expensivestevie: My advice about Estonia is quite simple, do not come here if your intention is to work (a white collar job) to support your studies. Jobs are hard to come by, not because you are black, but because the jobs are not so many in the labour market. Also this issue of racism is sometimes taken too extreme and I do not know why. This is 2014 and racism in Estonia is relatively very very low. If you are in a school town environment like Tartu, you might be looked at strangely by older folks purely because they've actually not seen a black person in their whole life, but the younger lads (18 - 30) are very cool and even most times like blacks out of curiosity. Estonians are very shy but if you get to know them they are very nice people. If you come to Tartu to study, try staying at the Raatuse dorm because there's a lot of international students here and you would find it to be a wonderful experience.
Regarding skinheads, they actually are almost nonexistent right now though once in a blue moon you could see a skinhead or a NeoNazi clown but they rarely get violent (Never seen anyone yet though). You could be called a nigga a lot of times but as a Nigerian I dont see the Nigga word as a big deal though all my African American friends always make a fuss if they're called Niggas by whites, also in Estonia the word Neega is used to refer to black people so it might not necessarily be a racist slur but just somebody trying to explain that you're african. The downside though is that Estonia is f**king cold and you could get quite a lot of white nights.
If you want to enjoy your stay as a student in Estonia, please have your own money. The cost of living isn't high at all and with 250euros per month you could survive comfortably (provided you are staying in a dorm)....... plus students get a lot of discounts too.
Estonian education is getting better by the day but that has also made it very competitive lately due to the high increase of international students from neighboring Baltic countries and also Finland (Though Finland is considered a Nordic country). Estonia is quite beautiful during summer and quite a lot of the young generation actually understands simple and easy English.
All in all, I am trying to say if you want to come to estonia for purely study purpose with adequate finance for your studies and are not one with an extravagant lifestyle, 1million naira for an academic year would cover costs (not including accomodation, but accomodation in hostels are affordable. Maximum of 100euros per bed in a twin room). The headache though would be getting into the universities because without a first class, your chances of being admitted are quite slim, not to talk of getting a scholarship.
Estonian language classes can be taken as credit or non credit courses and my honest advice to anyone planning to come to Estonia is to take advantage of it and learn the Eesti language. You would surely be more appealing to even the older folks who haven't seen black people if they notice you can speak their language.
Lastly, always make sure you try going somewhere out of Estonia during summer. At least try visiting another country during one of your summer holidays if you come here to study. I'd advice Siena in Italy. The impression that all courses in Estonian universities are actually free is very very wrong...... Some courses actually require you to pay tuition fees so be very careful
Goodluck everyone
