Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 745

Ever since he came to Germany, Dong Qiangqiang often encountered multiple-choice questions, sometimes choosing one of the two, and occasionally choosing one of the three, but the most common one was to choose one more.

If you are in China, choosing a university is a simple matter for senior high school students: under the guidance of teachers and families, if you have a good score in the college entrance examination, you can go to 985 or 211; The three books make people rank seniority.Of course, in addition to the role of grades, there are other criteria such as whether the school is well-known, whether they are interested in majors, and how close they are to home. Many people will eventually choose to go within the scope of their choice. A famous university is often more important than what major to study. After all, only a few people will engage in things related to their major after graduation, and most people will eventually stay away from their major. Will be with myself for a lifetime.

If you are going to the United States, it is not difficult to choose a university.There are many ranking systems such as Ivy League universities, top ten famous science and engineering schools, top ten top business schools, top ten medical schools, top ten liberal arts colleges, and top ten military academies, but no matter which one you choose, there are two outstanding features: elite education and High tuition fees.Therefore, in addition to good TOEFL and GRE scores, students going to the United States also need to look at their own economic strength.Because if you do not apply for a full scholarship from an American university, it means you have to study abroad at your own expense.

But Dong Qiangqiang came from Germany.

There are about 300+ public institutions of higher learning in Germany, including 100+ comprehensive universities (all of which are liberal arts and sciences), 160+ universities of applied technology (all of which are all liberal arts and sciences), and 40+ art and music colleges. The federal states allocate their own funds, and the university has complete autonomy.

Unlike the British and American education systems, there was no so-called elite university rankings in Germany in 2002 (there was no bachelor’s degree in Germany at that time, and all undergraduate and master’s programs were combined), although Germany did not lack well-known universities.For example, the University of Heidelberg, which was founded in 1386 and is famous for its law and medicine; the University of Würzburg, which has 14 Nobel Prize winners including Roentgen, the discoverer of Roentgen rays; Leipzig, where Goethe, the most famous thinker in Germany, studied University; Johannes Gutenberg University, named after the No. 1 Gutenberg of European movable type printing, as for the music palace level school, there are more. Although this kind of university is not easy to find, but you can still find it with a little hard work. There are many universities with centuries-old history.

Americans have classified different universities according to different dimensions, and international students from other countries can find schools that match their conditions relatively easily by following the map.However, German universities have basically inherited the philosophy of Wilhelm von Humboldt, the originator of German thinkers and educators. The main function of higher scientific education institutions is to scientifically carry out research work, promote social progress, and label and rank universities. Pointless and boring.

Dong Qiangqiang doesn't understand education, but he needs a standard for choosing a university.If the German doesn't provide a standard, he has to find one himself.

In fact, this question has been circling in his mind since the first day of his preparatory school, and now he already has the answer.

His standard is very simple, just one sentence: the university he can graduate as soon as possible is the university he wants to go to.After all, the standard length of study for a master’s degree in Germany is 5 years (masters taught in English are mostly 2-2.5 years), and this is still a fast-reading and fast-testing person, and there are not a few people who spend 6-7 years or even longer. The best time of my life is spent on reading.

He knew that Wiesbaden is the capital of Hesse in the central and western part of Germany. It is a small city (Dong Qiangqiang believes that Germany is basically a small city except for a few sporadic big cities). It is adjacent to the Rhine River and the Taunus Mountain. As early as the ancient Roman period, it was famous for its many hot springs, so it is also a famous sanctuary.Benefiting from the close proximity to the financial center of Frankfurt, it has developed rapidly in recent years.But Tong Lele also said just now that if you want to study such a popular major as business management, you have to wait patiently. Although she said that you can usually get the admission letter in one to two semesters, Dong Qiangqiang had similar experiences before. He went to apply for a student dormitory at the University of Hannover, but Hannah University did not issue him a number plate to tell him how many students were ahead or how long he had to wait to get the dormitory, but only said "Unfortunately, please continue to be patient." Wait" and other comforting words.If you want to apply for popular majors, the treatment is similar.

Originally, the study time is longer than that of the British and American masters, and it will take another year and a half to start studying.In case there is another moth who doesn't pass the exam or something in the middle, wouldn't he have to be 30 years old to graduate?
Forever and forever, this hatred is endless.

So Dong Qiangqiang quickly made a decision.

"Where is that Trier University? Is it public?" Dong Qiangqiang was embarrassed and asked if it was Yeji University, "Clayton University, right? If you graduate, can the domestic Ministry of Education recognize your qualifications?"

"It's terrible to be uneducated." Tong Lele understood Dong Qiangqiang's subtext in a second, and said sternly after laughing, "Trier is the oldest city in Germany, with a history of more than 2000 years. It is located at the border of Germany, France, Luxembourg and Belgium. , the university was first developed together with the city, and its law and psychology majors are among the best in German universities.”

"More than 2000 years? Is it true or not?" Dong Qiangqiang has read too many short-selling reports recently, and habitually questioned Tong Lele's data. "Is there such an ancient city in Germany? Didn't it exist during the Roman Empire?"

"I was lucky enough to visit once when I first came to Germany. There are many relics of the ancient Roman Empire in the city. It's normal that you haven't heard of this city. Many people in the country have never heard of it. But there is a famous person in Trier who you must know, and It’s still the kind of celebrity that everyone in China knows.”

"Celebrity? Who?" Dong Qiangqiang's curiosity was aroused by these words, "Would it be Einstein?"

"It's Marx, the great spiritual leader of our proletariat." Tong Lele said deliberately, she was really in a good mood.

"Impossible? Karl Marx belonged to Trier?" Dong Qiangqiang had never heard of Marx's hometown in his memory, so he couldn't argue for a while, so he could only murmur, "Then I'm really ignorant."

"Marx spent his childhood and adolescence in Trier. Later, he left Trier after he was admitted to university. He went to the University of Bonn and the University of Berlin to study successively. When he finally graduated, he was a doctor of philosophy at the University of Jena. It is said that Trier There is still an old "Das Kapital" in the university library, I don't know if it is true or not." Tong Lele joked, "If you go there, you can look it up."

"Das Kapital, Marx, University of Trier." Dong Qiangqiang chanted back and forth, and Lu Wei's words floated in his mind, and he couldn't help saying, "It seems that we should find a chance to go to the University of Trier."

"Why don't you ask your girlfriend's opinion?" Tong Lele tilted her head, "Isn't she studying in Munich? You don't plan to go find her?"

"She said that I will decide whether to apply to Munich. After all, even though we are together in the past, I still have to read the book by myself. She doesn't want to force me to go there, lest I will not be happy if I can't read it in the end." Dong Qiangqiang explained, "Besides, even if I apply, I may not be able to get the admission letter from the Technical University of Munich, and I may have to wait for a long time."

"It makes sense." Tong Lele agreed, "Then think about it yourself, and if there is any other news, I will tell you at any time..."

Before Tong Lele finished speaking, everyone's eyes suddenly went dark. Before everyone could figure out what was going on, there were shouts, wine bottles breaking, knives and forks falling, children crying, cursing, and bandit whistles were all around. There was a sound.

With the help of the street lamp outside the window, Dong Qiangqiang could vaguely see several shadows walking back and forth in the hazy gray-black lobby.

"Everyone sit together and pay attention to safety." Dong Qiangqiang was alert and Lei Lanting stood at the outermost side of the table, protecting all the girls behind him.

About two to three minutes later, the lobby was restored to lighting again, the crowd burst into cheers, and players running again appeared on the TV.

"I tripped just now, I'm sorry for affecting everyone's appetite. To express my apologies, we will give each table a fruit plate. I hope you all have a wonderful night." When the manager's voice fell, the melodious and melodious blues jazz had already started to play. .

"What did I think? It turned out to be tripping..." Lei Lanting curled his lips and reached out to grab the last cherry tomato on the plate, when footsteps came from behind him.

"Did it come so soon? The Germans are very efficient." Lei Lanting turned around while talking.

"Sorry I'm late." A familiar male voice greeted, "Everyone, are you okay?"
