Does it include feeding? Then take it! You wont have any added cost as regards to feeding, transport, internet etc. Unless you have people to share an apartment with, that will bring down the cost. Kayme: |

You know the situation and your interests better than anyone: how much your parents have, how this Masters will help you achieve your goals, if the job is really what you want or for sake of being employed, if you dont mind taking extra year/years to get the experience at the industry, how much you will save from the new job, etc. Weigh all your options and decide. I know people who were faced with this scenario. No 2 cases are similar. Training abroad.. the job itself nko, na the main thing na. If you decide to stay, plan on when to get a postgraduate degree, the exposure is great! Think timing, money matters and long term. k199192: |

My POE experience was smooth. I flew Qatar Airways to Doha (10hours) and to Dulles, Washington (14hours), meal was good. I don't think I want to fly that long again, I kept looking at my wristwatch wishing the time would fly fast. Forced myself to sleep several times and also watched movies. At Washington airport, the queue was not too long. It got to my turn after 20 mins. The man asked me for my i-20, what I was here for, if I have foodstuffs and I listed about 4 and told him I filled everything on the form given to me in the plane. He stamped me in, just spent 1-2minute with him. I took the bus to an airbnb. I have been trying to settle in. If you have someone in town, it would make life A LOT easier for you. Housing here is something else, average is $900 -$1200, one room! I had to increase my budget by force, and still searching. If you can arrive a week or 2 weeks earlier, better for you. I am combining settling in + house hunt with classes and assignments, the stress eh.. Please buy converter charger or US charger and some items. The things I forgot to buy, am getting it here x4. Tiny umbrella for $8 - $15. I shock. Wetin I dey buy for lagos island for N400. Sha buy the things you will need ooo. Time didnt permit me to buy jeans in Lagos, the cheapest ones I have seen here are $20. Please please buy important things so you dont start spending on basic things immediately. I am sorry for the late update 20 Likes 4 Shares |

The focus has been on your school. Check byu in gradcafe dot com and see what your department peeps are saying about it. Then you should know why you didnt pick the other schools. Emmyirab: 1 Like |

I have some foodstuffs to carry but I can't find a list of contraband items to guide me. What do you suggest? I cant even finalise as someone told me her aunty's visa was cancelled at POE because she came in with palm oil. How do I know that what I am packing is allowed seyewest: |

I get PMs, I reply, then no word from the person. Is this a regular stuff on NL? If you don't have anything to discuss, why send PM. If the reply is late and you have gotten the answer already, then just reply that you are ok now. Na only me waka come?

Then sponsor yourself to school and beware of free help especially when it's online. You can equally gain admission into a Nig school or take the foreign online education route and still face your business. sinzui: |

Its best you read past transcripts to give you a better understanding of how the process works. I sent you the link. You should read many pages back, if possible start from May 2017 till date. "what have you been doing since nysc" you just said "working for your mum", (poor response) AS WHAT NA? and "why the course" threw you off balance. Please just calm down, read deeper and refire.

You said you searched for schools that 'offer practical learning with great mentorship programs...'. I dont know what this means, didnt you just search for the program itself and select schools? Is Innoson a multinational? Also think about why you picked the course, in case you are asked. You have covered most questions. The part where you said the school offered you a discipline in 2 courses of interest to you...do you mean concentration or specialization? I want to believe you read past transcripts. Be clear in your responses. You can practice in front of the mirror and make sure you are not stammering. Because cram work dey get as e be, know the key words and expand on them. Be confident that day and mainatin eye-contact. All the best... Emmyirab: |

If after I graduated, I have been worked in an engineering firm owned by my uncle, do I need to answer that I have been working in my uncle's company or that I worked in an engineering firm or both? |

@bolded, is that your plan for going for that program?? I think you could have done better with the first and last questions. Very important questions! Which school is that? Seriousbuyer: |
