Hello fellow nairalanders, I am going to Copenhagen in January for my MSc, and I would like to know how much the cost of living is over there. Tuition fees apart, how much is rent ~ per month and how much is transportation too, plus I have a small child as well. Please what is the childcare cost over there like? And also thinking if it will be sensible to leave my baby with the grandma until i finish (i really do not wanna leave my baby behind but I don't wanna uproot him from what he is used to). Any useful advice is welcome. Thanks guys!

Take your baby with you or do your Masters in Nigeria.

Argggh, so i just did a pregnancy test, and there were two lines on the stick this was semi planned by my fiance and I by the way. He was moving back to Nigeria, and i didn't want him to leave me in jand just like that, eventhough he has always promised no matter where he is its me n him. So now that im pregnant I kno my parents will be upset and want me to get married as soon as before i start to show, this doesnt leave a lot of time, although we have been saving up for getting married, me personally would like to have the baby before we get married, so NL what will you advice, do it my way (I.e get married after the baby) or do it my parents way (i.e get married in the next 2 -3 months) Please urgent advice needed from mature people. Thanks!!!!!

What happened to this plan if you dont mind me asking. Did the guy run? . You can use google for all your requests. Good luck to you.

2mch thanks for asking, we got married . And the baby will be here soon, as tiring as it is,

So how come you are planning to travel for a program when your marriage is so young. Also with a small baby. for a first time mother i advise you stay where you can get a lot of help. Except if the whole family is relocating then its all good. I think its a bit too soon. But your life, your decision. Good luck, and good to hear it all worked out, as risky as it was.

Awwwww wishing you a safe delivery 

I hate to tell you this, but its going to be very difficult to make that trip in jan wthout your baby

When you look into that 8 week old baby's face, It wll break your heart to leave him/her behind. You may want to defer your admission until 2013 and I dont mean any of what I am saying in a bad way

@ CC thanks, no one tells you pregnancy is this hard though, I wish someone had told me this the only reason I don't wanna defer my admission is looking at the way things are going in europe, the tuition fees might go up dramatically. I am researching all possible ways to take the baby with me, cos thinking about leaving him or her alone is soo daunting i cry @ the thought, but then again, this is a good opportunity that i really do not want to miss.

When I applied to the MSc, i ddnt know a baby will be on his/her way, but I'm thinking since copenhagen is not too far away from home, maybe we can still make it work, as the MSc is only a year programme n time flies,

@OP, I wish you safe delivery.
