Ayohbk: Why not try buffet from other cultures (say Italian, Chinese etc)whenever you eat outside. They taste better compared to German restaurants and some could be as low as €10 and you'll eat till you can eat no more 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello house please help me with a honest review between these two choices with respect to career prospect in Germany. (A)Cologne University of Applied Sciences.....Msc Communication Systems and Networks (with emphasis on a career as a Network Engineer). (B) FAU Erlangen.....Msc Computational Engineering (with emphasis on a career in digital signal processing, machine/deep learning and computer vision). My bachelor is in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. |

frankmoney:This depends on the official attending to you. The law state you have to show financial proof of sustenance, which is I think about 850 per month(not sure if this amount is correct). So it is either you have that in your account or you have an equivalent job contract. Like I said earlier, it depends on the official attending to you. |

solomonbrown64:How much you can save as a single man depends on so many factors, I can not drop figures because what I may end up saving my be too little compared to you. But if you are frugal and decide to live in a small apartment, you will save some money. 2 Likes |

willy2000: True. I know about the small apartments and stuffs. I saw the tax deducted from the salary of a single man can go as high as 32%. Mehn, that's a lot. One has no other than to be frugal as a single working class dude. Thanks for the tips. |

How's healthcare like? If one happens to fall ill, as a student and regular immigrant still trying to get work? Costs, Treatment (behaviour wise), etc. Read on quora it's not easy without insurance, and could take days for an appointment, unless it's a life threatening emergency. |

0DDA0:Health insurance is an important requirement for enrollment into any University in Germany. You must have Insurance. As for appointments, it depends on the kind of doctor you want to visit. If you need a general practitioner, an appointment for such doesn't take too long. However, other kind of Doctors like ENT, and co. You may have to wait for weeks if not months before you can get your first appointment. But the trick here is, once you have visited a Doctor once, getting follow up appointments is easy, even if you have an emergency, you can call and walk-in the same day to see the doctor, but you will have to be patient. 3 Likes |

@willy2000 thanks for the reply. Also, I read on the Dan's thread that you can't say you freelance or have an online business as a student(Even though it's legit). But you can call it something else. Is remote student work acceptable? Also, how do they know your income to tax you when you make above €500? For example with a Payoneer card. You're withdrawing straight with an ATM. Nothing is entering your (German) bank account. I'm asking because for a programmer, or anything freelance-able, freelance really helps, and can help more when you can legit put your location as a non Nigerian location. It can be more beneficial than menial physical jobs. |

0DDA0: Working as a freelancer and earning above a certain threshold is taxable. Note, as long as you receive payments into your German accounts, your dealings are known. However, if your clients decide to pay into your Nigerian account, then lucky you, but just hope they do not declare it on their tax returns. Because your name will definitely appear on the receipt, and if the account officer digs deeper, then you know what will happen. 5 Likes |
