Why is everyone running away from London schools? Not seen one person going to London. Anyone?

Loooooool! I guess peeps are avoiding London cos of the high cost of living.

Be calm. I'm sure all will be well.

Hi Cranberry17 please when did you have your interview?

I had my interview on August 3

chuksbenin:
Bro when was your interview? How long before you got the mail. When did Sheffield notify you that they received your application. Thanks man

Lol! I'm actually a Lady o!
I did my interview August 3, Sheffield notified me that they got my application Aug 5 and I got my decision mail Aug 22

soulhighman:
Thanks. I got my decision email later today though.
But I am a bit afraid as there is a line in my email that says "If anyone contacts you advising that your application is still under consideration or that they can influence the outcome of your application in any way, they cannot - please report any such approach to VisaSheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk."
Pls is it like that for everyone?

Cranberrt17, Please can you give us your transcript. Tell us how it all went, the things you were asked and your own tip to the house. i believe it will surely help a few others who will be going for the interview soon. Thanks

Ok. First of all, the interview was a video chat with a British guy; behind closed doors of a small box office. Although I made use of headphones, I could hear the Interviewer audibly and clearly. First things he asked me were my full name, Date of birth and Nationality. He was also quite friendly too, so I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be. I remember him asking with a smile how I was doing and how my day was going?
He then asked me the following
1. The course I'll be studying and if it was an undergraduate or postgraduate course
2. Why I wanted to study in the UK
3. The reason for my choice of study
4. The reason for my choice of school

After the whole interview was over, he said that was all and told me to have a wonderful day. Thankfully, through out the whole interview he had no reason to ask me to repeat myself or speak up. He also kept nodding and passing comments such as "Fantastic!" and "Very good"; I guess he was impressed and satisfied (I just hope it goes a long way to help me in the success of my visa application"
Overall I can say it was a very good interview.

My Tips?
1. Be yourself
2. Be calm and Be confident (but not cocky)
3. Make sure you practice likely questions and likely answers. By now, everyone should know the most familiar questions they like to ask. However, be careful not to completely memorize your answers by heart
4. Be Honest (but be wise).
5. One thing I did was to sorta hint the guy that I was keen on coming back to Nigeria to start my career pursuits after the masters. So that they don't think I'm desperate or crazy about running away or overstaying my welcome. If they smell a hint of desperation on you, it might affect your application negatively.
6. Pray! Trust me it will help
7. Write a to do list for your documentation beforehand so that you do not leave anything out.

Now, I'm Just waiting to hear the good news and share my testimony I wish everyone else who is yet to go for their own appointment and interview good luck; and I pray that the favour of God will speak for you.
P.S It's not as hard as you think it is, so relax cos God's got you.

Hi Guys,

So I've been following this thread as a guest but decided to join in the discussion today especially because I had my appointment this week.
My interview went smoothly, I'm earnestly hoping for the best. However, I remembered that I didn't drop my printed CAS statement and neither did I write my IHS number anywhere on my submitted application, hope this won't affect my application?
