i intend applying for master degree in a university in uk. i want to be prepared, have more information about life as an international student in uk.

Make sure u have enough funds 2 finance ur studies n living expenses! The former is more important, some people feel dat they can work n study. The moni u make might cover ur living expenses but not ur tuition. And be ready 4 visa wahala! Those ECO dey kolo sometimes! Lastly n very importantly APPLY FOR UR VISA ON TIME! at least 2 n a half months b4 departure. Good luck n all d best

2 and a half months is not long enough, sometimes one yawa will just gas and u won't be able to start until the following academic session and i agree with blue 2 mkew sure ur finances are sorted

three months to departure is the earliest you can file in an application for visa, but u have to start planning and seeking advice from friends and professional companies that help students travelling to the uk. its not as easy as mots people make it seem!
your papers have to be right and speak for themselves be it sponsor letter, addmission and most importantly YOURSELF

thanks so much for the information. i really have to speed up things cos there is little time left. hopefully i will start the visa process by may ending.

Apply to the US, its harder to get but worth while,

getting us student visa is so difficult. uk visa is much easier
