Don't listen to false crap. Julliard is a TOP NOTCH school for the Arts. Oh BTW they support Nigerians as well . SO THIS IS A "WORKABLE" (is that a word?) advice to give. If you train at Julliard, you are considered the BEST. http://www.juilliard.edu/about/newsroom/2013-14/juilliard-2013-summer-grants-awarded-six-student-projects-united-states-and?destination=node/30216 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Juilliard_School_people#Notable_alumni CFCman: 1 Like |

Are scholarships fairy tales also? As an American you "forget" that the top constituents of top notch schools include a percentage of people from a DISADVANTAGED background? You forget people have done it before? You asked "what jobs await him after Julliard" like Julliard is a waste of time. So you are MISINFORMING your readers. Now of course if you're advising a complete idiot, sure the marriage way works! babyosisi: 1 Like |

lymelyte: @babyosisi,thanks for opening this thread.I have been following your post @ ozo_emeka thread.I must say,i really benefited from your post. The biggest huddle for you and every immigrant here is the fund to go to school If you come in with a visitor's visa and have a relative willing to support you,your best bet will be to have a co signer for your school loans if they qualify credit wise. It is a big thing to ask anyone to undertake because if you default on your loans the person becomes liable too Most of the time it is usually a sibling that will be willing to take that sort of risk for you. When you secure an admission,the school will help you get a student visa F1 With an FI visa if you have a wife back home,she can come with an F2 visa The good thing about F2 visas is that she can apply for a work permit and work legally as long as you maintain your F1 status. Tuition differs from school to school Universities in America are either state universities or private The state universities are usually much cheaper than the private and tuition in state schools are still high.it can be up to 20-25k a year in professional schools like Engineering. Your computer skills can come in handy even though I think there are lots of people into that field but everyone get their akaraka ( good will) I hope I have helped 4 Likes |

ozo_emeka: So you got yours through mutual hustle.. HAHA FYI my hubby and I came to the USA two months apart ,and we got our green card the same day He came on a JI visa,I came on a J2 He later got a an H1, I got an H4 Our green card was stamped on our green passports the same day,I hope you read that And everything was legal We were married in Nigeria What is your next question? I am saying all these things about myself that I have never revealed in my years on NL just to prove to you that not all Nigerians are living from hand to mouth like you paint Or suffering under the weight of racism Yes racism exists but it cannot stop anyone who is focused If you excel in what you do,even those who don't like you because of your skin color will be forced to respect you They have no choice It is defeatist to hammer on racism and use that to scare people when Nigerians in Lagos are telling Igbos in Lagos to go home Is that not stupidity? There is worse discrimination where you come from Theodore Orji sacked all the neighboring Igbo state indigenes in his employ solely for being non Abians and nothing happened Can anyone try it in the USA? 37 Likes 1 Share |

You came for me though! JHU? Which is only good in medicine and flunks at everything else? IT IS an Ivy. Penn keeps sucking dick to get on that list, everyone always thinks penn is Penn State Let's not get into politics of rankings. Everyone knows of course Cornell beats Dartmouth and Brown babyosisi: |

Ozo_emeka these pass few days you've worked hard at exposing the myth surrounding America and you went about it hard. Truth is I don't believe you're 21. Too much depth in your researched flows propably made up of the once bitten, twice shy regret stance. You're at least in your late twenties. No lele sha, nothing do you. Cheers. 1 Like |
