Unfortunately, it has no value on the way out. It was important for me to acquire quality knowledge on my own. Besides, starting to live independently in my 19 years in another country was a challenge for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long did it take you to learn the language? Were there any difficulties after moving?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I learned German at school, starting in second grade. From the eighth grade onwards, we began to have in-depth lessons with a native speaker. As it turned out after I moved there, this was not enough, and I gained the most knowledge during the three years I lived in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long did it take you to collect the application package? What difficulties were there in the enrollment process?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the difficulties consisted in the lack of step-by-step instructions. I did not understand which documents were needed, which ones needed to be translated, which ones needed to be certified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the pros and cons of your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the plus side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The study itself, over 90% of information is interesting and relevant;<\/li><li>lack of mandatory attendance;<\/li><li>attitude towards students. One can especially feel the difference after school in the former Soviet Union;<\/li><li>campus development, library, computers for public use.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the downside:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>gigantic timeframes for exam revision: up to two months. Some professors use this time to the fullest;<\/li><li>lack of unified groups. There are a huge number of students in my specialty, which makes it difficult to get to know someone. Because of the large flow of students, of course, it is impossible to build trust with professors. In 90% cases, I did not even communicate with them personally.<\/li><li>In my major, there is no way to repeat the exam (if you fail) in a short period of time, you have to wait at least a semester.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much money goes out per month to live?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 800 euros<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you work alongside your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I moonlight at shows and forums about 2-3 times a month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Did you find a comfortable social circle in Germany?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have managed to build a comfortable social circle. It is mainly made up of people who communicate in my native language or in Russian. Only a small part of my social circle is German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you regret moving? Are you thinking of returning to your home country after your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don't regret the decision at all. I would make this decision again through the prism of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am definitely not planning to return to my home country after my studies. I want to start my career in Germany. If I like it, I will definitely stay!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Irina, 22 years old, Moldova What specialty are you studying?
