I am looking for accommodation close to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore ..Please do you have anyone in that area that needs a roommate?

No I don't.

akandry:
I just sent you a pm I'm urgently in need of accommodation at baltimore thanks for this

We talked about it already. Your school to my place is far and bus route to my place is messed up.

Still waiting for feedback from a cousin who stay close to your school. Once I hear from him, I'll feed you.

Is anyone coming to Baltimore/Rosedale MD? I have an accommodation for you. Rent is $480/mo. Electricity/gas - $40/mo on average. Free water and internet. food is free till you get yourself together. I will also help with your commute to school but not every time.

Its a two bedroom apartment at Rosedale.

You should only consider this if you'll be attending Morgan State, CCBC, UB, Towson Uni and Johns Hopkins.

Boss himself... I hail from this side of town.

From one bsc to another.... this should have been your first question of focus. ....

You took that out of my mouth.

@Moravelu, Re-apply asap and provide a convincing reason why you chose to dive into another BSc major. (Not just because "It's inline with my future aspiration"... Show passion and go a lil bit into detail)

Better luck next time bro

Chiezzh:
I'm begging who so ever that can assist me that I've got angered with my attitude ...I'm sorry please assist me fill this form ...

Bro, no one can help fill your form better than yourself that's why COs frown at Agents' touch on applicants DS-160. Fill what you can defend. Your DS-160 does almost 75% of your VISA interview. Be consistent in your DS-160, they most times see through the lies. So dont try to change what you had in your previous DS-160 but you can add to it just to fill blanks that could help you.
Again, I repeat! Be consistent!
Make sure you can defend what you have in there.

it is too much for me to start .......... You either go through the whole thread and read it all regardless of data cost or giving up your sleep . (if its me that what i would do) or you read these previous transcript of success and rejection and learn from it . The dropbox was done a while ago so it doesn't have many other transcript posted since but it gives you a base line to work from

get your pen and paper and note the questions especially the frequently asked on and build your own transcript

Wow! So this my dropbox link still exists. Happy its useful tho.

Visa approved this morning at exactly 7:30am. Want to thank everyone for their contribution. Y'all really helped one way or the other. Shout out to Texrem, Deetus and Meritdee for the mocks and corrections. Really gained from the group. @Meritdee, thanks for the last minute encouragement, hope you wake up to see this as we discussed. Once again, thanks y'all. Transcript to come soon.

Yes!!! I was looking forward to this. Thank God and good job.

My people, I greet una oh!

I have full coverage and pay $93/month (including renters insurance). Now, I've never been in an accident so I don't know how good my coverage is (even though i have read the policy we all know these insurance companies are crazy). I've used the emergency towing service though at no out of pocket cost.

Oh boy!!!

biikeys:
I'm in Maryland. I used to pay about $40 on liability...That is way too much money. Even my full coverage on a very recent car is somewhere around your quote for liability

Lol, my full coverage is $143 and that's the best I've seen. Abeg let me romance it for now. I'll worry about looking to cut more in few months. Stop using your sweet quote to slap me.

Chai!! benefit of living in the south (impoverished local zone).

saninwa:
I am far away from waec head office lagos. A friend of mine told me that WES sends documents for verification through regular mail (post). Am just confused here now

I though they send it through regular mail as well until my friend recently went to his school to confirm if they received verification mail from WES. School was on strike but He got them to check it though and he said he saw numerous unread WES email in their inbox. So I figured it is electronic.

slimmy2005:
I am not registered under anybody at all. Checkout Jupiter Insurance ( they cover georgia, TN, Alabama, Oklahoma and Arkansas). Direct insurance is good too if they cover your area. Dang, my plate number will keep reading TN till I leave the US

Jupiter and Direct are not in MD. And I'm kinda cool with state farm for now as opposed to the $271 liability I was paying when I was with Nationwide.

gunther6:
Nope it is a 2003 Saturn and insurance in MD is one of the most expensive in the country. I think there was not an insignificant amount of bias in the decision to award 50/50. Driving history(US) , experience counts a lot in this decision but I'm fighting it anyway

Say no more! If you want to break your backbone, make your city route Baltimore as an inexperienced driver (US Driving history). Watch as your quote struggles to touch the hem of Jesus Christ for survival.

slimmy2005:
I pay $32 monthly for liability back then and it was 2001 Toyota Camry. Which state is he in?

You were probably registered under your uncle's policy cuz that amount is next to godliness I teeyu!

He's in Maryland and I'm paying $143/mo full coverage on a 2008 Toyota Camry in same state.

Sometimes its hard to figure out why some quotes are that crazy.

saninwa:
Hello beloved people,
Please I am really traped in the WES Evaluation process. My documents has been sent back to waec for verification, for weeks now no change in the status of the evaluation. I guess waec hasn't received any document from them. I have been writing to them, demanding for a courier service to send the docs so as to expedite the process, but all my emails goes unanswered; I only receive an automated acknowledgement message. I am beginning to regret using WES for Evaluation, their own protocol is too long. The deadline for applications from international students is Dec. 1st in the school I applied to, and all documents must be received by the deadline. I have sent everything, but just this evaluation, and it's compulsory to be submitted.
Please do anyone have an idea of how I can contact WES, they are just frustrating my efforts here.

Sorry about your troubles but WES will not respond to your request for courier service and the verification that was sent to waec would be an electronic copy. Try contacting WAEC head office for confirmation. Do not assume WAEC didn't get it, you paid for WES service, they won't play around with your documents.

slimmy2005:
Ahn Ahn, say wetin happen bros? Liability for that amount? Are you driving a 2015 CRV Jeep nii.

When you're been hit, you call the cops, they document who is at fault, if you're not the one, you take the policy number of the person and report to their insurance for reimbursement based on what you guys bargained. Also, you would called for health damages or amount you incurred for treatments as well.

My friend is driving 2013 Toyota Corolla and he's still paying $282/mo liability. He's tried numerous agents and they always end up with close quote or complicated ish. His record is clean o.

Towncrier007:
my advice to u is that ehhhhhhh..... you should not think it twice, just **** ********.

Sir, your advise sounds funny but could get you in trouble. I'd advise you to rephrase it.

biikeys:
Why are you guy paying that much for liability coverage
Source around for better plans for similar or same coverage from insurance agents. What you're paying for liability is what some people pay for full coverage..or even less depending on the state. You're spending way too much on ordinary liability. And yeah..you should follow up through with your claim and get what you're supposed to get. Your premium might go up though

His premium is definitely going up. But before you are given a quote, there are so many stuff they'll consider. How busy your route is and your neighborhood (city) is definitely gonna affect your quote. Also your years of experience as a driver, sadly they only determine this through your US driver's license.

gunther6:
Na GEICO I dey use o and Na liability I dey( $137/month) , those thieves quoted more than ($200/month) for full coverage. And baba I fit walk o nothing do me but I must still do therapy just to be sure and I'm fighting that 50/50... Even the police report from the scene blame the guy and I get eye witness

GEICO is an awesome company tho according to the people that use em. Maybe there are some hidden clauses in your policy. Was paying $271/mo on Nationwide Liability coverage until I switched to state farm. State farm offered me $143/mo for full coverage. After you are done sorting this, try looking for a cheap full coverage insurance policy and you'd avoid stories like this.

Sorry about the mess.

LagosismyHome:
why does he need a bank to do western union except if he is talking about a certified cheque (check) which is another option ...... he should just locate the nearest western union shop and go pay the sevis or walk into a post office and do a money order. i dont follow the 2 weeks he talking about . ....or has he done a runner with your money . just joking

did u check with bigfrancis21 , sirRiddy ,Texrem and walspring before sending it to your friend. any of these 3 might help u pay the Sevis .

lol, was about to reply same. That excuse sounds so fishy.

deeMarc:
Please guys I have a question to ask...Is NYSC a necessary criteria to get admission in the US for Msc and won't it have any negative effects during visa application or interview?
Thanks.

It won't have negative effect on your visa application but you don't wanna be a 'limited' entity when you eventually come back home if you know what i mean.

Home is always home bro, don't rush.. get all necessary credentials, so you'll always be in good standing and your conscience at peace all the time.

gunther6:
I greet everybody o, how every The cold has been brutal, exam, oral defenses on top of the CFA I'm writing barely a week from now but God dey... Mekurexx, Fortissimo, Oludare I sight una. plauses, calfavour, cutemorgan and Riddy y'all owe me mails. I greet imperiouxx and Darefadi(London is my home).
And as for prospective students, this is the year of Trump which will make US policy fluid and in a state of flux at least for the next 4 yrs. There is at least going to be a potential crackdown on H-1B visas for encroaching on 'American jobs'. This has become a really clannish place.
Again build yourself, toughen up before coming here. A lizard in Nigeria will not turn to an alligator in North Dakota and you will not start pissing rosewater when you get here. If you are coming in for economics and you have no solid quantitative background be prepared to work thrice as hard or boy you are in for one hell of a ride.
I It has been up and down here, I have been robbed, I have been towed in front of a NLders apartment (cost me $300 give a few dollars the week a few bills were due) and I have been in an accident (20th Nov) which was ruled by my insurance company as a 50/50 even though I was hit from the back, I'm getting a lawyer and disputing that verdict and going for therapy as I have been unable to walk since the accident.

Wow! What is the name of your insurance company? Are you on liability coverage or Full coverage? If full coverage, abeg no gree o my brother. You've really had an adventurously dramatic experience by the way and may God heal you.

tunamost:

texrem:

Hey boss! I see you are doing a great work. Thanks

imperiouxx:
I'm using a Samsung phone with yahoo app running 24/7. Whenever I try to login on any computer, a dialogue opens on my phone yahoo app where I can accept or decline login. As such, I don't have to key in any password before logging in to my email on any computer. Such double security pass is the latest way of preventing email hacking. Try set up one if you're using yahoo mail and an android phone.

That's the same kinda double security Nairaland is tryna implement. I think that's why some set of people are getting numerous emails.

warriboy21:
