I see a lot of folks asking about fundings. Well from what I know, it's not easy to get fundings from schools these days on your first year. What I will encourage is that you have some money to pay for your first year and begin to pursue fundings for the later part. I got admitted without fundings. I had money for barely a semester with hopes of living with the money I make from on campus jobs and working hard to get good grade which is not easy as it seems. But when I arrived, I took time to critically looked at the professors that have grants and research work on going. I then approached a prof told him that before I left Niger I have said is him I want to work with. I wind the guy wella he said okay can I give you a test. I said yes then he asked me few fundamental questions and I did alright. I just get ginger he said I see you have the zeal to study and learn and plain about your previous education. I didn't even ask him sir I need assistantship. I will fund you and this is what I am working on. Watin d guy dey do no even relate to mechanical na anatomical endovascular research I come say okay sir. He is a prof of mechanical engineering (fluids) and he has funded me from the start and he is still funding me so I ended up not even paying for the first semester. I blend in sharply and easily to the guys research and it was fun. That's my experience. Guys ask questions carefully select schools which is kinda hard and look at the professors. But first have the money for atleast one semester. I hope this helps. Thanks hailings to men.

men don go men still dey... I feel your OT... I never see anyone for this thread wey dey communications line.. Kai I dey feel lonely..

Hello people. I noticed something yesterday which I want to point out. I have been asking departments and professors for G.A positions with no luck but never once asked the chair of my department although he and I have exchanged a couple of friendly emails when he realised I speak his native language. I got a mail yesterday from him asking about my situation regarding assistantship and how he could help. Being friendly and getting to know some of these people will actually help. Ciao.

Fortissimo:
Can you imagine I used to spell it assistanceship. Till one day I realised my grad coord used a different spelling. Shame catch me.

haha, not to worry a couple of mistakes don't hurt. I hardly make them though because I pride myself in being flawless both in enunciation and diction. Calculations have always been my achilles heel so I focused on languages. I go still learn German last last. My departmental chair sent me a message sef yesterday asking about assistantship, I wonder if he really cares or just dey test me. Will update una on the final destination of our discussion in the course of further discourse.

Holudarey01:

angel34real:
I got mine via going from one office to the other!

thanks. You are a darling... Anybody in grand Valley state uni, michigan here?

Hello, I am in the process of applying for a US student visa and I intend to claim civil union here and that I have kids. Apart from that my sponsor is a marital uncle who is a federal legislature. Will his bank statement and introductory letter be enough proof on his part that we are related?

worry359:
The IMPORTANT things are in red

You were rejected because you did not show strong ties to return after your visit.
Being single is just one lack of the strong ties.
Position in company manager everyone calls themselves manager or CEO even if there are only two people in the
business! Did you supply any proof?
Business importation did you suppl documents, tax certificates, or anything.
You could be selling from stall in the market for all they know.
Earnings, were they backed up on statement and tax returns?

Work on your strong proof that you will return home.

Dear VO having being granted an F-1 visa for michigan state would it raise questions if I decide to enter through New york and then get a local flight to michigan? The reason is because as at a few days past when I checked the website a flight from lagos to new york costs 856 dollars and from new york to michigan 245 dollars while a direct flight from lagos to michigan is 2679 dollars on emirates. I hope I won't be denied entry based on a different POE? Thanks.

D issue on ground is this. I was thinking, can't I get a GA or RA position by going from one office to the other? And also how early should I arrive in school to do this?
