Germany And Netherland by Sodeeqlekan(m): 10:47am On Jun 28, 2020 |
Which one is the best for international students? |
Re: Germany And Netherland by flyingpig: 10:49am On Jun 28, 2020 |
Sodeeqlekan: Germany. Just secure your 5million naira and you're there in a second. After graduation, and even as a student, there are several jobs to earn you Euros with. Netherlands doesn't have much jobs compared to Germany. Just that Netherlands is perceived to be less racist than Germany. But there are still lots of Blacks doing well in Germany. If you care about making money while schooling and after schooling, go for Germany, but please dust your German language and save up that amount I mentioned. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Sodeeqlekan: I think you have a degree in social sciences? I'm not so sure of opportunities on that field after graduating in Germany, as it is majorly a Tech country. I don't know what your passion and zeals are. But, if you can raise some money to write a WAEC or NECO that can fetch you good grades in Science courses like Physics, Maths, Computer science, German language, you can proceed to Germany and do your Bachelors in Computer related courses or engineering for the same 5m range. That's where i am sure you'll find abundant opportunities to earn decent Euros in Germany while schooling and after graduation. Discouraging I guess. But such rewarding venture is not for the faint-hearted. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Life while studying: Germany: better chance of visa, better student benefits, world class Universities, less expensive, better job opportunity after studying, chance to make more money, more discrimination, bureaucracy, more peaceful people, less police harassment, bigger cities, better connected for traveling around, German language is not popular outside Germany. Netherlands: better student life, happier/more friendly people, more expensive, boring, good for weed smokers, open minded people, more beautiful people, less discrimination, more English speakers, easier to find English speaking student jobs, less bureaucracy, more racial profiling by police, Dutch language can be useful in other Dutch speaking countries. Life After Studying: Germany: better chance to get a job, more global, better chance to save money, better pay, robotic work environment, better integration, better chance to become a citizen, average salary €3,700 (before tax), 18 months to find a job, better chance to extend work visa or take up another study. Netherland: more relaxed working environment, more international working environment, higher chance of working for an international company, higher chance of finding an English speaking job, hard to save money, more black people in good job positions, fewer good job cities, less opportunities, can get a job in another Dutch speaking country if you learn the language, 1 year to find a job, average salary €2,800 (before tax), requires 10 years before applying for citizenship.

flyingpig: In Germany you get a job in your field of study. You cannot have a degree in social science and get a job in IT. It doesn’t matter how much computer knowledge you learned on your own. That’s like a fashion designer hoping to work in a hospital because he watched Grey’s Anatomy. Unless you’re a genius that can hack the World Bank. 2 Likes |

Re: Germany And Netherland by pquaver(m): 1:44pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
jizzyjordan:. Yeah but I will like to correct the Dutch he said can be used elsewhere.. For me German is more spoken elsewhere than Dutch.. I will advise one to learn (Deutsch(German) instead of Dutch). If you Learn German and know English, then Dutch is easier. My friend from Netherlands Felix tried to teach me and in 5 mins I was able to read a full text and understand it.. Just because I can speak German and English.. German is spoken in Austria Switzerland lichtenstein and Luxembourg also so I believe it also gives you wider coverage.. I advise you to go to Germany @Op since I landed here from day 1 I have never regretted it.. I started earning my first Euro the very next day because I arrived here with German language level of B2.. Learn it. it will pay you on the long run.. Ich wünsche euch Alles Gute. 3 Likes |

pquaver: The answer to this is subjective and not one that a google search can correctly answer. Both German and Dutch have 6 countries where they are the official language. But Dutch is more popular around the world and spoken in many more countries as an unofficial but popular language. Even in South Africa, Afrikaans language is basically Dutch, but they won’t say Dutch is their official language. They call it “Afrikaans” Have you heard Swiss-German? It is called German but even the Germans cannot understand it. A Swiss person can understand german spoken in Germany, perfectly. But most Germans cannot understand the german spoken in Switzerland. Still, they say an official language in Switzerland is German. Same with Luxembourg, though it is more similar. Whereas, in the Dutch speaking countries, Dutch is Dutch, just different accents. For example: English is the official language of Nigeria but Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa are native languages. How many Nigerians can actually speak English? Pidgin is even more popular in Nigeria than English, but it is not listed as an official language. But google would tell you that English is our official language. A Nigerian who speaks Pidgin English can also speak and understand proper English. But a British man who speaks proper English cannot understand Pidgin English. The British man would definitely hear some English words in the pidgin but he would struggle to understand what we’re saying. That is what Swiss-German and German looks like. Except that Switzerland calls “German” an official language, contrary to Pidgin English. Someone who learns Dutch would find it easier to communicate in countries where Dutch is spoken, than German language in german speaking countries. Dutch is also easier to learn than German. This argument is useless, I know. But don’t mind me, I just feel like arguing today. PS: I brought this up with my colleagues now and the entire office is arguing about it with lots of noise. German vs Dutch |
Re: Germany And Netherland by Nobody: 4:10pm On Jun 29, 2020 |
Luckycharis: If your course of study is taught in English, you don’t have to learn German before you apply for admission or visa. People just believe basic German knowledge would help your visa application but that’s a myth. You’ll be granted visa without German language as long as your course is taught in English. 1 Like |
