Seun: Well, their rip-off of the iPhone 6 is less ugly. They fixed the antenna lines; something Apple failed to do. Isn't that a form of innovation?  Well..design is one thing, performance is another |

lastmanstandn: Yes. 22 for tution and operating costs. And 15 for living expense. Pls advice I would say try to get some funding before leaving Nigeria(Scholarship/GA/RA) even if it doesn't cover everything, or at least be sure you can get something either during the first semester or start of the second...You can try and come here, but it's going to be bit challenging. If you're coming for a graduate program, talk to a few professors in your choice department |

lastmanstandn: Thank you very much. Though I thought of this going for cheaper schools but my choice of course isn't found everywhere. It took a while find 3 schools. These 3 are equally in range of 30-45k. I have my aemission in one already.
I have emailed them to ask about a plan. Any other idea. ? Please Is it for a year or semester? Does that include living expenses? Did you try applying for funding? |

laboldkid: Good evening everyone in the house, I've been following this thread for a long time as a guest. I requested for toelf and SAT materials last year Feb.God bless you Bigfrancis for the links.. Though the exam was just horrendous cuz I didn't prepare at all. I scored 980 in total then. So I registered again this year and wrote the exam October 10 last month, I checked the result today and here r my scores... Critical reading 690, math 740 and writing 600 Total 2030... God bless y'all. I'm Grateful. Good scores are good  But remember it takes a good application package; make sure other application docs/materials are perfect..and you can apply to very good schools |

Feexo: Peeps, I would like to know which is better between Discover and CapitalOne credit cards for a student. I must say I know next to nothing about this and I am only just beginning to research both. All suggestions will be appreciated- including the ones better than above-mentioned... Also, here is wishing all those at various stages of their visa application process divine intervention and mercies. Go for Discover...if you have an on-campus job that gives you some stipend |

kwenu: out of state student should mean , international students? Non-residents of the state;international students inclusive f -1 visa means what? and for who? f-1 visa is basically visa issued for full time students how about part timers? what do you mean by part time? ..you have to be enrolled full-time to maintain your F-1 status do u think part timers stand a beter chance in getting visas from the embassy, seeing that gives u the time to work in the states, how would the VO / embassy see this : they d think u choose part time because u wanna work there during the day and attend classes during the night or evenings
why will u choose to go for part time seeing that u already presented a statement of account that shows that u have money to take good care of your self while over there.?
what do the embassy here think of students heading to the USA to study on part time?
in getting of visa , do part timers stand a better chance than full timers?
as for the list u ask of, please give me some time , i ll upload it here later |

Joenice: I totally understand but K. A. Stroud Palmgrave has a lot of topics and it lays more emphasis on how to use one's own imagination to deal with any mathematical question. So it's definitely going to act as catalyst towards my preparation. And their examples and excercises are exquisite and impeccable. Thanks so much for your advice. It's already been noted!

decreamaster: Guys pls answer me ooo Can a student with SSN work off campus?am scared they will know or they won't know until someone report the student.and also,how long will it take to get this SSN of a tin. Pls I need good replies.thanks I'm assuming you're on F-1..so, if you've not applied for work authorization under CPT or OPT, you are not legally allowed to work outside campus. If you work with your SSN off-campus without work authorization, you're violating your status! If you get a job and apply for SSN through your international office, all you need initially is the SSN application receipt which takes about 2 weeks I think...depending on processing times |

MsNas: SSN When you have an SSN you can do a lot of things 1. Apply for credit cards 2. You can file for your tax returns 3. Some benefits require an SSN before you can get them .
State ID Well for me, I use it as a form of ID a lot. I use it in lieu of a Drivers license and it is accepted everywhere. Whenever I fly, I tender my State ID and not my passport cos I can't afford to lose my passport because of constant carrying about. You can use your state ID almost everywhere that requires a form of government issued ID. Plus you can't work legally without your SSN or at least a receipt stating you've applied... |

Yeah long time bro! I had a friend who just went straight to the international office in school then, told them he was leaving,filled some forms, stopped his MS program and joined the military...so yeah you can join;provided your visa is still valid and min 2 years, but will have to leave your academic program. |
