thanks Loone.Can u tell me more about the city St Petersburg.Standard of living,racism and job availability for foreign students?

Thanks so much for the comprehensive information.I really appreciate that.

Hi Davedavy and opcomm,
I will like to know if I'm gonna apply for visa @ russian embassy here in Lagos or Abuja.The information is required in one of the forms I have to fill in here(country and city where visa will be arranged).
Moreover,I will like to know the visa acquisition procedure from the point of submission onward.
Secondly,what are the other documents I've got to legalise at the embassy aside my educational certificates?
Finally,do u have an idea of how I can go about the NDLEA stuff?
If all thes are done,could there be any difficulty in securing the visa?
Thanks

Hi opcomm and davedavy,
I really appreciate your help so far.I'm really confused with this racism thing.Actually,I'm applying for school outhere cos of the low tuition.I would have prefered any other place with a tuiition as low as $2500.Anyway,if my best bet is still to go there,can you tell me how life is in Petersburg in general,especially for international students/foreigners?Moreover,how can one avoid impendinmg trouble with the so call racist 'skull head'?btw P'burg and moscow,which is a bit better in term of racism and other things that make life worthwhile in russia.Thanks and have a great weekend as I will be expecting your response soon.

Hi davedavy,thank God you were once there (or may be still there now).What have you got to say about the racism?is it so bad as widely proclaimed?any aadvice on that?thanks for your help so far.i'll be waiting to hear back from you.

Hi davedavy,I've realy found your pieces of information very useful and guilding.As per my school of interest,I'm considering Rostov State Univ or St. Petersburg State Polytechnic Univ(SpspU) but the tuiton for Spspu seems to be on the high side.Nevertheless,what do u know about the schools in terms of societal acceptability,job opportunitie(when free to do one) and general life outhere?Meanwhile it will be appreciated if you have any other better school in mind.Thanks for your swift response.

Hi davedavy,pls,I will like to know if the visa granted in the case of applying for PCP is multiple or single cos I will love to be visiting home while studying outhere.Not opnly that,I hope it wont be too difficult to secure the visa after getting invitation from the school?.Moreover,what are the kinds opf job that are available for students if at all i have any window to work.Finally,are they fairly payed job?like how much per hour.

Pls,I need someone who is living or had lived and studied in Russia to tell me how the place is like for Nigerians.I'm intending to go there for a year preparatory course that will grant me admission for their masters programme.Any viable contribution on life as students,job availability to substain and any other opportunities ?
