Why Studying in Germany is a Good Idea (Benefits Explained)

[@Patrick-yu1hu]

I have viewed most of Max's videos, and he really knows what he's talking about (Max, you're great!). Proof of this: I have been accepted at 4 German universities. They are: University of Greifswald, University of Konstanz, University of Magdeburg, University of Passau. There is indeed no tuition, and the per-semester fees range between 106-155 Euros per semester. The outlier among those is the University of Konstanz, because the (very rich) state of Baden-Württemberg charges non-EU citizens a 1500 Euro per semester fee. And just for your information, I am a 69 year-old US citizen retiree, and despite that, I received these 4 acceptances (and 7 rejections). I am also fluent in German, having lived/worked in 4 German cities, 1987-1999, and am certified C1-level fluent. The pricing of US universities has become insane, and the quality of the education US universities provide has declined. It's all about branding, especially the Ivy League, MIT, Stanford, Duke, etc.

That's amazing

omg congratulations!!!!! I'm more motivated now! My mom (60 y.o) waned to try out but was a bit unsecure because of her age. we really don't lose anything trying out!! :) all the best in your studies!!

Hey Max, really love your presentation and content of your videos. I was just wondering, if you could make a video on how university life in Germany is really like, for example, the events, the programs, the cultural fests, sports events, etc. that happen.

Do student years count towards the citizenship ? Or is long term residency required

[@hape3862]

Yes, every year of legal stay, including study years, counts for citizenship.

[@abdullahabid2498]

​@hape3862 nope brother this is not like this. If you have one german university degree then it would give you exemption of 1 year for citizenship purpose

Auch die Einbürgerungsbehörden in Baden-Württemberg berücksichtigen ebenfalls künftig die Studien- und Ausbildungszeiten in Deutschland, wenn es darum geht, die relevante Aufenthaltszeit für einen Einbürgerungsanspruch zu berechnen.

@moustafasg2264 yes man. Students don't give tax as much as skilled workers. So in order to obtain PR and therefore citizenship , you need to work on valid work visa and give taxes and keep your profile 👍 good

That cheat code you said " Free education " man I had spent almost 14 months and still I have to wait for around another 6 months for german visa interview. its because in my country the German embassy is really slow don't know why.

But Studienkolleg shouldn't be mandatory for international students. There can be other aspects too to decide whether an applicant is good or not? What do you think

[@djprodluigi]

but doing ausbildung as a non eu is hard to get into coz of visa complications

[@okose06]

Hello Max, First of all i hope everything is going fine by you. So, i tried to talk this situation with so many study abroad companies (idk how they are called) but non of them has given me a clear answer yet. And since i’ve been watching your videos and also them helping me a lot about understanding the university things in germany i decided that i should also take your opinion about this problem too. So basically this summer i graduated from highschool and took my university enterance exam in Turkey. But unfortunately my score came less than i expected it to be. It is equal to a 2.6 as NC score. But other than that my GPA is %94 and at the moment i am doing a Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) in germany. At the starting of august i took the B1 TELC exam (which i think i passed) and will be taking my B2 and C1 too in the meantime. Also i have a band 7 in IELTS too. (And some other extracurriculars too) So here is the question: i really want to study “Informatik” in germany and was aiming for “KIT” before the results were announced. Do you think i will still be having the chance of getting into the university? And if i can’t which universities should i consider with these stats (prefferably technical and TU9 ones). (plus could my extracurriculars and BFD give me a boost in my university applications?) I would really appreciate any response if you can see this comment, thanks so much in advance

Hi Max, I have 3 questions about the C24 bank that you mentioned in a previous video... First: The website has modified the "Zinsen für das Girokonto" to become 2.25% in compare to revolut 2.29%. Do you still recommend it to students like me? Second: About Revolut Bank: It is written on their website that they allow payment worldwide in the local currency of the country, such as the Japanese Yen, for example. Does this also apply to C24 Bank? Third: Does C24 Bank require anmeldung? If not, is this a negative point for C24 and a positive point for Revolut because their account does not need it, especially for newcomers from outside Germany? Thank you very much for the wonderful content 🙏❤️

[@maxyoko]

C24 is a German bank with a German IBAN, but Revolut gives you a Lithuanian IBAN. What I can recommend to you is to get both since they are free. I have both and I use Revolut for foreign currencies and C24 as my main bank in Germany (salaries, savings, etc.). As far as I know, C24 also allows you to make payments in foreign currencies, but the exchange rate is not as good as Revolut. Yes, C24 requires Anmeldung, but this is an essential step to prevent fraudulent behavior.

[@fransiskussisko6613]

But the student VISA for non EU student need a blocked account around 11.000 euros. Is there any others way so can study in Germany without this blocked account ?

[@tiyanakatyal7689]

To participate in exchange programs when do we need to apply? In between of our degree course or beforehand?

[@maxyoko]

You can do it during your degree (e.g. in the 5th semester). You usually apply 8-12 months before the exchange starts

[@KhaledShuvon]

will Germany introduce tution fees in 2028? or there any chance to introduce tution fees in the next 4-5 yrs? whats yr opinion?

[@hape3862]

No, that's quite improbable, German universities have always been free, but in the early 2000s we tried tuition fees, which was very unpopular (duh!). So they were abolished again after only a few years.

[@maxyoko]

I can imagine that some universities will introduce tuition fees for non EU international students But the system of free education will most likely stay the same, so don't worry If something happens I will update you on this channel :)
