Hello everyone...Apparently, so many data has been lost and it just all but makes it tiring for some people to want to keep up the spirit of this thread..that said, we just have to go on with this and pray for Seun & his team.. In other news, I'll be studying at Middlesex University come September..Accommodation has been sorted out £5572.00 (choi! If I'm not mistaken, one can use that ego to mould a few blocks here in Naija while building ya ile ooh).. Anyway, just want to know if I have any Naija brethren here studying over there at MDX already.. and also guys, (if you happen to know about the area; NW4 4BT, The Burroughs, Hendon, London) kindly share some info..because my accommodation is literally opposite the uni..(which was the best out of all their available halls)..so except when I'm just taking a time out to other locations, I'll be in one place for a long time..(and did I forget to mention that I ain't the 'going out' type? 'If nothing needs my attention in Ojuelegba, I no dey reach there ooh') :-D |

tobtap: greater london or midlands....please peeps where do u think the best student experience will be for a postgraduate student from naija That is dependent on what you want to study.The Midlands is great and has highly reputed universities.I am here at the Universities of Leicester,Loughborough,Warwick and other very good schools. Anywhere around London is expensive,trust me I have studied there. Anything further I am happy to offer modest insights. 1 Like |

apolonius: Hello there.. Was almost thinking I'd never get a reply.. What did you study? How's the area like in terms of food & transport expenses, part-time job availability and the kinds (should I choose to engage in it), what are the conditions about the halls that you sometime had problems with (yea Usher Hall <en suite> and most importantly, the academic pattern deployed because I'll be studying computer networks... what to expect on resumption concerning school work and nature of the lectures..Thanks 1 Like |

Emmagency: Generally,the academic culture there is one that you will enjoy and excel in. The halls are generally good.Your hall is a very short walk to the Hendon station area-there is an African shop and restaurant almost opposite the tube station.Of course,a short bus ride to Burn Oak or even a tube ride to Burnt Oak which is the next community to Hendon and Colindale will give you access to tens of African shops and a number of very cheap African restaurants. On the sisters,you will meet very many begining from the Halls. Just be open and reach out confidently-the normal girlie forming that makes them who we cherish dey sha. Then,your hall is 2-3 minutes walk to over 6 pubs that run mild clubs at weekends. You will enjoy it. I studied law there. A number of friends from Naija studied computer blabla there;if you ever run into problems just holla me to connect you with them.About 10 of them including a cousin studied something around your course. 1 Like |

Emmagency: Transport links is as good as it's ever going to be. A couple of buses runs directly from the front of your accommodation, Hendon central, burnt oak, collidale, Golders Green etc etc are British rail and underground links. Loads of shops to look after your hungry stomach. Jobwise - networking with students, usually points you in the right direction (do not exceed your working restrictions allowable on your visa). Regarding lectures, attend all seminars and lectures irrespective of how irrelevant you feel they seem. Most importantly, network with same module colleagues and study well. 1 Like |

@Lexusg & Aplonious... You guys rock! Can't tell you how happy I am for your warm and exciting replies.. Aplonious, although I didn't ask about the sisters thanks for the heads up...(e follow for the matter ) hope say you no break their hearts tire sha? #lolA graph showed that Nigerian students are more in the School of Computer Science that students from any other foreign nation at MDX..so please connect me ooh.. I'd like to discus with these guys first hand.. (Or will I be too stingy if I aim for Summa Cum Laude?) so I'll need all the info I can get... Let's come down to figures, an average meal at an African shop let's say eba & soup amounts to how much exactly? and also like how much did you guys spend every week on feeding and transportation? |

Emmagency: @Lexusg & Aplonious... You guys rock! Can't tell you how happy I am for your warm and exciting replies.. Aplonious, although I didn't ask about the sisters Cheaper to buy stuffs and cook yourself. But a plate of Eba, meat(s) + water, should be within the region of £7-£10 a plate. Regarding transportation, check out transport for london website. Students discount cards are also available, for relative discounts |
| Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by apolonius(m): 8:37pm On Jun 30, 2014 |
Cost of those is relative,really.Talking about food,in the closest Naija restaurant to you it is anything around 15 pounds on the average;in Lekki small restaurant it is 5 pounds. By the way,there is a Chinese restaurant about a minute walk from your hall and the school;5 pounds can buy you a good rice meal. On transportation,it also varies and is dependent on where you want to go to.If you are asking about your school area and the next community like Colindale,it is all walkable within 7-15 minutes on the average.From experience,living around Hendon and Colindale is enough for all you need and most of what you want. A bus ride to Colindale-bus 204 should cost you less than 4 pounds to and from. Of course,you will need to get an oyster;it discounts journeys for you. Any other specific question,I am happy to attempt an answer. |

You guys are great...and thanks for the help so far.. I guess one will just only have to find out first hand the rest of the things that comes with studying in the UK.. one last question, @Lexusg & Aplonious...on a scale of 1-10, how'd you rate the school itself (academics, teaching, workshops, facilities, practicals, students support, etc) during your time there..?? Also, another thing I've been thinking is the accent of the lecturers..did you guys have any major problem with any of them? What's the lowest weather temperature you ever witnessed? And just to be clear, MDX is in outer London right?? |

And just to be clear, MDX is in outer London right?? Would rate MDX 7/10, I got what I intended to get from the university. You will adapt to the accent, don't worry about that. If you run into any difficulties academically, speak out ASAP. Middlesex is in London. It's about 30 minutes drive to Oxford Street(traffic permitting). Have seen all weather extremes, snow, heat etc etc Just buy clothes to suit the weather, as it changes(ever heard people been insulted with the British weather), thats how it changes. Spend loads of time in the library and read well well. £5k tuition no be joke. 1 Like |
