Stop embarrassing yourself. She's clearly not from around here to even know what you mean.


As brutally honest as a German.

Sugarcoating the truth or statement with a euphemism to make the "I don't know a bit nice to hear," is something Americans or the British and nigerians are known for but not germans cos dey are unapologetically blunt.

if dey don't know something deyll tell you dey don't know it. Not because dey hate you, but because it's fact lol

So if you see her do that you smile and be proud that the German culture is completely rebooting her system

Bro does ur school accept EPL?

Really concerned about the feedback am getting from friends in DE about the job situation. A friend has been there since March, no job till now, another since winter 2018, still no job. They have both been vigorously applying. Makes me wonder, is it really all worth it? I know the first aim of going is to study but side hustle is very important too to keep body and soul together.

Aachen and madgeburg,

From Adhheir

I’ve had the intention to write ever since, but I always never knew where to start from. Thank you Nairaland! It's been amazing!!! The real truth is that Nairaland helped me get here from start to finish; the wealth of information here from people's experiences is all you would ever need to achieve those goals. My one advice; NETWORK as much as you can, yes there are going to be bad eggs. I've not met any so far and I'm not going to deny their existence, but it's still the best way to get a hang of the new environment. Like plenty folks here, I have no family here but good lord! I have friends and my source is Nairaland! Before I traveled to Hamburg, again from Nairaland; I was able to connect and create a WhatsApp group of folks going to the same school with me; about 9 of us. Believe me, it has been my strength. It still feels very much like Nigeria for me and its one of the biggest challenges newbies face when they arrive here. couldn’t contact the school/accommodation guides when I arrived, it was these friends (who traveled earlier than I did) that came to receive me at the airport (even got lost in the process when they went to board a train that detaches before it goes to the airport and the other part goes to another stop which of course they had no prior knowledge of then) and took me to my dorm, I was already settled in my dorm before the dorm administrator brought papers for me to sign, my friends literally secured my space for me. I came in on a Sunday, Germans take their Sundays very seriously; all their shops were closed and these same friends fed me good food till I could go get groceries on Monday (wonderful friends rights).

Hello guys, good day.

What are my options?

I'm an Electrical Electronics Engineering Graduate with a 3.3/5.0 CGPA(Second Class Lower) and I'd love to study in a European/Scandinavian tuition free country. Any low tuition/tuition-free country is nice.

Can you please educate me on my options.
Thanks

vkyburnz:
Please does anyone here know much about GISMA Business School in Germany? Can't find much about them online.

Offered admission in Business Intelligence and Analytics there at their Arden Uni, Berlin Campus.

Reviews will be appreciated by those who know Germany inside out. Thanks people

Hadampson:


€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

Bro but are jobs hard to come by in Aachen??

GISMA is a private university and unless you are ready to dole out 15k euros upwards, then try the free universities and put the 15k in your blocked account. The advantage with GISMA is that their programs are usually 1year so you get to finish faster but the con of this is you get very little time to settle down and integrate in Germany (i.e. get internships, work as a student. etc.). You also end up with maximum of 1year residence permit because your program is for a year meaning even if you want to spend more time (taking a semester off) will require you to jump more hoops to get an extension. This is Berlin that gives 3years permit to tuition free students.

I have a friend that just started there this winter despite my objection. The school waited till last minute to let her know they couldn't help with accommodation even though it was part of their care package. She now pays 700 euros per month for rent after spending 2 weeks in an Airbnb apartment of over 30 euros a night.

So think about your short and long term objectives to help you in making a decision.
