Lives in Germany
Oh, and by this I don’t mean the education system. That is world class, one of the best you can get in EU countries.
But yeah studying here is aweful. Damn annoying.
Why?
Because there is so much to do here.
- 26 beautiful Schengen countries at your fingertips. Just book a bus, flight or a train ticket and you are good to go. I live in Passau, Germany and I can just literally walk over to Austria. By foot.
- More concerts than you can imagine. Metallica, Slipknot etc does a Europe tour every year. Ed Sheeran comes to Munich like its his summer home.
- Beer festivals like they are about to blow up. Oktoberfest, Passauer Dult, Chiemseer, the list goes on and on.
- The Alps. Don’t want to go until Switzerland? Go to Füssen or Bayerisch Walden and you are in the Alps.
- Public saunas, nudist beaches, just in case you want to feast your eyes.
You get the gist right?
Now the studying. Due to reasons aforementioned, it can be dull because of the vibrant environment you get to live in.
It's good to have a German stamp on your degree. Like I said, one of the best you can get.
- Amazing facilities, even if you are studying in a small University.
- 120 credit based system, which means you got a lot of stuff to live upto.
- Universities tend to focus on research, while University of Applied Sciences are more practical oriented.
- The syllabus is designed to keep you on your toes. One night fight doesn't work out here.
- Lots of student discounts on train and city services. Free Amazon Prime for a year.
- Lots of Part time work options, English based as well. However it's good to get familiar with German language as it will prove to be of an immense help.
- People are nice, teachers helpful. But only to an extent. If you try their patience, get ready to be on the receiving end of their wrath.
It's been a year since I am studying in Germany. Loved it so far.
