The school will require students to buy medical insurance. You can confirm what you want to buy in the relevant departments of the school, and pay the fee on time every month after confirmation, so that everyone can enjoy the national medical benefits and reduce the cost of illness.

Studying in Germany, international students can take part-time jobs and pay taxes on their jobs. As a special group, students need to complete the tax payment process, but they can apply for tax refund in a unified way every year, as long as they produce qualified and complete documents.
Therefore, everyone must apply for their own tax cards and apply for jobs through formal channels. When they enter the formal work, they need to sign the contract, and then bring the materials to the relevant departments to submit the tax refund application within the specified time. Of course, only when they pay taxes can they get a tax refund.
4. Safety precautions for studying in Germany
1. Safety of accommodation
No matter in which country, as long as you leave home, finding a house is a necessary process. How to find this house, how to find it, and where to find it must be carefully considered. The suggestion given here is to find one or two familiar classmates and rent a well-equipped, not too old and safe house around the school or not too far from the school through a legal and formal intermediary agency. If you like to live alone, you should also look for a house with a large number of people nearby and a high safety factor. After the housing is arranged, even if you live alone, you should pay attention to creating a feeling of multiple people living, or don't let people find you living alone. Remember to turn off water and electricity, gas and doors and windows before going to bed and going out.
2. Travel safety.
There are many ways to travel, such as driving, subway, bus, bicycle, taxi and so on. International students who drive their own cars should pay attention to the detailed understanding of German traffic regulations, including parking rules, not only remember the traffic regulations, but also make sure that you are familiar with German road traffic. Because it's not good to be beaten or beaten. As for public transport such as subway and bus, pay attention to pickpockets on the bus. After all, public transportation is environmentally friendly and cheap, so it's too easy to fish in troubled waters. Pay attention to your own safety while protecting your own property. Whether to sit in the middle of the car or in the middle of the car. Riding a bike is a way with a high degree of freedom, but don't indulge your freedom too much, pay attention to your own safety and obey the rules. Be careful not to take a black taxi when taking a taxi. Regular taxis should also remember the license plate number and proof of studying abroad. Go together when traveling.
3. Food safety.
Eating is indispensable in life. You can choose the school canteen, the restaurant outside, or you can cook by yourself. No matter where you eat, you must pay attention to food safety, including what food you are allergic to or whether the food is not fresh. When cooking by yourself, you must make sure that the ingredients you bought in Germany are the ones you know in China, and whether you cooked them.
4. Social security.
In Germany, social intercourse is not as frequent as in France, but it is still quite a lot, so pay attention to your manners and even your clothes. Because you are in Germany, there are many international students, and you don't know if others have any religious beliefs or taboos. So when you take part in any social activities, you should know in advance the forms of activities, some people's religious beliefs and their life taboos. If you have an inevitable conflict with someone under unclear circumstances, you must apologize first to show that you didn't mean it, but that you were negligent. After all, it is right not to offend classmates in studying abroad.
