In reality, the money management process comes as the first step that you will be taking towards becoming an adult. So, here are some tips that...

It has been a year now, since i landed in Germany for my Masters. In the past one year, there have been numerous times, many of my friends, relatives, kith and kin have asked me one same question, "HOW DO THEY TEACH THERE??" or "HOW'S THE TEACHING DIFFERENT FROM THE COLLEGES IN INDIA.?".  First and foremost, i would like to introduce myself as an International student of Indian origin, doing my Masters in Germany. I was intrigued by these questions so much, because whenever i do Skype or speak to someone from my home country, i tend to answer these type of questions.

Everyone are applying for higher studies and going abroad! Many apply on their own, some ask their friends for help, but most of them apply via Consultancies. I am here to explain you, what really happens when you go to consultancies. ~This post is only relatable, if you are applying for Europe or Germany. ~ ~I know this is a long post, please read till the end~ Image source: Google #1 University selections: The consultancies will tell you that, your grades are comparatively low. You can apply for 5 universities and they will take care of the rest and get you an admission. Reality:   The consultancies will not guide you in anyway.

What you need?: You do not need any consultancy to help you, you need only some advice and guidance from the people who are already in German...

As a student, you many have to pay around 300 euros per semester.   In the recent years, Germany has made its education, free of cost. You may ask, how does Germany manage to provide free education, it is very simple. In Germany the people agree to pay high taxes, which they get back as very good services from the government. And moreover, Germany has a lower percentage of students opting for college, contrary to countries like America or India. In fact, from long back, there had been no tuition fees in Germany, but there are still some universities collecting a small amount of fees as a process to speed up the process of completing the degree.  WHY GERMANY? To your surprise, there are other countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden and some Northern European countries, who provide ...

Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore.
