lobito007:
AM mail just dropped like it's haaat!

Seancypher:
hello people, I am about to enroll for undergraduate degree program in NOUN (national open university of Nigeria).
please I want to know if I can use the 100L transcripts to apply for schools in germany?

Eke40seven:
Okay, based on popular request, to follow the tradition here, i will like to invite our Bosses to the podium for this interview....

I use this opportunity to invite, oye11, victz, Hollaytan, LMUhopeful, Cahnellven, etc... All the other bosses that i have forgotten their moniker, you are all invited.

1. Please, introduce yourself, course, school and city. (if applicable)

My name is Ayodeji studying Geophysics at LMU Muenchen.

2. How does German educational system differ from the system you were used to?

The German system is quite more challenging. To score a 1.0(highest grade) you usually need 95% and above and with 75% or so, you'll be around 2.3 or 2.7. The professors are really smart and mostly want the best for you. I love that I can drink beer in my class. I don't know about others oo

3. What academic challenge(s) did you face or are you facing currently and how are/did you tackling/tackle them?

I faced a few challenges as I had a BSc in Electrical Engineering and now studying geophysics msc. I took advantage of the office hours of the professors and they taught me a lot personally.

3. What is your (academic) advise to prospective Nigerian student coming over to study?(summarized)

You need to understand why you want to come here. It's not about just leaving Nigeria or doing an MSc. If one just needs an MSc the UK may be better as it's easy to pass there. It's very hard to succeed here and a lot of hard work is needed. Example, 20 students from the previous set of my masters started the program and only 4 graduated. The remaining 16 were either expelled due to bad grades or left coz it was difficult. So I advice to be fully sure of your abilities and not see a German msc admission as a ticket out of Naija.

4. Do your school have a size-able number of international students and what is the state of interaction like with them?

The LMU is very international. I don't attend university events so I don't know about interacting with them. I however meet many friendly students daily and interact with them.

5. Did you find it difficult integrating into the society and how were you able to overcome it if you had?

It's easy to integrate here. Come with an open mind and no stereotypes. Talk freely with people as you would in Nigeria. It's really simple: if a person wants to talk or hang out with you they will. If not, move ahead.

6. In your opinion, do you think a hard working Nigerian student with a particular result can maintain his/her academic performance in Germany with the same efforts? A scale will be appreciated, I know time is not the only or the best measure of hard work but For instance, A spends 6 hours of study everyday in Nigeria, GPA=4 ". ". ". ". ". ". ". in Germany GPA=?

If you work hard in Nigeria you'll succeed here. It's not easy to convert these things into numbers. Work as hard as you can and take advantage of the library, tutor hours etc.

7. Like in any society, there are distractions or factors that reduces performance, what are the major culprits in Germany for an unenlightened
Nigerian JJC?

I don't know. I party and all but in moderation. Moderation is key.

8. Most of the male or even females at one time or the other would have fantasized having a German Prince or princess, what are their chances? Do the shy Germans gals take to Nigerians? Can Painpills, stharrie, etc get their prince/princess charming easily?

With relationships, keep an open mind. You don't necessarily need a German to be happy in a relationship. You could meet a Polish lady or guy, or Russian or Thai or Mexican. There's almost every nationality represented here so go with an open mind and find someone or people you're attracted to irrespective of nationality.

9. List 5 most important items an intending new comer should bring along to Germany.

Don't bring an expensive jacket. It's cheaper to buy good jackets and winter shoes here. Nothing I can think of. Maybe Rothmans and Benson(I haven't found those here )

10. Give 5 most important tip to surviving in Germany, jobs and all.

1) Study hard
2) Hustle. The money is good
3) Guys, talk to women here. You'd be surprised how receptive many of them are
4) Be calm and plan for the future. The msc isn't the end of it all
5) Party, drink, booze, enjoy your life. This is the only life we got.

11 on a scale of 1-10 rate your city in terms of hustle and the closest best place in terms of jobs to your city

12. Just give your opinion on these claims below by indicating with an Agree (A), Neutral (N) or Disagree (D)

a. Germans are cold
D

b. They hate late coming
N
c. They are racist
A few
D. They don't have time for chitchat
D
E. They are introverts

F. They love beer

BiafranBushBoy:

Any other school opened for admission now please i wld like to be informed to apply as i studied Electrical Electronics Engineering.if such school requires toefl,ielts,gre...it wldnt interest me

ohakskid:
any word 4rm CIT yet?

Kasich:


Jesus Christ of Nazareth.... Guy how far you
You filled thesame courses with me, its like you do extensive research like me

I actually chose the CIT programme at Uni Bremen to test my eligibility for a masters course with high application, my main focus is on Power Engineering at TUM because of my exposure i am getting at the moment in a hydro power station, but i know it will be easy to get communications engineering because of my CGPA and the courses i offered in school (*actually did electronics option)...

Anyways lets keep in touch hopefully we may end up in thesame class like LOBITO n PLOSMIL

krasavchikMD:
