Were there any difficulties with the language during your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During my 4 years of undergraduate studies at MGIMO, I learned German up to the C1 level. We had an intensive program, about 20 hours a week. At the same time, I studied the language at the Gette Institute. During my studies, I felt that my knowledge was quite sufficient, but I kept honing my language skills. About a year after I moved, I took the C2 certificate exam just for the sake of ticking off my German learning history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long did it take you to collect the application package? What were the difficulties in enrollment?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There wasn't much competition for my program as it is a very rare direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took about three months to prepare the documents. The biggest expense was translations. But it also took a lot of time and resources to check and correct the motivation letter and CV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How did and did your high school grades\/grades on your diploma affect your admission?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think in my case they didn't have any impact at all, even though they were good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What major are you studying? What do you like\/dislike about your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I'm finishing my master's degree in business ethics. It's a cross between economics and philosophy. It's a rigorous academic approach to study. I have an ambivalent attitude towards it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the one hand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I got a really good base<\/li><li>learned how to write scientific papers<\/li><li>mastered different methods of analyzing huge amounts of information<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I still don't fully understand where and how to put what I have learned into practice<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How much money goes out per month to live?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 800 euros for the basics. I live in Dresden, which is not the most expensive city to live in. Added to that amount are the unplanned expenses for self-love. That's another 200 euros. But it is still less than my expenses in Moscow.<\/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\">Before the pandemic, I worked as a hostess and promoter through an agency. There they agreed with me in advance on convenient working hours and matched me with suitable vacancies. Then I worked as a barista in a coffee shop in the city center. I loved it everywhere and the income was just enough for my wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don't have financial difficulties because I am still supported by my parents, which is kind of sad. But I am very grateful to them and I know that they are not burdened by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Have you found a comfortable social circle\/friends in Germany?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, I have fully integrated into local life. Now about 80% of my friends are Germans. Among the rest there are practically no guys from Russia, which I sometimes miss. This circle of socialization has developed because I met a young man who was born and grew up in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do you regret the move and do you plan to return to Russia after your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don't regret the move at all, and I can definitely say that it has divided my life into before and after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I plan to continue my European expierience in the near future. I don't want to go back. Dresden has become a second home for me, and I don't see my stay here as something temporary. In spring I will finish my master's thesis and look for a job in Germany.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anastasia, 23, Russia Why did you decide to apply to Germany?
