It's not an issue. But it's better to get a return ticket as it saves cost.

It means your mail has been received by the UKVI and an ECO has been assigned. So if you paid for priority probabaly give it 5-15 days at this peak period or if its standard processing then wait for 10-30 days at this peak period. Goodluck dear.

Hello:
As a Typical Nigeria, let me attempt to answer your question with Questions:
1. Where exactly is the location of the school? London is "divided" into Travel Zones (Zones 1 - 9). The closer you are to zone 1, the more expensive.
2. What kind of house would you like?

With a child, you definitely cannot live in a flat share, therefore, www.spareroom.com will not likely solve your problem. To have a general idea, you may wish to "ASK GOOGLE".

www.rightmove.com may help.
www.gumtree.com may help.

but...GOOGLE is your friend.

A 1-Bed in Zone 2 is around £1350 upwards, depending on location and also how close the house is, to a tube (train) station.

Thank you for your response. I hope I not going out of the thread's discussion in continuing this post. But the people here seem quite knowledgeable of life in the UK.

I got an offer for a 1 bed flat in zone 4 for about 930 pcm with bills excluding electricity.

Felt it was pricey? Am I in line or there are better deals to work with?

Hello.

I plan doing my MSc program next year at University of Bradford, England.

I went through their website for requirements for International students, I saw something like WAEC.

I want to know if I can use NABTEB result in place of WAEC or to act fast (in case I can't).

Thanks.

The school should be in a better position to answer this question

Another factor to consider is how close is the house to;
1. Tube station
2. High street.

Are there buse routes nearby? How far is the house to a nightbus route? Or a 24hour bus route.
ALL these things are usually taken into consideration.

£930pcm for a 1 bed in zone 4 MAY be a bit pricey, but I would also think it's a fair price. Is that zone 4 location served by the Underground? The DLR? Or the Overground?

I have mailed them equally, waiting for their response.

Thanks.

I would give you my opinion cos have lived around most zones. The price you stated for zone 4 is a bit high especially if it's excluding bills. (Take that into consideration as it's important). You should get a good two bed flat for about 950 - 1400. And a bed flat for around 600 - 800. Please do good research.

@justwise @mimilyrics @wonderful house
I'm really getting scared about my acct, fearing I might make a mistake. Those who have successfully passed my stage should pls render assistance oooo biko.
I'm going to attach sample statement of my acct. View it and let me know ur view becos I got a very strange advice.
NB: I initially thought the 28 days counting should start on the 12th of aug(though I deposited the fund on the 11th). Since that's when the opening balance of the 8m I deposited on the 11th of aug would reflect at the top of the statement but someone said no I have to start the 28 days the first day the actual fund for the tuition and maintenance fee reflect in the statement.
If this be the case, I transferred the fund on the 11th and reflected that very day but the issue is that the opening balance for that day is zero--.
Pls what's the right direction? When am I to print out this statement?
Thanks and God bless you

Bills are included except electricity.
The place also provides a seperate reading room for students, access to library, 5 minutes walk from underground, and a communal area downstairs

It's 5 mins to underground, and a major high street.
Three different bus stops are 5 minutes away.
Served by an underground alone.

The flat has a communal area downstairs, a seperate general reading room for students, a seperate library.
All bills are included except for electricity, and it comes fully furnished with kitchen utensils as well.

Please I want to pay fees which bank is faster and cheaper. Help with procedure

I thought most airlines won't allow you to book return flights later than 9 months from the departure dates. Pls enlighten if i'm wrong.
