May I be the first to congratulate you.!!!! However, the information you have provided is very scant. You have given no indication as to what country you have receieved your visa for, in addition you haven't said in which town or city you will be studying so advice about accommodation can be given. Na so persin dey fail o.   (LOL) Provide this information and then I'm sure you will get loads of helpful replies. |

Like @Vor said you need to provide adequate information before you can get the advice you need.
But if you are coming to UK, i will advice you to hold your admission letter and let the school know you are coming that day.
about accommodation, i think its reasonable if you take the school hostel first because you might be a victim of inexperience like a friend of mine that
took a very expensive house just because he needs to get a place to put his luggage.
He ended up taking a very expensive place and they made him sign a 12 months agreement which is binding.
so be careful.

thanks muyiwa
it will help you to give the state or city you are going so people can narrow their advice.
if you are coming to london for instance there is no need just saying london. if your school is say for instance southbank university and someone give you an agent in barking you will spend all your day travelling.
don't forget your admission letter though and your pasport and ticket and the telephone contacts of the school admin people.
goodluck and well done

you will definitely do x - ray at the airport if you are coming to UK to study for more than 6 months.
apart from that one i am not aware of any other test.

Ah Aberdeen, the granite city. I was there in 2002 when our super eagles played Scotland and beat them 2-0 I think. I really don't know much about accommodation up there, though I am sure It will not be as expensive as London. The advice Muyiwabank gave about taking student accommodation till you find your feet sounds quite sensible though. As for immigration all you will need is of course your passport. It would also be prudent to carry your letter of admission, though it is unlikely you will be asked for this given you already have a valid visa. There is no need for you to have a ticket (return) at all. Make sure you don't arrive in the UK prior to the start date on your visa. For the health requirements I suggest you check the bia.gov.uk website. Good luck . PS: Dat ya name na wao!!!!My mind just de wonda  |
