run for your dear life from these bloody indians who are no good. Customer service is. terrible. no wonder they say awuf dey run belle.

if you wanna do a wire transfer from your account straight to a dorm account in nigeria and have peace of mind just use your account its a flat rate charge of $40.

Western union or money gram no dey do straight deposit to account and Naija banks won't let recipients deposit $$ value in their dorm.

So if you need your naija peeps to have more money for whatever deposit into their dorm they withdraw call abokiii in the streets and shikena.

All these vvirtual people claiming they will do transfer to an account in naija for $3 better i have been a terrible victim (upon how i smart reach) when moneygram or westy's lowest charge depending on amount you sending is abt $12.

Worldremit is scam slow fraudulent. terrible service and glorified money laundering

You just dey slam worldremit with no prove. I actually used them yesterday, fast and cconvienent, its the best way to send money for now. Western union don't work no more and they suck

Hey, congrats on your admission to UMD. I am an alumnus of the school, having graduated last december.

UMD is quite a huge campus with a teeming student population. As you probably know by now, it ranks among the top schools in the US. As you would expect, it is quite a tough school academically but you should be fine. It is located in the city of college park, in the Prince George's county of Maryland. The school is about 15 minutes drive to the white house and about 5 minutes drive away from Washington DC (very close). Housing around the school is average and you can rent a room in a house for between $400 to $600 per month, with or without utilities. It is about 45 minutes drive from Baltimore. The public system in the DMV area (DC, Maryland and Virginia) is quite well developed and many buses run that cover several routes. Maryland's weather is usually not too extreme - neither too cold as in NY or Boston nor too hot as in Florida. The weather is in-between.

UMD has a diversified reliable school shuttle system covering the Prince George's county and environs. Thus there is strong chance that you could get a house off campus along a shuttle route that would take you to and bring you back from school.

There are many Nigerian students (foreign and US-born) going to school here. I'm sure you'll be able to connect with Nigerian students here.

In all, it is a good school to attend. Go terps!


Thanks a lot.

Any suggestion for securing financial aid?

Same thing with worldremit 194. Western Union charges $5 for transfer while world remit charge $4… western union is just a rip off, when you go to collect the money, they give you naira instead of dollar knowing how much you could change it at the black market

Hello House,
I think US student F-1 visa is difficult to get in NOVEMBER/DECEMBER/JANUARY (spring/winter semester). Also in JUNE/JULY/AUGUST (fall semester) .Easier to get MARCH/APRIL/MAY (summer). Or what do you think guys?? Drop your comments grin grin grin

This is an absolute myth. No such thing of it being difficult to get F1 Visa in certain months.

There is an international market where you can buy African foods or better still order online, as for financial aid, I don't think because they offer in-state tuition. Undergraduates tuition is 6390 USD while masters is around 7000 USD a year.
Housing is cheap, u can get a shared apartment for 370 to 400, utilities are like 40 a month
The beaver lodge in their website is 2086 for a semester.
Bro I go tell u the truth, the cold no be here, but they said this year own is not all that weird to compare last year. The most weird I have seen since I came is -9F.
But the place is pretty much good for study

November,december the embassies are usually crowded. The visa issuance rate is low because of our high number and also due to the fact that it is a festive period, their visa policies usually get hardened. For security purposes. Now if you visit the embassies the crowds are not much like nov,dec. but just like you said also, US visa is just luck,confidence and honesty.

Hi Mayflowa, will be entering the US by next month, and my passport will expire April 2017; will be in Nigeria by December, and I plan to renew it then,will I have issues at the POE?

Not at all. You are good to go. Once your passport is valid 6 months into the future at the POE, no one will question you on it.
