PLEASE HOUSE WHICH OF THESE ENGLISH TEST IS EASY TO WRITE

I have heard people say PTE is easier. For sure I know IELTS is kinda tough, but I got 8.0 as overall bandscore. I have not heard of any discrimination to any of the English tests.

Good luck.

Hi if i self sponsor myself as 29 yo female.
Are there chances of student visa or is it risky? I dont think i can get a sponsor at the moment.

I was self sponsored and a female. I am in Ireland now for Masters though.

Cheers

Hope you are ready for the cold and the stress of finding accommodation...of u have somewhere to stay??

Coco2019:

I’m looking for a female roommate .. the room is located in Dublin 3.. rent is 800 euro for two people bills is around 12 euro every month but the room is available for 1 year...entry date is 10th or before 10th of January .. if you are in Dublin let me know so you can view the room.. the apartment is 3min walk to 14, 15, 27, 31, 32, 42 bus route .. and is 15min to city center. Currently 6 people live in the house .

I am interested. Is it close to Griffith?

GrasstoGrace:

Peeps say most employers don't really consider certificates from Griffith, and I hear how difficult it is getting a job with its certificate, pls this is just based on speculations, I'm here to learn

In ranking, it ranks higher than DBS and many other schools in Ireland. Yet, no one has posted to say employers discrimate those certificates. I am not in Ireland though.

lander237:


Please is your offer still valid? I have to be in Dublin (DUblin city university) for an exchange semester starting 24th Jan.
thanks

Going to Dublin in January, I am a female. I am booking hostel with Isaacs Hostel. Getting some discounts days off a week. Will look for room mate when I get there.

GrasstoGrace:
Hey peeps, I'm new here and this is my very first post on nairaland, I've been following this thread or a wyl now, I was denied Canadian study visa twice last year for no good reason as far as I'm concerned (CENTENNIAL COLLEGE),I'd have applied this November to Griffith College for My masters, Coz of time constraint as I'll also have to write the IELTS exams too, I posponed my application to September 2019.. I've not been seeing positive remarks about Griffith College, I chose Griffith Coz it's in Dublin, and also compared to others, it's cheaper (I think), I'm budgeting €15,000 for my tuition and €5,000 for my edubond deposit... I need prescription on better schools I can go for in Dublin.. I'm an orphan, my elder brother is sponsoring me, I graduated from Covenant Uni, Mech Eng, with a 2.8/5.0CGPA.. I intend settling in Dublin afterwards.. Pls I humbly ask for your advice on preferred schools from my peeps over there.. Sincerely appreciate

I have not seen any particular bad review on Griffith. So far, Griffith has the highest number of Nigerian students in Ireland. Griffith also is one of the very few schools in the world to have ACCA platinum accreditation.

Kveee:
Thanks God! And Thanks to you guys too. Got my Visa today. Applied 14th nov and got stamped 29th Nov

Congrats. Which school.

Kveee:


Congrats, what was the duration?

16 days

Segunagagu:

Just use the quote and reply button.. that's all...

OK. Tnx�

I applied via Abuja. Pls someone explain to me how to reply or post here. PLS.

Congrats on ur visa application. Where did u submit ur doc Abj or Lag[/quote]

I applied on 13th Nov.

Pls, does any female need a roommate in Dulin?


I feel this info might be beneficial to someone here.

My roommate is graduating this January and will be retiring back to his country. In lieu to the difficulty in securing accommodation here in Dublin, any prospective male student that is interested can replace him. The accommodation will be available from the 15th of January, 2018 but he is willing to move out if the person taking the accommodation is coming earlier than that date. The house rent is £430 monthly + £30 for utilities, making it £460 monthly. It's a 2-bed space, very neat and the house has every modern facility a house should have. It's a first come, first serve basis. I am placing this here cause I need a brother from my own country in same apartment with me..lol.

NOTE: Please DO NOT pay anyone upfront from Nigeria at the moment for accommodation. You ought to inspect the accommodation and if it's suitable to your taste before you pay. I am saying this so that no one here will fall prey to scam artists mascurading as students studying presently in Ireland and wanting to offer assistance. [/quote]

Thank God. Visa issued. January start. It's shall end in praise.

Ielts or PTE

I did IELTS my Overall band score 8.0. Though it wld expire soon.

I am happy to see all these testimonies. For anyone that has been refused before by any country, the devastation goes away with time especially when u are busy.

This thread helped me to quickly overcome the pain from the Canny people. I could not tell anyone about the refusal. I come here daily after work to read ur comments and it feels good to see happy words. Good luck to all hopefuls. Kudos to everyone.

The reasons were 1) financial 2) home tie 3) purpose of visit

Australia was financial shortfall.

Jenniliousatoe:
In my opinion I think you should put in for masters program.they accept 2.2. Depending on the course and school.


For the past refusals you can address that on you letter of application and include your refusal letters ..things will work in your favour.


But please go for a master course relevant to your 1st degree and current job.


All the best.

Thank you Jennilisiousatoe for ur opinion. Is GMAT compulsory? Are there schools that don't require GMAT?

Good evening all. I am new here. Its past mid night and I am crying as I come to you for consolation.

I had applied to Australia in 2010/2011 for student visa and it was denied. This year, I decided to try again. I applied to Canada, twice. I was admitted for a PGcert program. Today, I got the notification that my application has been rejected for the second time. I am saddened now.� . I am now considering Ireland.
