Mods well done..please I want to know if it's true that a statement of acc is valid for one month?

I printed my statement of account today 31th Dec and I won't be submitting till 7th of Jan. Can I still use the one I printed today? Thanks in advance.

@spikesC,bro i will be arriving chatham train station on monday,how do i proceed to the university from there?are the arriva buses just outside the station?or can i walk?

spikesC:


I have never gone through chatham station. I think it's farther from the school than Gillingham station.
Use Google to plan your journey and also check which station is closest so you know where to stop.
Arriva buses pass in front of Gillingham station.

Also, have you made arrangement for accommodation as it seems you haven't and you probably should be heading to your house rather than the school.
School reopens on the 5th you know

pato231:
@spikesC,means i have to search more for accommodation around Gillingham as opposed to the idea i had that Chatham was the university town.

ironbender101:



Bro did you book a one way ticket?

pato231:

hey bro,how was ur hk trip?yeah i booked one way

ironbender101:


It was cool bro, cold dey too much here now. I will be back on the 5th. What are the advantages of booking a one way ticket? I just did and I am regretting since a return ticket is cheaper and also I feel they may tackle me at the airport.

pato231:

Lol,i will make accomodation plans in the first week,i want to be on ground to do so,in the mean time will commute from london victoria to uni for a week then settle accomodation stuff.Thanks man

spikesC:


Yep, Gillingham residential area is closer to the school than chatham residential area.
When searching, remember to search within close radius to the campus postcode

pato231:

e no go easy o walking 35 mins,i have seen lots of accommodation my problem is sharing toilets,i rather live in London and arrive medway daily,i am also hoping i don't have lectures 5 days of the week,i know PG classes are not all days of the week,i will view the ones i have made appointment with the landlords/agents on Monday,then decide fully.Thanks bro.

SpikeC and other mods.

Is it possible for a postgraduate student to change a course after been issued visa and upon arrival in school?
For example, I should be in Salford by February for MSc Environmental and Public Health which the start date is February. Am planning to change to MSc Biotechnology by September because the only start date for it is September.
Is this possible and what are the consequences, merits and demerits?
Thanks as you answer

spikesC:


There're so many studio rooms in Gillingham.
You might be on 3 days a week. That's what most people are on, even undergraduates.

pato231:


that will be great,i will be glad if its just 3 days a week.
i know living close to the school has its own added advantage so i will look up more places.
remember to notify me when u are back bro.
remain blessed

spikesC:


Yes it's possible. The school gets to decide, no need involving the home office

jelmusboy:


Very happy to hear this SpikeC. Could you please recommend where one can stay as per hostel close to the University of salford if one is not able to get accommodation in the school hostel or the student village? £70 - £80 per week

ironbender101:


Im going to Salford too,

jelmusboy:


Have you secured an accommodation or do u intend to get one?

ironbender101:



I havent bro but my girlfriend is there and she will accommodate me for some days but I really need to get an accommodation.

Don't you think living in the City centre would cost more? because now you have to factor in transportation...What is the average cost of a room in the city centre, let me bring my inherent Ijebu skills to fore?

lol, I have not gotten visa yet. But I am looking towards the 29th or 30th of January depending on how early my visa application is approved.

Thanks.

guiddoti:
Are you coming to scotland ni? If yes, plan shared flat at the rate of 250-350 PM. If you like stay off city center, budget 200-250 plus 38 for bus pass.

olukenzo:


Yes o. RGU, Aberdeen.

Wow. The figures you have quoted project a price difference of around 200 to 250 to what I have been getting online. Are you aware of any of such openings?

guiddoti:
Well, the figures are based on Glasgow city. You may, even, get lower than the figures given you. It depends on your taste. Please, is online full flat or shared flat? Nevertheless, Aberdeen and Glasgow share similarities.
