Pension for student years...

Pension for student years in Germany Hi, I recently found out at the alumni meeting that study times in Germany count for pension. Reading on the page of deutsche Rentenversicherung it turns that 8 years count, but one can pay for the rest. I am now at my 22nd semester (diploma, master, doctorate and now fernstudium). Also, if getting a Spätaussiedlung I might count my Romanian payment years. It is a question if Germany would be a better option than Romania, as for example also for Romania the German voluntary experience for which I just got paper counts. Do you know whom to address to? thank you and kind regards Maria
