with heart filled with joy and laughter, I wish to announce to my fellow nairaland family, that my visa has been granted.
this journey started since 2013, I tried Canada but was denied. my brother convinced me to try Germany, I tried Germany last year winter 2015, was also denied, people like Nellyb and williamso, know my story. but hear I am today. I gave it another try and believed there's nothing God can not do, he proved his an unfailing God. even on the day of my interview Satan raised his head again, Babanila is a witness, but God won the battle at last. I left my money in deusch account since last August having hope it will end in praise and it ended in praise.

thanks to everyone for Ur help and assist people like Eke40seven,Williamso, Nellyb, and I will not forget Babanila who was with me during my times of trials on the interview day. May God bless U all for me. Those I didn't mention I appreciate U all. am so grateful. thank you all. I will always give back to this house positively.

a.m mail dropped 26th February
insurance and passport submitted on 29th February
package arrived 7th March.

thanks to everyone may God continue to bless us all. those awaiting Ur approval, U will get yours too, in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello everyone, particularly the new folks. Well many people here may not know me again, though is not so important but I feel I should send this advise at this crucial point in time. PLEASE CONSIDER THE ECONOMIC STAND OF THE CITY YOU R GOING BEFORE CHOOSING YOUR SCHOOL O.
First I'll start with my story. I got two admissions more than a year ago one in Göttingen and the other in Hohenheim Stuttgart. Considering the status of both schools Göttingen by far is higher in terms of recognition (though my course is best studied Hohenheim in Germany and the 3rd in the whole of Europe I think). That aside, 7 months fast forward, I can say I really thank God for choosing this very place (Hohenheim)
Stuttgart is like the home of real hustle in the whole of Germany and students here don't have problems with jobs. Currently I harbour two students one from somewhere in Kanstar (pardon me cos I don't know if that's the correct spelling) the other from same Göttingen.
They came to work for the holidays. The real story here is that. Their stories really touched me, one said he has like 2k left, the other said like 3k. The 8k we hustle to get in Nigeria believe me, it's a small money here in Deutschland. I spend so much, yet if I tell you how much I've got left, you'll be surprise. I'm not saying this to brag cos it doesn't even add anything to me. But I'm saying it as an advise to you guys coming here. Find out very well about your destination and the rest will be history. I wish everyone the very best.

Oye50:

I wanted to mention studies but I decided to leave it out. Since you ask I'll tell you
Currently I'm doing very excellently well with my academics. Basically what I do is weekend jobs and I take up jobs at my free time cos there are a few flexible ones as well. I just tot of the advice that was why I came here. In Germany if you study you'll get good grades and I know God gave us the brains me inclusive. Thanks

Oye50:

There are many sides to your story. First, Dortmund could be cool, even though I've not really heard much from anyone there. In Germany you are allowed to extend your program till like 7 semesters if you so wish. First you should know you can't complete your studies at the normal time if you don't want a really poor grade.
I'll advise you to try spread your courses as much as you can so that you'll be able to have some time to spare. Also you can't repay the money in 3 months not even in 10 months as a student but if you are hard working and dedicated. Also studying where jobs are in abundant, I'm sure you'll do fine.

Oye50:

I said that because you want to refund about 2M back home. How will you cope with about 5 courses every semester. A single course is an bulky as anything you can think of. It's just a logical reasoning

Schwartz:

Oye you are right with what you are saying but let me disagree a bit. Weekend and spare time jobs cannot give you a fat bank account balance. Especially not with the very high cost of things in this country and the pay from mini jobs.
I spread my courses too but there is a disadvantage to spreading it too wide though. IMHO seven extra semesters is long. My ISO told me that if you spend more than 3 extra semesters and you go for visa renewal the Auslander may ask questions. It may depend on your Auslander behorde's rules though.
Going to a good economic state is good but you have to balance it with a city that also offers cheaper living. I know cities like Munich offer more economic opportunities + I have seen Germans themselves relocating there to search for jobs but the problem is the cost of living in Munich is high. Rent alone will finish your 670 without anything to sustain on. A normal room with shared toilet and bathroom will go for 500,600 or even 700 per month. That city's rent is outrageous. With a student mini job it will be tough.
This country is so expensive. I[b] bought 4 fingers of banana for 1.99€ The same banana wey no go pass 100naira for Naija. [/b]
I would advice anyone coming to apply for accomodation with studentenwerk. Many of them are cheaper than paying normal rent in your cities. Trick is once your accommodation is cheap, everything falls into place.

Thanks for ur response but about coping I would find a way to manage that. I understand there are jobs of 10 euro per hour. How easy is it to get these jobs in these locations Dortmund up to the maximum 20 hours per week. Regards.

lakesidepapa:


20hours week job? Bro u sure sey u won go study for Germo? That working duration hours will affect ur studies o

Schwartz:

My brother any how the inflation in Nigeria dey, 4 finger of banana no go cost 1.99 euro. lets say we use 300 per euro, omo na 600 naira for just 4 fingers of banana be that o. For goodness sake I bought 1 card of paracetamol for 4.35 euro meanwhile the same paracetamol, same no of tablets, same work; its not more than 50 naira. Just yesterday I went to a shop in my city to by an item. This very same item costs 26$ in US if I order it. Meanwhile standing here in this shop in Germany I was asked to pay 57 euros I mean nothing is cheap in this country. Nothing. When I count the many things i can buy with 8000euros in Niaja, here in Germany 8000 euros cant get you so much as one would expect. It just cant! When I go shopping for clothes, i get ridiculous prices on items. With 8000 euros in Naija you would be balling but here in Germany its bills, bills ,bills! The money runs away with speed
Some people say don't use converter to reduce your BP but i just cant stop comparing

Before you fault a story you need to be in the person's shoes to know. First I didn't tell you I'm spreading my program. I only advise someone that wants to pay money back home.
Also my blood brother lives in Munich, I'm not a novice of the place. I've been there more than 7 times and I know what's obtainable there. I didn't tell you also that I've got 12k in my account. Anyway if you feel I'm wrong, who am I to argue. My Saturday jobs alone pays my rent. Now what point do you have to disagree with what I'm saying about my story and not your story
