Hello Nairalanders, I just completed my NYSC and am about to conclude my processings to a university in UK (London) for my Masters Degree.

I just want you guys to please share your various experiences maybe as a Nigerian student in UK or something you've heard from your buddies there about surviving amidst accommodation choices, shopping, socializing, transportation, finances, part time work options, food and so on...

I will be taking a 2yrs course so I will really need good survival tips and how I can stay away from trouble (I'm not the troublesome type tho ) with the security agents.

Thanks.
