KingRuckus: Guys, I got admission from both Kingston Uni & University of Hertfordshire ; please which 1 offers the better academic quality & correct social life ??
January entry, 2015.

From the leauge table here: http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings

It's obvious Hertfordshire is far better. Nevertheless, you still have to consider location, money involved and student life

Reporting Live from Hamad International! Got here 2 hours agogrin Na God go punish all our Nigerian Airlines oo with their piss poor service I swear. My flight was super smooth with 5 star service I repeat 5 star service!! Chai!

Planned to go to their Oryx Lounge but the airport itself na lounge with fast working free wifi and all, so no need to blow $40 on the Oryx Lounge any more.

I almost missed my flight today oo and even carried a little bit of excess luggage (Carried two bags, one na 85% Indomie grin cheesy) but talking nice and smiling wink to the fine lady at their check in desk allowed me get away with being late and paying for excess luggage.

Arriving London in the morning. God bless us all here and allow us achieve fantastic grades in our post grad endeavors, Amen!

No shaking ask as many questions as you want grin . No the Oryx Lounge you book when you get here. My stop-over is for 6 hrs( there are stop-overs for less time or more tho). It's a fantastic Airline I must say.

Most houses are gone online. The few you'll find are via word of mouth

Where exactly are you coming from?

BTW, there's a double room and double bed available very close to school. The person listed it as 320 but you could get it for 300pm.
All bills inclusive

I would have taken it but i already paid for another place before he responded for viewing.

thanks from peckham. so from the gillingham station i should just get a bus going greenwich uni (medway)? about how much would they charge and is the oyster card valid on it. forgive my questions undecided
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by FutureDon(m): 1:32pm On Sep 26, 2014
See free ads for Qatar Airways oo. I agree with HudsonBanks on Qatar Airways. My first flight with them in 2012 from Lagos to Manchester made me fall in love with their services.

I had close to 4:30hrs stopover and it was just like minutes. I met a Nigerian guy and girl at Hamad International airport and we chatted and 'boozed' away the long hours. After finishing the booze, we went on quick perfume spraying mission, lol.

They young man who sold the booze kept it for us inside a big brown envelop and advised us to drink directly from the envelop cos we asked if we could consume it right in the waiting area smiley

I can't say the same for other airlines I had used.

Yeah, though you can walk to school from there. About 30-35mins walk.

You'll be taking the 116 bus that roams around medway. Use the links below for the costs:

This link is for inner medway as that is where you'll be travelling around
https://tickets.arrivabus.co.uk/south-east/medway-inner/

This one has the details for student discounts but it's for medway in general. So you'll have to compare them
https://tickets.arrivabus.co.uk/south-east/medway/?_ga=1.46459360.632775938.1411558417#305


To search on google for travel directions from peckham to gillingham station or even to school.
Search with postcodes or with train stations

Example:
For postcodes from your location to school
"SE5 2HY to ME4 4TB"

Or from your location to gillingham train station
"SE5 2HY to gillingham train station"


Google will also tell you when the next train will leave
