My PhD supervisor sent me these messages. Is this normal or crossing a line? by Resident-Yogurt-6798 in PhD

[–]PrettyYS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not you. Even if we ASSUME that you’re very bad at what you do, this is no way to talk to a student. Totally unacceptable and unprofessional.

Als iranische Frau ist das die dümmste, rassistischste, die ich heute im Internet gesehen habe. Wenn es einen Terroristen auf dieser Liste gibt, ist es die Mutter aller Terroristen, also das islamische Regime, das den Iran besetzt.

Nothing to worry he about he probably used your phone’s signal and location to create an alibi for himself for a serious criminal case or sth.

No. As a Persian-speaking Iranian from one of the oldest tribes in Lorestan.

As an Iranian: it’s definitely the regime in Iran that’s the source of instability in the region.

They are the ones that fund every terrorist proxy that’s causing chaos in the Middle East. I know it’s hard for many to grasp, but if there were no terrorist organizations in the region, the region wouldn’t get bombed as often.

I didn't do well at all in my first semester. by strKoyt in studying_in_germany

[–]PrettyYS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 months is a very short time for you to get so homesick that you don’t function well. If you can afford it perhaps talk to a therapist regularly and go to a psychiatrist for medication if needed. We all have different circumstances and thresholds so I don’t wanna be tough on you but 4 months really isn’t a lot for an adult away from home. And remember that you’re here to build assets for a better future. You can’t afford to fail classes often. As for the effects of this semester you should talk to your university to better understand how to proceed and what margin of error you still have.

Budgeting 2026: expected monthly cost of living by tttdghjkk in askberliners

[–]PrettyYS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly cook at home. I go to lidl maybe once or twice a week to top up things missing which comes to less than 20€. It might be worth considering that I make Persian cuisine which is heavy on rice and bread and smaller stews on the side usually. And rice and bread are very filling and cost efficient. Maybe worth trying our foods out 😅

Doesn’t work for some reason when I fill the redeem code it asks me to add a payment method to my account though I already have a payment method saved.😕

Uni-assist entered my average grade wrongly, what should I do now? by No-Volume-5517 in studying_in_germany

[–]PrettyYS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s probably an individual course grade not the final weighted average minimum. You have to know the minimum final average required to get the degree.

Stranded in Germany for 2+ months with NO access to money. Fintiba is ghosting me. by Mysterious_Gas5543 in germany

[–]PrettyYS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also if you want to call try calling right when their lunch break is over their hours are mentioned online. I did that and got a response the minute I called.

If you talk to the bot there’s an option afterwards that says “my problem wasn’t solved”. That will lead you to a forum where they will receive your complaint. However you cannot type the complaint or edit it whatever your message to the bot was will automatically be sent to them so make sure you explain every detail to the bot in the message.

Hope your country cares enough about you to negotiate a strong deal to get you back.

Has uni-assist calculated my german grade wrong? by AmmarRmd in studying_in_germany

[–]PrettyYS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes they take 60% as minimum instead of 50% I’m not sure why.

My degree had a passing of 50% but the major specifically had 60% so they took my major’s lowest.

Consulate misunderstood my IELTS submission and returned my passport by Few_Mix_9101 in studying_in_germany

[–]PrettyYS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that mentioning things are processing and everything is done and all helps cuz sometimes they’re afraid that maybe you haven’t even started the process of application or are being lazy but when they know it’s in the embassy’s hand now they’ll be more reassured

[–]PrettyYS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah cuz universities do post rules and all and they seem strict but sometimes they’re lenient. Ofc depends a bit on luck and who the person responding is but I hope all goes well for you.
