TravelRe: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HLion(m): 5:34pm On May 22, 2017

TravelRe: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HLion(m): 5:19pm On May 22, 2017
CallmeLucy:
Coventry Uni is quite good plus there's a large population of Nigerian students as well so that's a plus. Nightlife in Coventry isn't too good tho.


About the fees, you can pay in Pounds, it doesn't matter if you wanna pay in USD as well tho but it's gonna be more expensive because of exchange fee.

For accommodation, it depends if you're living in a student accommodation or in a house. If you're living in a student accommodation, you make payment three times a year, student accommodation is quite expensive tho, I'm paying about £5.5k for one academic year which is roughly 9 months but I'm in Birmingham tho, price gonna be similar as Coventry. The calculations are made on a weekly basis but you make payment in September, January and April. If you're renting a house, it costs about half the price which might be an option you might wanna consider.

I'm not sure about the other two Unis on the list. University of Birmingham and University of Leeds are two Uni you might wanna have a look at as well. Manchester is good as well as I'm planning on getting my Masters in University of Manchester next year.

Hope this helps......
Thanks...it really did, like to ask some other questions .. ...So any other Coventry University students here?. You can add your own advice
TravelRe: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HLion(m): 6:19pm On May 21, 2017

TravelRe: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by HLion(m): 6:17pm On May 21, 2017
Oh and...how you guys pay your fees...do your guardians/sponsors pay pounds directly or go through dollars?

Hello all, arrived Canada safely, was asked for My Letter of offer and acceptance at the POE, the process was pretty fast, just about 10 minutes. Thanks @folaroyal, @mikimiko, @mich V, @emma4eva and others. I wish all TRV hopefuls the best of luck.
Meanwhile the weather is freezing cold !!! No cause for alarm , just dress properly and you will be fine.
God bless you all.
...Nice one..but please how did you get your Canadian dollars in Nigeria...and which airways did you use?
TravelRe: Travelling To Canada Part 11 by HLion(m): 11:19am On Jan 04, 2017
dreeyy:
You don't need to buy CAD coz actually no one will sell CAD for you. What bank sell for you is USD. I don't know what you paying for, if it is school fees, you either buy USD straight from the bank or you open a Dom account , buy usd from aboki or anyone and deposit it into your Dom account.
As regards sustaining yourself with little job, ofcourse you can, in as much as that's not where you intend to source all your tuition fees. You can always have your 20hrs/week job but I can bet you that's just for "sustainance" like you mentioned.

I hope this help
.....OK..Thanks dreyy

Please am asking this for the third time, if anyone would be nice enough to help... I want apply for a bachelor degree in SA, so I need to evaluate my o level with SAQA? or I can apply with my certified o lever result. And please what university admits Nigerians with o level results?
...I dmt know about that there are some that accept O level results...Am also going for undergraduate next year...Going for University of johnnesburg(UJ) and University of South africa(Unisa)...Unisa is much more affordable...Just visit their website www.uj.ac.za or www.unisa.ac.za....so email them for enquiries or call them directly ...Hope that helps...Keep me posted on how it goes....
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by HLion(m): 11:10pm On Sep 17, 2016
And i stand to be corrected about the tution fees ...i just made the estimate...nd besides i heard that Unisa(University of south africa)is much more cheaper that UJ..i dnt know how true that is

Hey guys...am planning on applying for an undergraduate programme at University of johannesburg...School fees is ab8ut R27,000...and cost of accomodation is almost about R22,000...How much will it cost to get a place just close to the school...Low budget though...Is it possible to apply witj just WAEC nd GCE/NECO sittings pr with ISAT or TOEFL..Thanks
TravelRe: General South Africa Visa Enquiries by HLion(m): 5:34pm On Sep 09, 2016
samuelUMOH:
It is not a must you enrolled in their colleges but the bitter truth is that your waec is evaluated below their own matric .Meaning that you must have Waec + diploma or Gmat or TOEFL to be able to apply for undergraduate program .
ok thanks....so how would you rate the stay in south africa our of 10?

1- I am not so sure about transcripts certification because it must be sealed in principle and addressed to wherever you want to send it,(I will still confirm this and let u know),
2- get both photocopies of passports data page and certificates, and their originals to any court. They should certify them there. I leave around Iyana in Ota along the road to Canaan Land. I have certified so many times at the Ota high court just in front of Honda company and it's 250 naira per page.

3- You can use any Express mail to send the documents to your friend in UJ. Just for him to give you the correct address.

I am also aware that the SA custom inspects everything coming into the country and that at times delays the mail and prolongs the waiting time on the receivers end.
I had the experience, i was in UJ and documents were sent to me. I expected to have them within the normal 3-4 working days but I didn't till I left. It arrived about 2weeks later and the explanation above is what I was given.
Sorry, very long and boring? I hope it helps anyway.
