Surviving as a Nigerian student in the UK was not as easy as I thought, but I managed to adjust with time. But surviving here is really not as hard as you think. Just be open-minded and network with people not just Nigerians. You'll survive.

Ola one:
30 pounds a week?! Are you kidding me? I don't think it's possible to survive on less than 100 pounds a week. Except you want to look drawn. You want to start buying those tasteless chicken, abi? What about fruits? How many do you eat/day? Abeg jare.

Come back here let's do the maths. undecided
very possible to live on 30 quid per week

Hello, what do you plan to study ?
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 5:33pm On Jun 16, 2013
BCU is a decent uni in my opinion, I have a friend who studies tv/media there and she enjoys it.

http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings

I dont really know about part time jobs in Birmingham.

Typical annual cost of university/college accommodation £3,900–£4,700
Typical annual cost of private accommodation £2,600–£3,100

I plan to do that once the tuition fee deposit I paid is acknowledged. Its a condition that needs to be fulfilled before a CAS letter can be issued.

Word up Leke21
What's the dub about life in Sunderland? Locals openness, social life, school life and all?
How do you survive on £30 a week seeing it sounds incredulous?
How much do you spend on accommodation? What facilities does it offer, heating, Internet, etc?
Are you in Univ of Sunderland? How is the school rated?
Also are student part time jobs easily available? Anything for IT inclined folks?
Do share and let us learn
Thanks
