Where do you wanna reside?
Most programs are North, but rooms are more expensive there. north or South Campus?

I decided to free the thread for a while because of two things. 1. It's about visa enquiries and I haven't been (technically) posting anything about u.s visa for a while. Better to not derail from the goal of the thread 2. I just shake my head for some ITKs on here and how some people go about their things. The most ignorant person in life is he who thinks he knows too much and the wisest is he who thinks he knows nothing. When someone brings a new information here, the way some people attack it senselessly and quote loads of nonsense just to prove a point (and in the end, ultimately show their ignorance) is pathetic. The general trend here is to show that you're a master, show that you've seen it all, done it all and you're so wise that you can't be fooled by anyone. Person dey ask for visa proof to show that another person actually got a visa, etc. Some will write nonsense like "that's not possible, I have not seen/heard it before hence you're lying.

"I have not seen or heard of x before, until you send me y as proof, then I'll never believe x is true and since I don't believe x, then x doesn't exist". Now let's assume x exists and you honestly don't know about it. I have experienced x enough to prove to you that it exists but I angrily refuse to prove x to you. You'll be there in your room thinking you're wise, you've "caught" me and since I gave you no proof, x doesn't exist while as a matter of fact, you're the ode who's never going to know about it. Read this carefully to understand my point. If you can't, then... good luck to you.

To all the experts here who "do a lot of research", quickly pull out quotes online and other loads of things to show their wisdom. May God help your ministries as you arrogantly shut out your minds to new knowledge. Always remember: the scope of your knowledge is not the scope of what can be known/what is true. I'll leave it at that so as not to get angry and write what I'm not supposed to write. Things dey happen for this land, forget grammar and terms and conditions, people dey run things. If you no open your eyes, after your graduate assistantship, opt, everything. Nobody go tell you when you meet yourself for Ikeja airport with nothing to show for it because you no know as e dey go.

If you've not been affected by this useless trend here, then I'll say congratulations to you. Take my advice, whenever someone posts something and you think it's the biggest lie ever... without trying to foolishly prove you're wiser than the person, just ask the person to teach you more about it and how he got it done. Send a PM to the person (some people don't feel comfortable saying things openly because of privacy and all) and you'll be amazed by what's going down in this world. Person talk about how he successfully "storied" a bank employee or whatever to get something done for him (I'm not saying he lied or didn't lie), but I saw the reactions to the post, and I shook my head. Do you know how many times I have talked my way for things that seemed impossible to be made possible? The house wey I dey stay sef, I know the package wey I give them for them to let me sign my lease without any security deposit, guarantor, etc (things that were MANDATORY for the particular apartment). If I talk that one, them go say e no dey possible.

OPT, H1 sponsorship, bla bla... STORY. Pray to God to link you with people wey sabi and make them show you as e dey go. you go convert your green pali to blue in less than the time wey some of your mates go use graduate, do OPT dey find work. Remember Kemi wey dey your class for 100Level wey no fit spell her name? Remember how she graduate with Strong 2.1, serve for Oil company while others dey serve for schools and local government for inside bush, how she dey work for big company now dey earn better salary and how she no deserve everything wey don come her way so far? You wey deserve am, abeg where you dey?

A word is enough for the wise. Everybody get their own pattern. Keep doing your things, keep saying what you know, I pray everyone has a successful interview and I wish you all success as you chase the American dream. Just remember to shine your eyes. Some people will try to sample you before showing you things, don't fail the test with your oversabi. If you go meet them for anything, them go shake you to see if you heavy for ground, be smart! I repeat... be smart! Stay away from negative people who see the impossibility in every situation, roll with sure people and be wise. You can imagine, some people dey here... OPT no even dey their plans for this place. OPT korr, BRT ni. Them no get plans for employer to file nonsense for them. The orientation wey dem don get strong pass wetin una dey read for books.

Don't PM me asking for nonsense o. I know nothing. I'm only saying we should be wise, that's all. God go bless all of us. Some people will want you to fail so they can say: "see? I told you. Serves you right". Stay away from such people. The world is for risk takers... calculated risks. Don't let the fear of failure stop you from trying things. Sometimes, it's better to try and fail than not to try at all and not know if you would have succeeded if you tried. It's like buying a lottery ticket, no matter how slim the chance of winning is... if you don't buy the ticket you CAN'T win the lottery. Whether you win or not is another thing, at least buying it gives you a chance. Even if you don't win, try!

Finally, ignore all you've read so far. Let us appease the gods , choose a STEM course (If you're coming here to study anything else, you're wasting your time/life), don't leave Nigeria without a graduate assistantship (that is the only way and any other thing is going to end in tears, nobody has done this in history with success), ignore all the enjoyment and fun in the U.S. (Kill yourself in the library because that's what you came here to do. You can get 4.0 cgpa that nobody has achieved before), don't ever have sex with any girl or else you will get into trouble for rape/assault, forget it if you're thinking you're going to get a beautiful and successful babe/friend that could change your life because it is impossible (That girl wey dey drive 2016 benz wey give Kunle phone number for party... na lie him dey lie. those things only happen on TV). Face your studies, your future depends on getting OPT, get a good job (Americans are so stupid they'd see your struggles and ignore their citizens with the same qualifications and give you the job because you serve a living God), you can't have any savings because America is a credit based State, You will pay so much as tax, you will be so high in debt that you won't have any happiness left in your life. In the end you will see that you're better off in Nigeria, where jobs are so available, businesses are booming, no tax, no racism or any tribalism/nepotism, where life is easy and free.

All hail the gods of the land! When they speak, nobody should question them. Peace out.

Christian129:
Hi guys, if one applies for admission in the spring semester and decides to defer till fall, will the candidate be considered for any departmental funding or GA/TA since the funding decision is still in march?

MsNas:

Quit educating! But I beg to differ on a few things (expenses wise). No pun intended oo.

First, I'll say you have quite the money to spend. Cos I'm pretty sure most of us international students never spend up to $10,000 in our first semester not to talk of $18,000. Lol
