Katya, 20, Russia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Why did you decide to go to Germany?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I thought that Germany had a very high academic level. I have been studying here for three years and I am sure that I was not mistaken. At the same time, education is free. I don't know any other country where such a cool education costs 120 euros per semester. In addition, I wanted to enter an engineering specialty, but I could not find a suitable university in Russia. I started studying programming at Bauman, but realized that it was not what I needed. Before Bauman, I had already thought about Germany. My decision was only strengthened there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long did you learn the language?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Two years before I moved. I planned to learn it in a year, but it's unrealistic if you do something other than the language. I was preparing for the USE, so it took longer. I studied with a tutor twice a week, but the main thing was to work on my own. In a year and a half I prepared for TestDaF and passed 4445. The courses in Munich before the CTC exams gave me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I applied a year after graduating from high school, so I had enough time to prepare. I sent them already at the beginning of June. At the end of the month I received a notice from TUM that the package was incomplete. I had completed my externship, so they demanded a confirmation that my 10 years of school were equal to the normal 11. I had to scramble in the middle of the summer to find people who could provide these certificates. In the end there was very little time left to send it, I had to worry.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did your high school grades have any effect on your admission?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yes, for university admission after the collegiate. It was based on the average grade point average of the school-leaving certificate and the St\u00fcdienkolleg. The St\u00fcdienkolleg in Munich was difficult and the passing score for my specialty at TUM was high. A good school-leaving certificate came in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What major are you studying? What do you like\/dislike about your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I am studying Engineering Science at the Technical University of Munich. I like everything: the university facilities, the professors, the organization of my studies, the variety of subjects. The close-knit team helps me a lot during the sessions. I study in two languages, the second one is English. It is also a plus, because English is the language of the scientific community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much money goes out per month to live?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

It's hard for me to say. We live with my brother, he has finished his master's degree, he works here and pays the rent himself. The rest: food, cafes, some shopping - not much, I haven't counted exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you work alongside your studies?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I do not have a severe lack of finances, so I am fully concentrated on my studies. For about six months I have been looking for a job that would be interesting to me professionally and give me experience. I haven't found a suitable option yet. It is not an easy process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a comfortable social circle\/friends in Germany?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it's mostly Russian-speaking guys from my colleagues. I don't have any problems in this area, perhaps I would like to communicate more with students of the faculty, we are future colleagues. But so far my close circle is only compatriots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you regret the move and do you plan to return home after graduation?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The main purpose of my move was to study, and so far it has exceeded my expectations. There was no attitude to take a one-way ticket just to leave. If I get the chance, I'm interested in finishing my master's degree in some other country and working in a third. I will give it a try.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
