post=63037601: Sorry but I think you are wrong. I study in California and Spanish is widely spoken in most parts of America. Spanish-speakers colonized many areas that later became part of the United States before English-speakers. Most governments forms and even signs are bilingual. English & Spanish |

evelynne20: You can't prepare for all exact questions in AN Interview. You need to know the in and out of what you are going for not just cramming answers. You should be able to come up with apt answers no matter what is asked because you understand the scope of what you applying for. |

Olamsanj: Work on the bolded areas. You just left school 2016 are you sure now now you have gotten a job as a computer science teacher. Why VIU your answers given were not strong enough also are you sure your high school teacher is an alumni of VIU . You aunt is sponsoring your trip but she's your immediate elder sister When asked how closed she is to you you should have given strong reasons why shes choosing to spend millions in your education and not your direct parents. Sorry about your delay. |

So I have a question for those who have been in the US for a while : Is it normal that you are been ostracized by the white folks like your classmates . I am not speaking racism, I have white friends and we talk and discuss on the regular but when it comes to like forming a group or having a partner everyone tries to avoid you. The latest was on our last field trip. Everyone had sitting partners and I was left to sit alone . Even my "so called friends. Is this a normal experience or it's just me ? 5 Likes |

Wow Too Many bullets flying around here. Anyway, I have been in the US for a Month Now. Its been an experience. The US is really a Good place to study in. I have never loved education the way i love it now. As in I love going to class. Professors are down to earth and you know they are more than willing to help you. Lecturers in Nigeria place themselves as God over students and most times you are even scared to ask question in class or even go to their office to get clarifications on what you were taught or a section of their handouts you don't understand, more often they don't understand fully what they teach. In the US, Professors have walk in office hours for student so in case you don't understand something clearly they are willing to explain, they even give you their email and phone Number. Classes start exactly when they are supposed to, I have never seen a professor come late to class, you are informed well ahead of time if they wont be coming for a particular class so you can plan your schedule properly. Most times i just feel bad for Nigeria, there even a whole lot of professors who claim to have studied in the US and still return home and do the direct opposite of what they experienced in the US. I pray things change and when "YOU" studying in the US finally return home and probably get a lecturing job, you practice the same standard of education with which you got while in the states. God Bless Nigeria 25 Likes 1 Share |

Ohjaybee: I would just drop this here. If you are applying for visa with a Community College i20 you have to be 10x more prepared than others going for Masters and PhD. Its hard to sometimes judge a VO's decision by an interview transcript because other factors come into play such as information filled in your DS160 and what you say during the interview, body language during the interview e.t.c . You should be ready to sell yourself by all means . From your transcript there are some not too good answers V.O: what are you going to do in the US Me: V.O: so tell me about the program Me: [s]it's general education is aimed at preparing students for whatever they'd like to major in after transferring credits to get their bachelor's degree in a 4year university.[/s] You Should have spoken about Philosophy and not Liberal Arts and Science Since you already said you are majoring in Philosophy. Speak about the courses you would be taking and how you are excited and passionate about choosing philosophy as a Major. You could speak about some popular people you know that studied philosophy and are doing very well Side Note: When i got my i20 at first Liberal Arts and Science was written but i requested for another one stating my Major (Computer Science). I wasnt prepared to defend why Liberal Art is written on my i20 yet i am majoring in computer science V.o: why would you want to spend thousands of dollars schooling in the US amidst the numerous school in Nigeria Me:[s](surprised though but had to answer) well, psychology is something I'm very passionate about and I'd want to really study it in depth both theoretically and practically, schools here in Nigeria do not really touch the practical aspect (cuts me short)[/s] There's actually no Class Practical aspect in Philosophy. You only practice philosophy in your everyday life. You should have spoken about the high standard of education that the US offers in terms of teaching and the quality of teaching staffs and also there would be a great diverse and international environment. There are a lot of international students, so class discussions are very interesting and offer diverse perspectives. VO: and what makes you think the schools there do a lot of practical Me: ([s]taken aback but didn't show it) I've been in close contact with my international education program specialist from the school and she let me in on all I need to know [/s] She's Right no Practical. VO: who's sponsoring you Me: Vo: what does he do Me: [s]he's a medical doctor and a business man [/s] Just say he is a Medical Doctor, dont create question for yourself. I am not an expert but this is to the best of my knowledge. Review this with the Gurus. Better Luck next time 19 Likes 2 Shares |

TWoods: Probably you didn't understand my previous post. No one is relying on US Government to fund college cost,It is not a "Funded" agreement, it is a privilege given to students who attend California community colleges and display outstanding leadership skills in various areas. Fortunately the Transfer Agreement Plan works for all including International Students. More 97% admitted International students admitted here with me plan to transfer to a 4 year California University. They are from other countries, I am the only Nigerian among them I obtained my Visa with a Community College i20 not a University. I discussed this transfer option with the VO and i was issued a Visa. You could google this, you probably would understand better. 13 Likes 3 Shares |
