my France people... it has been 2years now, i feel i should share my experience, well 2years ago i was here, got admitted to france to study theoretical physics Msc. at Universite de Cergy Pontoise 20km away from central paris, i dont know if i made a mistake going to france or i should have stayed in Nigeria, when i traveled to france september 17th 2017, without little or no help. I traveled with just 750 euros, this was money i had saved up from working, because i had no one to help me. When i got to france, i went straight to my university where i paid the inscription fee of 246 euros and also registered for french class for 210 euros, the money left with me was about 480euros, i had no place to stay because i was too late to get the CROUS, i started asking myself some question on how to survive in this harsh environment i cant speak the language, so i had to stay with a course mate for somedays, i was attending lectures and thinking of what next at the same time, my brain was unstable. I finally met a Nigerian who said i can share his place but i have to pay half the rent, i told him i have just 480 with me, i will pay you 400 for 2 month and if i get a job before then i will move, by december when it was very cold, i didnt getr a job and i couldnt pay the house rent, the Nigeria guy drove me out and i almost felt like giving up plus i was till going to school in all those harsh condition, then a close friend of mine yannick who happens to be french told me he was going to talk to his mom for me since i have helped him in programming exam and he scored 16/20. So his mum accepted me and i stayed with them throughout december then i got a night job in January, so i pleaded with my friend parent that they should give me just january to move out, Note i was working all night and still go to school, Feburary 2018 i left to my own rented appartment, now life was getting better but at the stake of my education, i was able to pull through the first year having a overall grade for M1 at 11.8/20 i felt bad knowing my result in Nigeria was a way better graduating with 4.43 CGPA. Because of my love for school i decided not to give up and registered for M2, most of my professor didnt like me though because they knew i was working overnight and i was still passing their exams despite not been stable, in france the hardest master is theoretical physics trust me. M2 started and i knew this was last chance of improving my grade so i could get a phD since that was my goal before i traveled abroad, M2 was still indifferent from M1 hate from professor plus i still had to work all night to pay my bills, my house rent was 300euros per month and i still support my family in Nigeria with any amount i have. after the first session of M2 i had 11.3/20, i was not too happy because my best friend in class got 14/20, although he got a phd now in lyon, so i went insearch of internship known as stage for my masters thesis, i got a good place at ESPCI CNRS paris, so i was going to my stage and still working at night. I finished my stage this month september 2019 and also defended my Master thesis on 6th of this month. at the end of the day i graduated with an aggregated of 12.5/20. I couldnt get a Phd cause most Phd proposal are taken since i finish late, presently now, i am seraching for a phd and also thinking of coming back home since i am just 26yrs old, i have option of changing my status and be working during the night but this is not a job one can di forever, i am grateful to everyone here and if you stay in paris and you need my help, i am always opening..... bonne journee

Working towards getting a working permit, I am avoiding the APS student card (non renewable 1 years carte de Sejour) ��, i like france though but if you dont speak the language you are equal as dead.

oh good, Hope it is a good news

Did they give you the tracking number? If yes, I think you can go to the UPS site to track it. or you can call UPS customer center and talk to them
Tel.: +234-1-2713606.

By the way why didn't you opt for self pick-up, or you're outside Lagos?

koolkamzzy:
I don't really understand what you mean by tracking on UPS. Even if you paid for courier, the passport will first get to the VFS centre before they are dispatched by courier. So it's the same tracking process that applies.

mrphysics:

There's a place for you to upload how your studies would be funded. You don't need to upload your insurance.

koolkamzzy:


Did you try tracking online? Applied 19th July and got pick-up mail last Friday.

BTW I dey find travel buddy o or any Nlander for Paris wey fit show me around

Predstan:


Hopefully. I explained to CROUs but they insisted that I have send it via Nipost.
Can I send you a Pm?

Predstan:


CROUS do not accept documents via private shipping companies(Dhl or Fedex). So you have to post it and yes via Nipost.

The 4k is your deficit after scholarship. That’s fine. Have you completed Campus France process. I have paid for their service but they haven’t acknowledged it

Predstan:


My school is Borgongne. I have sent my documents 3weeks ago. But I don’t know if they had received it or not. I sent via post office and I also emailed to The scanning centre.

You said you got a partial scholarship? How much is your deficit after the scholarship

Predstan:


Ok. I think preferential treatment are given to scholarship holders. I have applied for CROUs for over 1month now and no decision have been granted though they promised to send notification today or tomorrow... Did you pay the deposit with your Naira Card. I will have to pay deposit as well within 24hours of housing allocation

Predstan:


Hi. You got CROUs decision today?

Geey90:

Hi, I just gained admission as well and new here. Please I need help as regards accomodation as this is mandatory for Visa processing. Please I need your help and advice. Thank you

Ikpa001:


Hello Ada,

I have started the Campus France procedure. I have met every requirement apart from accommodation. Please put me through on how you were able to secure yours. My region of interest is Ile-de-france (South Paris suburb).

There's no guarantee for the CROUS; and for private residences, I have to present student card and resident card—documents I don't have at the moment.

I have DMd you, I look forward to your prompt response.

Thank you.

Bashh054:

Thanks for the response. The reason why i asked was because someone said you can make use of a letter from your secondary school or university stating your previous study was in English language.

mayowa94:
what's the best way to contact supervisors if they don't reply their mail

scholarshiphope:
CSC application already ended. Sometimes just paying a trusted agent would do you more good than harm. They can easily apply and submit your documents. Sometimes you have to spend money to get somethings done right. Try using DHL, might be more expensive but the documents might arrive in time. Goodluck

WhyNa:
My application status shows In process on the school's site and Submitted on CSC site. Is there hope?

I applied to only one school cos of the mode of instruction

LadyHeaven:
Pls guys any idea how much a non criminal report costs?

maxi505:
Thank you very much for your advice. But why will you say all this when they are yet to announce the results? Do you know my profile at all before telling me to try again next year? What If my name is on the successful list? And If you don't get it, does that mean others cannot get it?
At least I knew how competitive the scholarship was before I applied. So, lets wait for the final results before further step or advice.

I will be successful In Shaa Allaah

This was what I saw on their Twitter
