justwise: If you are coming to the UK without maintenance money then you have bitter story to tell people back home. Its not basic travel allowance, saying that shows that you haven't done any research about studying in the UK and the cost.

That money is your rent, bills, feeding, transport etc...

@justwise Lmao u are wicked, but truth be said, u cant come to this country hoping u will get a job quickly to pay ur bills, it doesnt work like that, jobs are scarce and not to talk of ur course work and assignment which was the primary reason for coming here, just hold at least 50% of your maintenance money before entering that plane for the love of God!

@DisGuy true talk, na by force to make friends, have u even approached them and try to talk them dont just assume, may be that is what they also think of u, in UK everyone wants to form chairman but that doesnt mean they are not ready to mingle with their fellow naija ppl, even if they ignore u at the end, if na friendship u dey find, asians, europeans, arabs evn africans they full UK but i dont think all the happen in my own side.

My God can't still believe some ppl still play PES 'spits', am a Konami lover from the days of winning eleven 4 yeah they were ruling those days I dare not go near FIFA that time but from 2010 FIFA turned it around, my lil bro forced me to play FIFA 11 that PES is trash now, I was like never, I played it sha he gave me 5 - 0someone I always trash on PES, but I could see the difference between FIFA and PES, sat down with it for Lyk one week and said nothing will never make me go bck to PES, useless game a right bck can run through ur defense from his post and score u smh. FIFA is for matured ppl,Just give it a try.

[quote author=ochukoccna]No, max I've withdrawn from GTB the only time I've used it is 550pounds using an HBSC ATM [recall daily withdrawal limit of 150,000 naira]
Just change and type in the max allowance to that
Don't know about Visa though [which is indicated more on ATM machines over here]
Will let you know when I try it
Smh didnt know thought i read somewhere in this thread dat Lloyds atm allows one to withdraw the most which is 400 quid, kai GTB don deal with me again, thanks for the info.

GTB has been sending me different kind of charges, i see available balance and current balance where by available balance will be lyk 25k difference from current balance, stuffs keep going up and down been trying to remove every money in my mastercard at once and this banks here aint helping, just a maximum of 400 quid u can withdraw so GTB keep dealing with me.

fiscalcliff: Chei,una won turn me to terror....see my 'winter jacket wey U go wear go Primark' line dey make headlines
Don Oms, na wa O!
Getting used to the weather small small
Today was warm even at 9-12°C

Winter jackets go soon finish for Primark o, Lol warm, u are lucky over there, Manchy is always very cold.

HotKween: Hello house, I was granted conditional admission by both Robert Gordon University and University Of Salford Manchester. The tuition fee for RGU is £10,000 and I am meant to pay deposit of £4,000 before an unconditional offer is given.
However, I was offered £4,000 scholarship by University of Salford which was deducted from the supposed £11,770 tuition fee. This is a very good offer financial wise but I seem to have doubt about the status of University of Salford as I couldn't find their name on the list of registered sponsors for tier 4 visa.
Please I need informed advice on how to proceed as I wish to proceed with either of the two admissions currently offered me.
Is University of Salford Manchester an approved tier 4 sponsor?
I have searched this forum and noticed that last year someone actually got a visa to study there but nothing has been said about them this year.
I will appreciate an informed response from those who can offer reasonable advice.

University of salford is an approved tier 4 sponsor and its a very good uni in a good city Manchester and for the few weeks have been here it has been good only the cold has been the problem , there are loads of naija here so u will be settled quickly and Lecturers here are ready to help u, its ur choice tho.

JideVince: GOODNEWS!!!!Just got my package. I am happy I discovered this goldmine before it was too late! Thank you Justwise, Don oms, princessmoi and every other forumite that made this possible. God bless you all! waiting for you Jen1

Afunkybaby: pls justwise and everybody, pls how much does it cost for a student to study in the uk, for masters from toefl exam, visa, school fees, housing, feeding, transport, everything in naira, for two years . Thanks

Minimum of 7.5 million naira, and also it depends on the school and accommodation u choose.

Don Oms: Thanks awistle! I leave for the UK today. By the way, how did you pay your fees? Or shall I say what's the best option to pay fees? I intend to use my Naira Mastercard online but I learned the maximum is an equivalent of 1M naira (£4000) and fees is above that (Maybe I'll pay in 3 days...lol)
