It's about 2 million this year. Doesn't include development levy for Year 7's.They rarely give full scholarships anymore. I think they still give partial funding but to a lot less than 1p percent of the school population

They still give full scholarships, at least to the boy and girl with the highest score in the common entrance. And they have special need-based scholarships for those who cannot afford the full cost of attendance. I know a lot of people from financially challenged backgrounds who attended and graduated from the institution. The important thing is that you inform the school of your inability to pay the full cost. If you don't inform them, there's no way they can know. But your ward has to pass the common entrance exam. Also, blind students are automatically given a full scholarship that enables them to attend the school for free throughout their six years.

Wa o. I thought the fees is in the neigbourhood of 2.5m. Do you have somebody there?. I will check their website again as they have some old newsletters that i once saw the fees to parents.

The people I knew there have all graduated. The last one graduated in 2015, meanwhile the highest amount she paid throughout her time there was 1.1 million. And she was never on a scholarship. Those amounts bloggers write are inflated and do not reflect the true amount the school charges.

Total fees including tuition, boarding and others at Loyola Jesuit College was 1.5 million naira per year as at last year. But if your son can get the highest score among male candidates in the common entrance exam, he would be given a full scholarship for the entire six years of study at the sch. Even if he doesn't get the highest score but performs well, he can still get a full scholarship if you inform the sch about your inability to pay. About 10% of the school population is on a scholarship. And it is the best secondary school in West Africa since at least the last 10 years.

Oh okay..Hehe.. I dont talk to people during my exams.. I hardly say a word.. I believe when i talk the little things i know would be jumping out..

Hahaha, not during the exams o. We were together before the exam. I got in before him, then he was eventually placed beside me when he was called in. That was over one hour after I had started. I finished the exam, waited for him and we ended up going home together.

TOEFL is not a kind of exam in which you can communicate. No calculations, nothing. Do you discuss how to talk or write essays? Time was almost inadequate sef, I just had to be really fast.

iekene:
Nope... Surname starts with I and ends with I... I was in Group B

Okay, I thought you were the one who sat beside me 'cos the bond I had with the guy was so strong. Success to you!

iekene:
Yes Lag..Surulere

I did mine there as well. Sorry, your name starts with A and ends with ED?

Hello Fam, In the Spirit of Valentine and GIVING.. I would be giving a Premium Notefull account Account for TOEFL preparations.. I had my exams on the 3rd of Feb and it was very helpful even though i still f up small because of exam tension (*i nor fit get perfect score finally)... Anyway the Notefull Tutorials are very helpful and addresses every part of toefl exam with every question type..

I wish we help more on this thread than cast aspersions #TWoods

If you are Interested...Please send me a pm assuring me you wont change the password... I would do my best to answer all pms i receive between now and the next 14 days ...

Greetings to @Walspring...@Lagosismyhome... You secretly inspire me to do this...

I benefitted from that your account and I had mine on Feb 3rd as well. Thank you once again. The only observation was that the actual exam ended up being tougher that all what I saw in the mock tests. At what centre did you write yours in Lag?

It was ranked 108 as at 2016 when I got accepted there. Money-wise, I wouldn't encourage any Nigerian to apply.

ologun01:
Do you have an idea what the fee is like for the masters program...my calculation is like 37 000 usd ( 900 per hour credit) excluding feeding and accomodation for like 33 -36 hrs

They are asking for bank statetement of account to complete my documents

I honestly don't know what the actual cost of attendance for graduate program would be considering that many factors should be considered. But have you tried checking their website? You may as well email goglobal

Sorry, I forgot. It was ranked number 108 which isn't bad. Meanwhile, I consider it a good sch looking at the fact that it has 75% success rate of acceptance to medical school. And it's engineering department is one of the best among catholic universities in the US.

ologun01:
I am applying to Masters in Electrical engr and engineering management there..just want to know how good the school is

Yea, yeah. It's a good sch, top 100 in the US. However, quite expensive with little financial aid.

ologun01:
Anybody know anything about University of Dayton , Ohio ( How good it is)

I got accepted there last year. Is your question based on grad or undergrad?

What were the reasons the student of the school gave you to validate his assertion that the school is not good? He has to give you some reasons.

Do you have your official transcript that shows that you attended 100 to 300 level? Did you take and pass the MB part 1 before dropping out?

As for your friend; if he has a Bsc in Anatomy, all he needs to do is apply by direct entry to any university in Nigeria. He would have to start from 200 level though. He cannot move directly to 300 level.

LagosismyHome:
Cool that the spirit so get to work.... start seeing how can you understand and do GRE differently and give yourself enough time to prepare but keeping in mind application deadline... i set you a challenge now ...I pay for your GRE through BY Mafit. . Let me know when you are ready to register

You are an inspiration. And blessings shall follow you.

Hello everyone. I need suggestions please

*I was unable to write the january SAT for some reasons but i want to write the next SAT for march 11 with the aim of having a high score for scholarship purpose but someone told me TOEFL is better. How true is this cos i felt TOEFL Is only meant for knowing an applicant's English ability/proficiency.

*Also, i need ideas from those who have written SAT on how to ace it (I've downloaded study materials and started studying vigorously. I'm also following the thread for TOEFL but there seems to be none for SAT on nairaland).

I can't write the 2 exams due to financial reasons hence my post. I would really appreciate everyone's suggestion.

Thanks.

From my little experience, the easier one between the two is dependent upon your personal strengths and weaknesses. Get prepared to solve some math on the SAT. So, if you're the type who doesn't enjoy math much, be prepared to work a little harder. Also, there is a SAT critical reading section which, from my personal studies, appears slightly tougher than the TOEFL reading section. Also, the registration costs for both exams differ.

I have also observed that most people who ace the SAT spend at least three months studying for it, with many of them attending expensive tutorials. But you can actually study for the TOEFL within two weeks, all by yourself. Just get relevant materials, including videos.

Now, talking about which is better; this is dependent upon the school you are applying to. Some schools require a very high score on the SAT for generous funding, while some schools just ask for the TOEFL. Some don't even ask for any, while some say the SAT is optional, but the TOEFL is compulsory. You need to critically study the application requirements of your school of choice, especially the financial aid requirements for international students.

I would have suggested that you take your time to study for both exams to be on the safest side; but since you can't afford to, here's my humble suggestion: get past questions/mock questions on both exams. In a day, you would have studied the structures and concepts enough to be able to ascertain where your strength lies.

Success!

People who should retire

1. Olamide
2. Wandecoal
3. 9ice
4. Reminsce

since we are being childish

Give your reasons why each one of them should retire.

olapluto:
Sowore should not ruin these guy's lives. Let them graduate before full blooded aluta. I enjoyed my aluta days at OAU, but without degree, it is difficult to get a start up job.

I hope you know that one of them works for Sahara Reporters. So, what if Sowore decides to employ the rest of them? Isn't that a start-up job?

I really like "Economy" and "Olorunsogo" by 9ice. I think he is still a great artiste.

This particular thread is one of the reasons I still seem to believe in Nigeria. There are a lot of amazing and kind-hearted people here. Only God can reward such people.

Walspring:
Some set of people here who are lovers of this thread have come together and decided to give back to this our great thread by given discount to intending student that are willing to write GRE or TOEFL or SAT in order to use it and get funding or assistant-ship from the schools they are applying to.

Only 10 people will benefit from this initiative and with genuine reasons. You can book down any slot at all and this offer will last in the middle of February 2017 which is Valentine's day..

Do not PM or send me private message because it going to be an open offer right inside this thread, also do no ask me who are these people because they wish to be anonymous.

I don't understand. Do you mean those people will help us register for the TOEFL or GRA at a cheaper price or what? Also, does it apply to both graduate and undergrad students?

Wuminity:
Alright then,
Thanks alot, Though am not going to rely on DE alone, i will also apply into Polytechnic Ibadan for HND.
I realy appreciate.

All right. Good luck to you!

Wuminity:
Realy? i never knew o.
I think i would do as you have said.
But, do you have an idea of the job opportunities available for a CLA graduate? before i go for it.
Thanks in Advance.

Every job opportunity available for Mass Comm students is also available for CLA students. Do you know that UI has a radio station for her CLA students? This is the same as the UNILAG FM for UNILAG Mass Common students.


So, just imagine in your head where Mass Comm students can work and know that CLA students can work there too. But the language arts attached to it makes it even broader and gives more opportunity to CLA students, for example if you chose to travel abroad.

beeolhar:
Truth b told,Oau cannot b compared with UI in any form,u can not compare d standard of Oau in terms of academic, religious, political and social activities wit dat of UI.Asides frm d unstable academic calendar dat scare candidates away frm Oau, UI is still coming behind Oau,OAU products command more respect in d outside world as compared to UI products.Although i attended neither of d two schools,but I would prefer Oau to UI.

Lmao, where do you guys hear statements such as this? In the outside world, no one knows the difference between UNILAG and Adeleke University, or between OAU and Oduduwa University. All universities in Nigeria are considered the same abroad. Try moving out of Nigeria and see for yourself. Or by "outside world", do you mean the OAU campus?


Having said that; within Nigeria there seems to be more prestige for OAU graduates of Law than UI graduates of Law. And there seems to be more prestige for UI graduates of Medicine than OAU graduates of Medicine. Let me stop at those two courses.

Wuminity:
school : The polytechnic Ibadan
course : Mass Communication
grade : Upper Credit
level : ND
school aspiring for : I dont even know, i am confused after reading through different schools requirments here.
i was thinking of choosing Unilag as first choice and Delta State University as second choice, since UI does not have mass comm but CLA.
any one with a better advice should please help o.

Why not go for CLA? it's even better than Mass Comm in the sense that it is broader. CLA is really good; go for it. They do everything Mass Common students do and even more.

Part 11 opened with drama!

justwise:
Done.

Thank you!

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
No , I won't . Good day

My auto-correct caused some errors in it, so I had to modify it. That was why I asked you to unquote it. But it's no problem if you won't. Have a nice day!

EZEIGBO1OFIMO:
you are clearly new to NL then, back in '08/'09 Travel section was always hot with NIN VS NID , the likes of sagamite, cougar, babyosisi, almondjoy et al, made this place not so educative but fun, the good old day you yearn for were not so good oog

You're right that I'm new to NL, sir. I wasn't referring to old days as far back as the date you mentioned. I didn't even know a word called ''Nairaland'' was in existence back then. I just joined this thread last year.


Yes, it's fun but at times insults may not be fun, especially to strangers.



Pls, kindly unquote my last post you quoted. Thanks!

I remember those days when this thread was strictly about the United States students' visa application and education in America generally. Indeed, There Was A Thread!



The new development isn't bad, anyway. Somehow, the arguments and counter-arguments are enlightening and educative.



But when we argue, let's try and show respect to one another. What's the essence of arguing with insults? It only shows the kind of people we are and it won't end up serving the good purpose of education, because such arguments don't end well. Let's respect one another even during times of hot arguments whether we believe in God or not; at least it shows our level of moral standard. America or no America, all is vanity! Let's encourage more people to come here with their questions or enquiries. Describing people, especially newbies, with words such as ''lazy'', etc. in my opinion isn't respectful at all. And pls, let's respect our country Nigeria too, especially those of you already outside Nigeria. No need throwing tantrums back to us here. Nigeria can still be great, and if it can't, let's not worsen the already bad situation with our own words.



Abeg, this is just my opinion o.

Beelad:
Pls i just PMd you. Need a bit of info. Thanks

Okay, replied.

Do you respond to PMs on this forum?
