Germany is a beautiful country in the middle of Europe. Germany attracts visitors and students worldwide because of its various advantages, the standard of living, culture, and traditions, and job opportunities. The economy of Germany is also one of the largest in the world and is stable. People have high hopes when they go to Germany as it is a country of hope, success, and innovation. The beautiful landscape and the interesting architecture play an important part in attracting ex-pats.
How can we forget about the numerous castles? The scenic views are an interesting trait of Germany, especially for people coming from outside of Europe. Visiting Germany is a mystical experience. Germany has an amazing heritage of castles. These castles might have been the homes of kings before, and now they are valuable parts of Germany serving as cultural objects and museums, attracting thousands of visitors from around the world. The vibe of Germany is vibrant.
Cost of living
If you study in Germany, you will require around 853 EUR/month to meet the necessary living expenses (according to the 2020 estimations). Suppose you require a visa to enter Germany. In that case, you will be required to attach proof of financial stability for your visa application, and this is usually done through a German blocked account. In Germany, International students generally find their way during their studies from the country's part-time jobs, especially for students.
If you are studying in Germany, you can work 120 full days or 240 half days annually. Generally, the part-time jobs include teaching or research assistants at university, language tutors, support staff at restaurants or bars. While working part-time, students get an opportunity to earn a little extra pocket money and learn better about the life of the locals.
German lifestyle
Germans emphasize structure and punctuality, so make sure to be punctual if you want to befriend a local. The country has a fantastic culture, majorly influenced by its rich history and partly by the bordering countries. Germans value hard work, perfection, and precision, which is why they might seem reserved initially, but once you know them, you will find they are quite friendly. They welcome international students with open arms, so you do not have to worry about comfort.
Altogether, the life of international students in Germany is an experience of a lifetime. The majority of German cities fancy an active nightlife. Germany is the perfect place to balance study and social life with several student-friendly places, festivals, and extra-curricular activities.
Language
German is the official language in the country. The majority of the population speaks German. However, many speak English in larger cities. Interacting with locals will help you learn and improve your German language skills, and it is always safer to ask for directions in the language the majority understand. However, even if you cannot speak German, there is nothing to worry about as Germans are accustomed to internationals.
