here, not the 95% wey be fake for our side.
Stuffs here are standard but a little pricey for fashion etc.
Don't buy all those shoes and cans etc except u really know originals and have d money for it, just wear one come here close eyes buy better stuffs.
I have never seen a vegetable leaf, don't know why, ugu.
The comfort of a room apartment justify d 25 euros difference from the shared flats in my section joor.

Carry extra application materials o, cos many of u will realize here that u have made a wrong choice like me only when u arrive. There are just some things u won't understand at d valley till u climb to the top of the mountain, is still a gain gain if u understand what you want.

I rest here guys, good luck summer applicants. Honestly, like Berliner1 said it years ago and it motivated my spirit is true and very real. He wrote something like this " Bear every cost u will have to bear just to get it to here, no matter the cost implications, it will be worth it at the end". U will recover it last las be it IELTS, Goethe etc, that comment settled it for me to write IELTS, other than that, would never pay 70k for just an ordinary English exam for school application, is worth it at the end. So I hope someone applying is encouraged to do more, lol

NL actually helped me, so this is my 2nd family. I am garnished here, u won't understand. So is no retire for me, should always be back to give back here.

So that's it, I go now.

Tschüss Leute, Safe travels to those coming this period, don't fear with the whole cabin pressure loss etc esp for the first travelers like me. Mehn I hate that thing, Kai.
Lol

RS21:
Your Visum date seems to be 2weeks after your AM didnt you drop your passport on time ... what was the delay... just curious.

Tommynaku:
No statement of account is need by the student or the sponsor. All you do is open an account in Germany with any of these accredited
Deutsch Bank, Fintiba, Coracle, Xperio
After getting confirmation that the account is open, you will be required to transfer the total amount (about 10,450 euros) to the account in Germany. A block account confirmation will be issued you on receipt of the cash. It is with the confirmation you can take along during your interview. Without that confirmation, no interview based on the new rule

Akwaekee:
I got AM on 24th Sept. Mailed my passport and insurance same 24th but it got delivered on 25th evening. So, it was obviously attended to, on 27th Sept. I got a call to come pick it on 30th, if I still planned travelling on 1st October. Asked the caller to mail it, lemme reschedule my flight. It wasn't sent out. They didn't work on 1st October. I called on 2nd to confirm if it was sent out, the lady said she didn't send it out. They also didn't work on 3rd. Then on 4th, I kept calling and sending mails, it was eventually sent out on 4th, that was a Friday.

So this is how I ended up receiving my visum on 7th

Ligogu:
Thanks so much for the information.

Please i have one question. I contacted Rhine-waal university of applied science regarding getting admission. They told me that there is no limitations on the number of applicants they accept into my course ( English, Information engineering) and once i meet their minimum requirements i will get admission. So i want to know if this university is located in a place where there are alots of jobs opportunities. Because when i made search about the city ( Klave) it seems to be a small town. I want you to advice me

Ope4Christ:
Google Egypt Air. Go through their website or their office in Lagos, Abuja or Kano.

Or Download 'Cheap flight' application on play store. It allows you to compare flight tickets, then you can book your flight online or through their offices.

freakky:
You can book one way ticket online....i booked it and it costs 133k
