Baba Femo explain more...how did you process it, from the first step. I mean the Self Addressed Envelop

I went to DHL and explain to the lady i need a self addressed envelope i.e addressed from German consulate to my home address. Its very easy and direct but the price depends on where you want it to be delivered. Paid cash to her and was given the big dhl envelope. Left to obtain my Insurance {do photocopy oo}. Printed out the AM mail and give to the man at the gate...your passport, the insurance with d copy and the envelope..shikena

make sure the envelope is big ooooo, cos they will put in ur docs in it

Any idea of the Union Bank current exchange rate for blocked account? Thanks.

Obiwannn:
Please people in Germany, I want to ask a very urgent question. What's the merit/demerit of Private/Public insurance? I need someone who has used both to give me good answers based on facts and not based on hear say. I want to leave public for private. The money is too much. 80 euros a month is 8 hours job, where the money go come from? I also hear people who start with public change to private because in the end they find it very difficult to pay after they have exhausted their blocked account. So what then is the need of dashing the public insurance company money in the first place if you still end up changing?

I haven't been to the hospital my 5 months spent here now, but I intend doing so at least to enjoy the benefits of money I paid before I make the switch. Because in the end na God dey protect person, no be manpower. So please and please, what would I stand to lose by leaving the public health insurance for a private one in order to save 50 euros monthly, and which private health insurance would you recommend?

cc Nevilbot, Dmaejay, Jejet, Futurewise11, Futurewiser, Cindino, Daimlerbenz, and every other experienced person I have forgotten to mention.

I am presently in this ur dilemma. U are paying 80€ and complaining. Mine have just bin increased to 171€ so I will jump at ur 80€ right about now. Public is d best but d fee is killing. I'm even going over to Aok on Friday as I am thinking of cancelling and going with union hanse marker of 78€ but my guy its not an easy decision as I know d implication but I'm still at a croos road. So my advice for u is if u are still less Dan 30 and u are paying 80 to public please and please stay with dem. U don't want d stress wen u really need dem

Anyone in Berlin?

Ur premium was not increased cus u went to a dentist. It was increased cus all public insurance increased dia premium nationwide stating from 2016. According to wat I heard doe not verified, d reason is to compensate d refugees brought into d system without monthly income. So its like d Obama Care wia dey take more from d haves to upset d deficit from d have nots.

If na cus of d dentist den my premium should av bin increased since last may wen I did a surgery of 4k. Its just DAT once u are above 30 u pay more. I was paying 128 den it went to 165 now to 171 from next month. So if u are paying 80 plz stay with public cus dey will av ur back wen u need dem. If not for Aok wia I go see 4k pay after my surgery. Na to run go back Naija b DAT.

Anoda thing is if u get a job wia dey register u as a full time worker and not student, ur company pays part of ur insurance fee yle a % is deducted from ur salary from source. I was told a company I just started working with did DAT for me so I need to go dia ist to clarify before I weigh my options cus 171€ no b beans

I like your confidence, are you going for Bsc or Msc ?.
Don't forget that some English textbooks are not easy to read let alone a german language that is not your mother tongue, so relax and save your ENERGY for your course in Germany.
Alles Gutes.

With your mind dedicated to make it,you'll read in German and make it.
As for the debate on public vs private health insurance, public is better as for your long term goal of staying in DE.
There's a rule,if you change from public to private now and you start full time job after your studies, (which is your ultimate goal) it's like going to be expensive and huge deductions from your earnings like 10-16%, if am not wrong.
My advice, stick with public,if you can as health is wealth.
Also stop saying,I never sick for months etc,sickness no get starting date and you no be Superman.

Bros, abeg mention this school.

Obiwannn:


Only thinking about the bolded dey make me fear. I never start to work oh..Iwan start to hustle next semester..but again..I am very very scared..Make I no go fail...I have already experienced such first hand. I have an Indian classmate, very very intelligent dude. He started missing classes and took up a job as a hotel manager, and in the end failed an exam we all had together. One which he should have aced if he studied hard enough..
The thought of combining work with study plus the very very difficult edu system (imagine me living life like say I dey Undergraduate..reading sleeping..reading.. sleeping..; monotonous boring life; again I come hear say dem go tax u 35% if u earn more than 450euros even as a student-very very mean society) makes me want to regret coming here in the first place. But again what can I do? I no fit get mind complain, cos I have been given the rare privilege many on the streets of Lagos don't have, and I believe Insha Allah when the time to join book with work comes (which is even more important than the book itself, else u'd be kicked out of d country), God go make way wey boys go take run am without failure... If people have done it in the past, then I can do it.

So my aspiring people, its not as rosy here oh..It would have been better if you don't have to think about making money to survive but only worry about reading the book which you came here to read in the first place. And if you have the funds, I'd advise you pursue Canada or US instead... But again, if you are a Nigerian like I am, I believe we would survive even the harshest of conditions...Just be like me folks and don't lose hope.

Working and reading is not easy oo, I started working after one month of my arrival here, for my side Bremen, heavy work pay more than office work because you will do the job for 8 or 9 hours and get 75euro at once every saturday. Those who are looking for office work, it is difficult to see office work because most office work are not in student work category in my own experience and manual job is better here because you do it longer hours, sometimes i do night job with mercedes 9hrs ,9.5 euros per hr and 25% added for doing night job, the job is cleaning machines they use in producing cars,removing oil from the floor and sometimes sorting nuts or car parts, that 9hrs you have to work without sleeping till morning with strong monitoring so that the person will not leave the job and go and sleep.
