Hmmm. Are you saying it has a low career prospect? I am also applying for an MPA degree. For Arts and social students, our courses are usually broad and not streamlined like sciences courses.

Hello all. Please how important is travel history to obtaining a student visa. My passport has never been stamped. Someone is suggesting I go stamp at Benin and Togo borders. Hope this wouldn't look desperate to the VO. Kindly help.

Perotti:
Are you schooling in the US? That website 'indeed.com' isn't giving me search answers oo

Mayflowa:
Is this me or my school or something? This US profs don't know how to teach. They are just rushing and speeding off with calculations without proper explanation of concepts. UK and Naija profs are way better o.

The Uni is University of Missouri. Not an interesting experience

Hello house,
I've tried to read your posts on this thread, so far (after reading about 50 pages), I've only seen success stories and people gisting padi padi things. I hope someone reads this and gives me an answer without taking it P. I'll ask direct questions. I'm seriously considering traveling again... This time to Yankee. I'm actually doing this cos my mother's cousin is willing to sponsor me. She's very rich... offered to help my mum but my mum told her to help me instead (I hope u get the meaning... my mum thinks I'm a better and lifelong investment). I'd like to study Human Resource Management. I have a 2.1 Philosophy degree + ielts score of 8.0. I already secured admission in about 3 UK universities last year with these but no money to sort it, shey Yankee admission is possible for those switching disciplines?.
Now my questions:
1. The schools I've seen are asking for depressing amounts for Tuition. Omo, 8m naira to get a 1 year Master's degree! If I tell d woman make she gimme that money to do business for here, she no go gree Lai Lai. Are there any relatively cheap unis you can recommend?
2. At what point are the fees paid (tuition, etc.)? Before visa or after? I'm asking cos I don't want to lose money in the event of a denial like what happened to me last year plus the woman fit dey do one kind.
3. Can an account statement from the woman be good enough to show that I can support myself? I have just a Lil over 1m in my personal account. I don't share the same last name with this woman so I'm wondering if there's going to be issues. Before u start criticizing, she's my mum's cousin.
4. I'm not desperate about traveling. Abeg wetin dey d Yankee wey people Wan die on top? I was denied a residence permit to enter Finland last year, I didn't bother myself about traveling since then. The way people are so desperate about getting a visa, some even fast and pray... etc. Is there something abroad I need to know? Abeg make una ginger me.
5. Will the above denial count against me in getting a Yankee visa?
Finally, put yourself in my shoes. My first choice would have been to collect the money and set up a biz here in naija... but the woman no go gimme pass 500k, if I choose that option. Na opportunity she dey gimme. Make I no lose am and regret it in future. But 8m naira to get a degree abroad is just crazy. Una dey try o. Walahi!!! Una dey try!!!

Thanks in advance. Hope I didn't bore you with the long post?
Once again, it's an opportunity I don't want to regret missing so please feel free to advise me.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate u. Actually, she want to change status to f1. She already went in person to a community college where she was told that no need for her to return back to Naija that the school will change her status to f1 once she is offered an admission. She went to the school in person and was told not to bother returning back to Naija. Hope this is safe and legal
