If you are planning to study abroad, it is very likely that
you will include Germany as one of your options. That's because you want to
take any of the STEM courses or go to the destination, which is light in the pocket,
Germany ticks all the right boxes. Apart from this, the German institutions of
higher education are not limited to STEM courses, because courses like business
management and humanities have proved to be extremely popular among
international students.
But when academic prestige happens, and okay, the guiding
principle on which one chooses a destination, you stand on the other important
aspects of the country to achieve more, like its culture, food habits, DOS and
Don's, and also available work opportunities for students. So here we are going
to tell you some things during your Study in Germany, which you do not need to
do.
What not to do in
Germany:
Do not pay any
advance for a rental apartment:
If someone has offered you an apartment and has told you
that you make an advance payment and send money from India, no! Do not pay any
advance for home. Apart from this, as far as I know that no home owner tells
you to pay the deposit before occupying the room. You can sign the contract
from India, but will not make any payment. Also read the contracts very
carefully.
Carry your passport
everywhere, until you get your residence permit:
It is important to look at the refugee crisis and perhaps
you should be stopped and asked randomly at any time. The best bet is that
unless you get your residence permit, do not go to another country. I have
heard the rare cases of taking students to the station for lack of documents.
Don’t be late:
German people are punctual people and they expect this from
visitors too. If you are making plans with a local, then you perform better on
time, and if you are using public transportation, you can expect to go by bus
or train according to the timetable.
Being insensitive
about WWII:
There can be many monuments and museums about war, but it is
still a poignant subject. They take anything connected with war very seriously,
so be sensitive while bringing it. It is not that the Germans do not like to
talk about war, but this is not a happy subject for them. It can also apply to
many countries affected by the war, so be respected while studying abroad in
Europe.
Wearing “house shoes”
outside:
You can see the bark strolling in the city compared to
seeing the German bare feet in your homes. Germans love their "home
shoes" which are basically a mixture between slippers and real shoes and
should be worn only while in the comfort of their home. Want to turn heads?
Wear a pair of Birkenstocks down the city.
Taking long showers:
Along with the punctuality of the whole time, the German did
not waste time doing things such as long running rain. This is a quick part of
your routine, there is not a form of relaxation, so long as you do not want
your host's parents screaming at you, be brief.
