hello house, nice work y'all. thanks for watching each others back and being our brothers keeper. I'm going to Coventry university in January 2016 for MSC. I need some advice with visa application, accommodation-on and off campus- which is better, life in school generally. thanks

Information on visa application is here https://www.nairaland.com/2575449/uk-student-visa-tier-4

Off compus accommodation is more affordable.

About the only thing in Bangor (North Wales) is the University. grin
You may find it simpler to book a Hotel for one or two nights.
Then you can ask around the University and students union for accommodation. There is plenty available but a lot do not advertise on line.

Yes you need UK bank account for that.

Why not go to their shop in the city where you live?

In any town centre you see shops like Topshop, Next, Bank, primark, and many other shops selling winter jackets at affordable prices

Even Asda, Tesco and sainsburys sell winter jackets of different sizes

Before you sort your banking details in the UK, head to a cash point, withdraw money and give a friend that already has a UK account and they can order for you, with their debit or credit card.

I gave you some advice but you come back with a bad tempered reply.
I know Bangor very well, but you can now find out on your own.
This is what you get for being impolite. angry

Try and enter your current address as the billing address and see if it goes through.

That will not work as long as the card was not issued by any UK bank.

Two ways to go about this, either open an account here in the Uk for your internet transactions or inform your bank in Nigeria that you would love to use your card outside the country to purchase goods or services online. I would prefer you open a UK bank account as it is the easier of the two options and cost effective. Asking your bank in Nigeria to activate your card for internet purchases will likely take time to resolve.

Okay. I just bought stuff from matalan's online shop so that it could be delivered before we went on holiday. I used my Visa credit card and it accepted my details.
