There is GA scholarship for NP's and few other healthcare fields but those schools are very few. The scholarship is not really much like that for other fields outside healthcare.

Thank you for the info sir

Lmao. Such a funny experience. One of the first things that hits you when you arrive in America is the accent. Suddenly, the English spoken all around you is soo different from what you've heard all your life. You struggle to hear the American accent, especially the core black american accent. In class, you squeeze your ears to make sure you get all your lecturer says, and initially you'd probably get about 80% to 85% of what was said. Also initially, you will be asked to repeat yourself a lot when you speak. Chai. I remember when flying from Lagos to Dubai on Emirates (Emirates was the cheapest and best flight option back then in late 2013 and early 2014 when I bought dollars for N154, and I was still complaining it was high. You can imagine. My one-way flight from Lagos to Maryland on Emirates was N180,000, but nowadays people are paying twice or thrice that amount), I told the flight attendant who was passing by repeatedly that I wanted malt but she still did not understand me. I just settled for juice and water then. When almost everybody says 'sorry come again' when you speak, you suddenly begin to wonder if you really know English or if it is not the same English you are speaking that they speak too. I got told this a lot when I was new and I really hated having to repeat myself severally. I had to blend in very fast. Fast forward to 2.5 years after, I don't remember when last I was told to repeat myself. Now I easily switch accents between US and Naija depending on where I am at. At work or outside, I rap in the american accent and get what I want easily and while at home or on the phone with friends, family or relatives I switch to my naija accent, which they still say sounds 'American' to them. I guess my 'naija accent' has been mixed with the American one. Guys, it is effing awesome knowing how to switch between accents, and I've pranked my friends in Naija before by phone calls using my american accent and they could never tell a tad it was me. I understand both the general (or 'white' accent) and the black american accent perfectly now, though there is a very concentrated black English or 'ebonics', laced with real ghetto/hood slang and talk, which they speak mostly within themselves that I still struggle to understand. For the blacks, I would say that is their pidgin English and the general black american accent is their main English (more easily understood). It's good to look back sometimes and remember some issues you had to deal with in the past which you no longer have to anymore.

In all, welcome to America. You're in for a life changing experience. America has a way of changing or modifying somebody. Don't get lost in the blending in though.

. sounds interesting

@ ponpon thanks

The rules are d same for everyone regardless of if u go to minor state or anyother school. ...you can only work on campus for a max of 20 hours during term time and 40 during holiday. So NO NO NO outside campus is not allowed


In some cases F-1 student may request employment authorization based on severe economic hardship which can then allow u work anywhere (off campus) but that only given after one year of f1 study

But the afternoon is hotter than maiduguri

Hi Good people, I need assistance. I am currently processing admission to a school in US, on which I will need a $50 for submission of the application. I have the Naira equivalent at any rate. All I require is someone who can make this payment for or a method of transfer I can use to make the payment in Naira please. I have been to my bank Zenith, but they said the CBN policy restricts they.
Please help a brother!

Free the guy na

Guys, a quick one. I am trying to book a flight on etihad airways. The quoted fare is $615. On wakanow, it is $630. Yes, I should normally book on the website of etihad airways. However, $630 converted to naira by wakanow itself on their website is N198,744. This corresponds to an exchange rate of N323 to $1. Etihad does not display the naira equivalent before I make payment. So, I may be charged at a rate higher than N323 of wakanow's. Anyone's got an idea what the rate of etihad usually is?

I dont think ethihad will have an initial rate,it depends on the bank card you actually use for the payment
And each bank as their own exchange rate
I'm very sure bank rate will actually be higher than Wakanow own,you can check abokifix website for ATM rate
Really high

It's either you book with wakanow or you call etihad's customer care.
Don't pay with your atm card to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Lol. Pardon him. English is not his first language or mother tongue, so you can understand that.

There are three kinds of English in America, the real English, ghetto English and the other one which is kind of mixed.

People are different, some people need to shut out all the flexing in their life, sleep in libraries, read materials over and over to succeed. Some people know as e dey go, they grab things easily and look at yansh! they still pass. I'm fine bro, I know what works for me. Thanks for your advice tho.

Don't let that bring you down, the more you stay, the more you automatically adjust to the new environment.

I understand you feel a bit cold, it's normal because you just acclimatizing to change in weather from Nigeria to US. What you experienced was high speed windy day. The real cold is still coming when it will be -ve cold 24/7, day or night, no one will tell you then that the season is unique. Enjoy!

Most airports don't have free wifi from what I have observed.

They make money with it but you can always connect for free at your flight gate.

It's always like that at first. The blacks are different but a time is coming that you would catch up with them at least. Even with this, don't try the Louisiana folks. Their English is slang, unclear, vague and short forms.

Welcome to US!
