@naijamark, yea u all are on point... am still doing a thorough check in terms of job prospects and der individual modules. BUT about d tuition fee.... Coventry is £11453 and Sheffield is £11900. so with d discount I should be paying £8900 at shu instead. so u see d difference now. but either way I'd try not to let d NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND NAIRA discount overshadow my decision |

@justwise, spike C etc... HELP!!! owkay...now I've got ur attention . here's d drift please I need candid advice on which school to accept btw a) Coventry University which is doing pretty gud amongst oda schools plus dey've got sum pretty career programs (such as d GLP and IEMS) dat will really benefit me. AND b) Sheffield Hallam University which is also not bad in d ranking and they are giving me £3000 discount (Dats close to a million box ). plus its cost of living is cheaper dan Coventry. Now my Igbo sense keeps telling me 'young man Sheffield hallam is d best (I believe u knw why). so I don't knw...I need advice. 2) .. is der any thing wrong in accepting conditional offers from 2-3 different schools...i knw someone who did and is seeking ur advice. if he made a mistake by accepting d offers ( Conditional) and ow to go about it. |

Preciousstones: yea although what d individual can offer is paramount, but I still feel ow a school rank kinda still has dis ' overall reputation effect' wen viewed from an employers perspective... even tho till 2morow i'm 51% sure dat employers still favour d Russell unis ist, am really happy coventry and I think surrey be giving some of des schools a run for der money... |
