Just mail the school to resend it and make sure you give them the right address..

It's normally takes 3 to 5 business days for such mail if the address is correct. Make sure you check the address well before mailing the school again.

Bro, this is critical info. Please take out time to seriously verify abeg.
If after been cleared at the airport, the BDC over there can change naira cash to dollars at a fair rate, pls let them be specific, at what rate do they mean is fair? 220? 230? 240? And not 280 and above.

Please help verify. I'm having a headache looking for dollars at a reasonable rate for my trip.

Sent you a PM.
The rates seems to be closely related with the banks.

I don't know if they change such currency as naira here like that but you can always load your cards with money before coming.
BDC here in Intl airport I mean. Don't know how one can rely on them tho. Cos I dunno how certain it is that one will get their service on the day of travelling... Thanks.

Please guys doing research in the US especially in the life and physical sciences, how did you transition from naija to Yankee mode of research?

I understand there is a very steep learning curve. I need to hit the ground running mehn!

Bbdd, imperiouxx did you choose your research topic and advisor before getting to campus?

Before coming I only have 2nd hand idea about research. When I got here and I met him, he told me about his research work and publications. Then he divided the research into 5 areas (definitely areas he needs student researchers), so I chose mutagenesis. From here I started reading about the area, he also provided lots of related work and finally we suggested topic and the research began. Supervisor will want you to choose areas within his research. Any papers published go to both of you.

Azin ehn! Someone must really pick their words carefully cos someonelse is always there waiting to misunderstand or misquote you. That's why sometimes I don't bother.

Wait o. I hope I haven't misunderstood / misquoted you too oh grin

Lol. That's good. cheesy You noticed I preempted I would be misunderstood. I had to carefully explain because written text does not convey your mood, tone and how you want your message to be perceived by the audience.

I've read through most statements that usually result in an argument here. Most of the time, we misunderstand the writer. Also, the writer may not intend the message to come out harsh, or off the way they intended.

Let me jump on this...

1) Your domiciliary debit cards issued in Nigeria wont work over there

2) Your Naira debit cards will be charged at black market rate if you use it over there, but it will work. The exchange now depends on the bank you use; Stanbic is lower, GTB is a no go area.

Sorry. As regards your first point, Banks advise that customers abroad should transact at the currency of the nation in which they reside.

Now, this means for certain, my dollar denominated card linked to my USD domiciliary account would certainly work especially in the U.S. I just have to fund my domiciliary account here with dollar cash. Shikena.

Congratulations.

You said you've not been hearing of UNL. Well, I actually got admission last year for a course in Durham school of Architecture but I had it deferred to Fall this year. I was hoping for funding then but I got a fellowship which left me with about $34k to pay.

Did you get funding?
