Yes, it is. The good thing is you'd be attending a reputable Uni. On the fun side, you'd live in a town with streets lined with pubs/clubs and a notorious beach filled with '14 years bros' smiley

Footlocker: Most of the nigerian peeps coming uk (London,England precisely)! That passed through my house all happened to have loaded parents/relatives! So survival was not an issue for them! If your parents or whoever can afford to pay such astronomical tuition fees in bulk which the british education system love so much clearly you ain't got no worries! The way nigerians sent/send money for their offspring in the diaspora baffled me! So I don't no what this thread is about! Student loans / student grants paid MY fees! Then of course street money gave that luxury you can't get otherwise!

hmmm...what is street money?

HOUSE!!! anyone in university of dundee
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by ShegsA(m): 1:11pm On Jul 09, 2014
justwise:

I have lived in Portsmouth and done a short course in that university.

Portsmouth uni is a good school, going up in ranking now and has good facilities. It has free bus ride for all students, so living far from uni is not a problem because uni bus runs from 7am till 10pm or later.

Cost of living is a bit on the high side but still affordable, rents are not too expensive if you rent outside commercial road( the town center and uni areas).

There are a healthy amount of Nigerian students there and student fellowship center where you will find quite a number of Nigerians.

Portsmouth is just about an hr to 2hrs away from London with good road networks.

Thanks a lot for this info. Really appreciate it.

Yea..I received it in early may... I'm going for a BSc program so the least required fee to pay before you can receive your unconditional offer and then your CAS is £3000.. not sure of the fee for MSc.. but the amount should be stated in your conditional offer...

Hey people. Please i need ur help. I need to make a choice on offers from UWE, Bradford & Coventry. Im going in for HRM. All CIPD accredited. But I'm more concerned about the rankings of the school.
My heart was set on Aston but unfortunately i wasnt given an offer. So im stuck with these and cant seem to make a choice. Will be glad if anyone can chip in opinions. Thanks

Firstly, What are u going in for? M.sc or B.sc? I'll speak like you were going in for M.SC
If I was keen about the rankings, I would go to UWE. Heard the rate at which students come out with distinction is relatively high. One arguably thing is that people do not really make good grades in most of the highly rank unis, compared to the ones in "ordinary" Unis. Say for example, you go to Manchester uni will really have to put in more effort to make a distinction, whereas, someone in a uni like Anglia Ruskin or Glamorgan uni may not struggle so much to make a distinction. And that is not to say that Manchy deliberately makes it difficult to excel or that ARU easily makes students pass unnecessarily. People might argue about the content of what both Unis teach but I think at the end of the day, it's about the people who graduate from the uni that makes the final proof of the what a uni gives.

Sometimes, your cv sells when you say "Master degree in XYC with Distinction from Salford university" than when you say "Master degree I XYC from Manchester University". However, some uni names flag quickly regardless of if you put the grades on ur cv or not. Eg "Master degree in XYC from Cambridge, Oxford, LSE, Kings College, Cranfield, Edinbburgh, etc", if you get the picture I'm tryna paint.

So It's up to you. IF yoU are looking for where to pass all easiLy, of course with support from uni, try UWE, Bristol. Coventry is my second choice and then Bradford. Coventry has nice after-class community life so you can blend studies with leisure, if you can manage it. Bradford, I think I'm partial because of the terrain... Feels more like Cambridge ancient environment and if you believe in the "man and his environment" school of thought, like me, I'm not sure I can study well in Bradford, regardless of how good the lecturers deliver.

This is just my opinion, I may have the wrong perception of these things but then, at some point, perception becomes somewhat reality... But I guess it gives you an idea what to look out for when you're making the final choice of uni. One can't help but consider the fees you are willing to pay and for what you are actually chasing after... A paper or a career.

Hope this helps...
