Admission is on already for spring session

mr wip is not in cyprus at present and also its religious holiday here in cyprus till Tuesday next week.offices are close for now and will be open on Wednesday.
Just an info for those wanting the services of school should endure till Wednesday just in case there is delay in response of their emails.

Oligarki: sent you a mail.

House, Please how can one obtain the pick up form? couldn't find it on the school website.
Thanks

For the form go to http://www.emu.edu.tr/oryantasyon/KarsilamaForm.aspx

boblin: Hello everyone. Pls I need to knw about those going to study in ciu or currently studying. On my initial offer from ciu. I ws asked to pay 2500euros before acceptance letter will be issued. My question is will the money cover my one year accomodation/1year fees

On the admission letter do they write the money is for both tuition and accommodation?

boblin: I am happy to be here. I applied to ciu cyprus and conditional offer letter was sent to me to pay 2500euros before unconditional letter will be sent to me. Please fellow student. Am I in the right direction

Yes you are on the right direction

onedebos: You can book that with your Gtb card, if you don't have that, I can help you book from here.

To3i: Im fully aware of dat bt wat of ist-ecn?

Be careful when sending money to students account in the name of helping cause not all that glitters are gold.

pittoilet: please house my final destination is at larnaca, how safe is it to land there and will i get to emu from there cos i know i dnt have the southern cyprus visa i also heard the school bus will pick me from the southern part of cyprus how true is it please, dnt wanna be stranded

Larnaca is south cyprus and no school bus go there. so if you dont have visa for there better dont book your flight to go there else you will be deported back to Nigeria and not to northern cyprus. So be advice and book to north cyprus or change the flight if you have already booked it to larnaca.
If not that i now work with school and intl office i normally dont respond to this type of questions and i know wip wont as well cause you vividly know u dont have visa for that part and still you booking your flight to go there. Even if you have not travelled before does not mean you wont know what is suppose to or not.
well a word is enough for the wise....

shyeetle: I appreciate everyone that has help one way or the other by asking questions, answering them. Following this thread is a great tool for me till date as I got my passport today with ENTRY PERMISSION. I volunteer to help anyone dat might need some help within my reach, questions are warmly welcomed. I should commend the effort of the driven force of the thread WIP7, u ve got this leadership skills and spirit to help, thank u sir.
Penroll, others my salute. Thank u sirs

you welcome and hope you make your family,country and even us to be proud. Safe trip and be safe also

The international office of Eastern Mediterranean University have a program called Freshers’ student mentorship Program(FSMP) which is designed to cater to the needs of Freshmen(incoming students) who arrive at EMU each semester. It allows Freshmen to have contact with existing students here at EMU who are part of the program and who can help answer any questions freshmen have even before their arrival on campus and also in their academics.

For more details on the program and if you which to partake in it please go to http://io.emu.edu.tr/fsmp/ or feel free to send me a mail which can be found on my signature.

Stay say and be safe when you get here and during your trip. Good luck all

Iyowuski: Thanx baba penroll....abeg in d case of denial hw soon can one reapply for d visa?

Once deny visa you have to wait for 6 months before you can reapply only if the school intervene and most of all God really want you to come here and not somewhere else.

Iyowuski: Thanx baba penroll....I applied @ GAU na. Visa stuff remain help me pray o . Thanks once again for ur response

We always want you guys to come especially the good ones that will make their parents and country proud not the ones that will make the whites and other countries that think we are bad see reason to believe so more.

Wish you luck with your visa and what ever the outcome just take it as what God wants because according to wip this ebola stuff will affect the visa alot this time.

adexsegzy: Mr Wip, I read that testimony, and its a good news for him. am still waiting to my appointment response since have sent it to the embassy on 11th of this month. Please is their any alternative and I also read about him saying something on Yellow Card, Am going for my masters at EMU, Do i need to go with the Yellow card to the embassy. Mr Wip please am i suppose to go to the embassy with a yellow card. Your response will be appreciated. Thanks

Although it is addressed to wip but to ease the stress on him cus he is a busy man making money(lol) i chose to respond. As for the yellow card i think you will only need it for your travel at Nigeria airport (from my experience they dont ask of it at Istanbul) and not embassy but to clear your mind go to turkish embassy website and get the requirements on what to come with.

zezebabyxoxo: Hi,
I would like to know the last date for payment of tuition at EMU. Also, am I to pay for one semester or a full year for visa purposes? Thanks.

Well dont know the last date for payment of fees for now and you will have to pay one year else you wont get your confirmation letter for your visa but i believe the fees written on your admission letter is for a year so pay what ever you see there and not less else you wont get your confirmation and no refund as well.

virgindesy: thanks Mr wip ..well I paid half of the tuition fee which is 1350 and am 26 going for associate degree..my age is cool but I think it may be cos of the tuition fee..have mailed the school and send the copy of the page to them..hoping to hear from them soon.thanks so much

Also try calling the school not just mail because most times they dont read their mails or even reply when they do.

Iyowuski: Baba penroll I greet....hw ar fees paid per semester or per year....hw many semestr do skus dia run per academic year. Abeg, pls rply me

Boss fees are paid per semester but if you want to pay per year or till you graduate at once no one will stop you and also you can pay installmentally(monthly) but it will be more than normal fees. They have 2 semester per academic year which is fall and spring semester but you can take summer school if you wish to graduate on time.

wip7: Congrats and wish you well...When you get to the Island try to focus on why you are here, pay more attention to develop yourself than spending time on childish or short-term groups, projects or unproductive meetings! There are lots of distractions here but when u know your onion you will know how to select! help me bring alomo bitter when you are coming !!! (kidding as usual!)

Oga wip, nice advice but the truth is that they will act like they listen to the advice and after a month in the island they change automatically....at times i wonder if there is a spirit abroad changing them but on a second thought i was not changed so no spirit lol.

wip7: You TRNC goverment they pay you but me my reward comes from God.....how about that?

lol....boss that their money na change na and also it takes time to come ooo....anyhow sha, one of this days i go show your house make i enjoy your wife food small....

3. your name or names as written on your intl passport
5. Put nothing here
7. The city and country you were born.
13. here tick ordinary passport
21. Tick transit
22. Tick single entry
23. Write few days
27. Tick other and write for studies.
28. Date you will get TO Cyprus(you can access how long will take from Nigeria to Cyprus via online flight booking).

Items to Pack for a Safe, Productive Stay Abroad

Studying abroad (especially in the United States) can be the most exciting time of your life, but if you're not prepared, it can also be the most frightening. Consult the following instructions for packing for your study abroad.
Packing for your Trip
1. Before you begin packing, contact your airline of choice for their applicable luggage weight and security restrictions. Follow instructions carefully or you could find yourself surrendering items to security agents at the airport or paying costly fees for overweight baggage.
Try to keep luggage to a minimum. Write a list of things that you will need for day-to-day comfort, and then begin marking off those items that you can buy once you arrive. Small electronic items such as alarm clocks, irons, and hairdryers can be purchased rather inexpensively in stores. Toward the end of your stay, you can offer these items to incoming foreign students. If you are already communicating with your college roommate, ask them what they are bringing. You might be able to share certain items to cut down on the number of things each of you have to bring and/or purchase.
In terms of larger electronics, bring a laptop computer, digital camera, and mobile phone if you can. The more information that you store digitally, the better, since doing so will cut down on baggage and decrease the risk of losing information. Secure traveler's insurance on these expensive items before leaving home.
Ask your international student advisor about electrical conversion, since a country electrical outlets may differ from other countries. You may need to purchase cord adaptors or outlet converters upon your arrival.
Clothing is another item that you will want to limit. College students abroad (especially in the United States) are, in large part, very casual in their style of dress. Depending on the weather (which can vary significantly from region to region, so be sure to check before leaving home), jeans and T-shirts are standard attire. Bring several changes of undergarments and socks.
Clothing stores range from quite pricey to very inexpensive, and you can easily find a store that meets your needs. Seasonal items such as gloves, scarves, and rain boots are also very reasonably priced items abroad.
If possible, send some items before leaving home. This will not only cut down on the amount of luggage you'll be carrying, but it will also be a great opportunity to teach your family members and friends how to send things to you should the need or desire arise.

Smart Travel is Safe Travel
Before zipping up your suitcase, make a detailed list of everything you've packed (and in which suitcases) and keep that list in your personal carry-on bag. Include your passport number, credit card numbers, and emergency contacts in case your luggage is lost or delayed. Mark all bags with your contact address and both your host- and home-country phone numbers.
It is wise to use an under-clothing holder for your identification, cash, and vital paperwork. These holders are thin and discreet, keeping your most important items closest to your body.
Wear a wristwatch set to the appropriate time, and use either your mobile phone or a battery-operated alarm clock to regulate your schedule. Getting used to the time difference will help you to establish quick patterns and get comfortable with your new surroundings.

Student Visa Interview Tips for Success

Because the process of issuing a student visa is something that the country government takes very seriously, it is easy to become intimidated by the security precautions and blunt questions. Don't let the word "interview" scare you away, though: You have already completed the hard part of the visa process by gathering and submitting the necessary paperwork. After you've made your visa interview appointment, follow these tips to ensure that the rest of the process goes smoothly.
Get to the consular's office a few minutes early. Though you may have spent weeks or months gathering the required visa documentation, your actual interview should take no longer than a few minutes. Therefore, you'll want to arrive at the consular's office with a few minutes to spare in case the interviewer is running ahead of schedule.
Bring only necessary items to the interview. Since it is likely that you will be ushered through a security checkpoint or metal-detecting device upon your arrival at the consular office, make sure that you are not carrying prohibited items such as office bags or briefcases, electronic items, mobile phones, or cigarettes, all of which can trigger alerts.
Be ready to be fingerprinted(especially for U.S embassy). Those receiving a student visa must submit to electronic fingerprinting(especially for U.S embassy), which is usually done at the interview site.
Be familiar with the most commonly asked questions. As discussed, the visa interview can be somewhat stressful, but only if you are not prepared for it. Once your name is called, you will be directed to the interviewer's office, where he or she will ask you questions about the time you intend to spend in the country. None of these questions are meant to trick you or deter you from entering the country. Consider the following frequently asked student visa interview questions:
1. Why do you want to travel to the country?
2. Who is sponsoring you?
3. What is your annual income?
4. Do you have a credit card?
5. How many children do you have? Where are they?
6. Do you know anyone in the said country?
7. How long will you be staying in the country?
8. Do you plan to work during your time in the country?
9. How can you assure that you will return to your home country?

There might be more to it but consider this the most frequently ask ones.
All of these questions are intended to determine your purpose in visiting the country and the extent to which you are supported by family, your home country, or another entity. As long as you're relaxed and honest, the interview will be over in no time and you'll be well on your way to start your education.

wip7: All kindly be careful...dont always click anyway link if you do not initiate such....i have to post this..I use Gmail service but the sender is from yahoo..(even most times the scammers are not so smart)...i receive over 50 of similar from this Hamidu person.

Boss i received this type without count, at times i wonder how they reason with so much awareness now thinking someone will fall for this nonsense.Now they even go as far as trying to scam through skype knowing fully well skype is a video call application of which a reasonable someone must surely demand for video.
Most times when i receive it i usually reply them with a very structured polite insult....lol

WISH YOU ALL A SAFE TRIP AND SUCCESS WITH YOUR VISAS....

Ilodigweudoka: which one is "NIGERIANS"? my friend grow up there. if you are not mentally lazy then i see no reason you should withold usefull tips from the top off your brains to render help to people. as an academia or wise below forty as you claim you should atleast refer people to the particular or specific pages to get answers for there question. else stay off the page totally and allow it loose front page on this forum.if thats what all of you want. for me i know where i get my replies from and the source has never failed me the person knows himself. i can stiil swear that most of you especially worry359 where more naive, undermatured, totally clueless from there left to there right about this whole process before now.
prospective students i advice lets keep this thread alive till we achieve our aim. never be demoralize or whatsoever. watever is confusing bring it on, willing people with invincible mental strenght will never relent to refer or offer help, that i know. "one individual helped; is a less of so many confused fellow on this thread. with time february wil come we will all let you rest and render help to intending students while already there. hope to see you all soon.

Thanks,not hear to start exchanging words or insults with you but to say i wish you well.

Princessmirex: thank you very much sum ppl ova there dat has gone back den dey asked silly questions but now they are now in the skull wen odas asked dey wld be behavin as if they re perfect and know it all ,besides dey re nt askin dem ,dey re askin sir wip ,so i see no reason y u wnt hav ansas 2 sum1s question den u start tellin d person dat he/she ask sillly questions all the time.please if you know you wnt hav ansas just dunt comment .thanks nd lets be one plx

I never wanted to comment cause most people said i am harsh....yes you all are right when u said others asked questions before coming here but try and check their questions if its same to the ones people asked now.

Let the truth be said,Nigerians especially want people to work for them and dont want to stress their self and they complain agents charge them much and so on. If only new incoming students will take their time and go through the trend i believe most of their questions would have been answered here.

I dont comment any longer just like wip do also cause if you go back maybe 3years you will see most people saying he is harsh and so on,just as most of you are saying worry and others are harsh or not giving room for others to ask.

Lets make an example,wip has answered questions relating to sponsor and visa issues and i myself have done so as well even whet as far to tell how to fill the visa application form but i see people are still asking that and more will still ask same questions cause they felt going through the trend is waste of time when they can ask others to do the work for them.

Well,just my opinion and wish all new incoming students try and read through the trend before asking questions.

Gsluv: Pls guys in North Cyprus, is it cheaper getting a smart phone (phablet) over there or I should just buy from Nigeria before leaving? Would appreciate a reply..

The truth be said,things are cheaper here if you working else its expensive in the sense that their currency is higher than naira,so it like you buying times the amount you suppose to get it in naira. Since you still back home,my candid advice is to get what ever you need(in fact all even if you will pay for excess luggage) cause here is not like entering car from school back home when broke or need something in few months.

Another advice to all incoming students,come with enough thick jackets cause its very cold here and those things not that cheap to get here as well.

Ilodigweudoka: what do you expect them to tell you? get it here or dont worry when you get to TRNC you buy. well from my little experience as a result to exposure has taught me that when ever you travel outta your place of comfort most especially where you earn to where you almost entirely spend everytime without returning any kobo through any means, the said individual tends to feel and see everything he spends on as been very expensive. so, of course you know every penny will be of great value to you as you will in turn develop less interest in your needed but unnecessary items no matter how stern you budget for it before getting to that place. cos you will be so minded with the first things first which i know their are. for i know those over there buy their stuffs at TRNC cos they are used to the system or better still the ones doing fine dont even care or still do the currency conversion at every stuff they spend their money on. so my advice is get your things while you are still at your place of comfort.
