Nice.. Enjoy bro.

Graviton2: Your international student advisor. Infact, the name and address signed on your i-20.

*Wipes sweat off*
Thank God.
I put my sch name and address..

Graviton2: I don't want to start a tribal e-war.

Nwanna, if the yorubas too show theirselves, we ggo start the war ooo..
#igbo man till I die..

Joenice: but i prefer yoruba guys. if an igbo man is friendly to you, it means he wants something from you. i like yorubas joor.

I disagree with you bro (not because of the fact that I am igbo)
I believe in personality not tribalism..

Idazbawz: at the bold: not all schools.... my school's dorm accommodates students even during summer holiday
I'm living a full residence life

Are you staying on campus and have you heard the students review of your hostel??
You have to be sure and prepared bro..

mandybaby2007: Summer is not a holiday becos many pple take summer classes. Does ur hostel remain open at d end of fall semester? I.e between end of fall semester in Dec nd begining of spring semester in january. If yes, are u sure?

I think booking off campus is better.
In my case my school asked me to pay $8k when I resume sch and to bring additional funds for living expense..
If I book off campus, I will have to look for more money to pay for accomodation offcampus..

Hello friends.
When filling ds160, that part where they ask edit US point of contact,
Whose contact should be there??

ase65: Thanks I already mailed the school waiting for their response tho. So u mean once I get an extension letter, I'm good to go.

Yeah, get a letter stating that you resume @ most 1st week of september, if the school can't issue the letter before your interview date the you may have to defer your admission..

Idazbawz: lemme first report you to seun

Idazbawz: lemme first report you to seun
