You should try Airbnb. There are some very reasonable long term rent options

Hello boss and bosses in the house, pls I want to know if it is possible to study n work in US and cope with taking care of a baby. Pls help a sister

I have an aunt that did this and she's now a successful graduate. 1) the work she was doing was for extra change, she already had her tuition money set aside 2) she had some cousins and nieces in the area that helped her babysit when she was in school/work.

So I'll say it's very possible if you already have your tuition fees set aside (or at least most of it) and if you have a friend/sister/cousins etc in the area that can help you babysit. Otherwise, your student job won't cut it neither will the extra expenses to pay for babysitters make it easy for you.

How bad is your personality that you can't make friends in person?

maybe she is shy or introverted. Not everyone with no friends has a bad personality

Hi, we can be friends if you'd like

Hi good day, as an international student, will I have to pay a part payment of the school fees in UMD before coming to the u.s and is it compulsory I write an eng proficiency test bfore i'll be given admission in UMD??
Thanks

Yes, you have to pass TOEFL OR IELTS to prove your English proficency. The only exceptions are if you took an advanced English course in the US already. Also, NO you don't have to pay a part of your school fees until you actually resume and register for classes. Your tuition fees in umd depend on how many credits(classes) you're taking that semester and you have 2 weeks after resuming to pay before incurring late fee charges.
This is specific to the UMD in college park but it also applies to the ones in Baltimore and the county as well.

Especially ladies!! Don't females come to the US?

Okay,you are a student?well that explains a lot.

Maryland is Nigeria.

You will get tired of seeing them too much soon,and like me will eventually move away.

Yeah, wrapping up my final year. Haha i actually think i want to settle down in maryland or Virginia.
I hear that a lot but for some strange reason, i just never see them. LOL

Am 20 a secondary school graduate,am in lagos now,need to do my undergraduate in,America,how do I go about it,I need detailed guidelines PLS.

1) What schools to apply to? Do your research, start from google, ask people. Join a SAT lesson or just study on your own. Write your SAT and TOEFL (depending on your school). If you need more information on the actual process of applying to a school, give me your list of schools and I’ll come up with a detailed process. I have more knowledge on schools in Maryland.
2) Visa? you need to get a student visa if you're not a US citizen. I think it's called an F1 visa. Don’t be nervous. Find useful links all over the internet. Have financial stability/sponsor documented for your interview. not too sure about the details but theres a thread here dedicated to VISA processes.
3) I-20. If your school does not contact you after granting you an acceptance letter to the school, CONTACT THEM!
4) Housing? Do your research, call and ask questions. Try to find a roommate yourself if you hate to go with the flow.
5) Choosing classes. Be careful with your choices in your first year. Check professor reviews (not that important tbh)
6) Socializing. If you want to socialize, you MUST join clubs.
7) Resources. There are a ton of resources in your school, use them! Counselling, Academics, writing centers, libraries, the list is endless if you search.
Get an internship, volunteer in an activity. Get a job.

Where in PG County? I stay in Howard County.

College park. Where in Howard county?

HungerBAD:


PG County has a lot of Pure Nigerian Community. Is Laurel not in PG County?that is one of the most Nigerianized places in the State of Maryland.

Riverdale,New Carrollton, Baltimore is pure OSHODI.

Your question is a strange one that you dont see Nigerians in Maryland. I could have sworn all the Blacks(Africans) i met in my Years there, 3 out of every 5 were Nigerians.

You're right. I'm sure there's lots of Nigerians out here. I've met a couple old women in stores speaking Yoruba or Igbo very loudly. But in my school and where I stay, the Africans I'm friends with have never spent a day in Africa. Maybe I just don't go out enough to meet the Nigerians who actually have lived in Nigeria. I agree about Baltimore as well, I have a friend there. It's too rowdy for me though so I never really go there.

Electroweb:
I know what you are feeling. Yankee can be really lonesome if you don't know much people. Everytime you talk to Yankee people they will say "excuse me can you repeat that". People are just working to pay mortgages in a society where you have to careful and watchful everytime.

LOL true! It took me a year to finally get past that 'can you repeat that?' phase. Funny enough, I have a lot of friends, most of them are just black Americans or Africans that have never spent a day in Africa lol

Which City you dey stay there?

I stay in PG county

banky222:



kai y not Boston!

awww why not Maryland! lol

When I realized they had removed it, I was so confused. I read their rules and definitely did not break any rule. Anyway, were you trying to send an email?

I've been in the DMV area for 3 years now and I have not met a nigerian that is actually 'straight out of nigeria'. I've also not seen any threads for people who are already in the US so i decided to create this one.
If you are new in the US (Maryland precisely) and have questions, ask away! If you need a friend, mentor or someone to show you around, I'm your girl!

I go to UMD so if you're coming to umd or any other school in Maryland, and you have any questions, Hit me up.
