Dfavouredone:True! But i guess having some sort of comfort after arrivals can pull her through! Then this news is still a proposal right? What if it doesn't get to the final bustop? |

If i was your cousin. I will cry.personally i wont even eat this week... Even reading your post i started sobbing too. Well since she has a family in UK,i think moneywise she is ok.but wats the point of sch? Learning and also learning independence(financial independence). Best bet for her is either she encourages herself to continue or ask for a refund. And chances that the proposal will be a law is 99%(in my own opinion) except the schools,stakeholders,biz guys campaign against it VIGOROUSLY about the negative effects then it might be put on probation. Goodluck to your cousin [quote author= @OluwaChinenyenwa I 1 Like |

Mekurexx:Awwww Thanks very much!! Don't cry jare, its all good. Going to another country is out of line I really hope the stakeholders and to all "to whom" it may concern don't agree to this, very unfair i must say!! But fingers crossed and hopes high, i really hope for her sake and for other peeps in same situation, this proposal gets revoked, wishful thinkings!! |

OluwaChinenyenwa: I think its going to be effective as from April 2016 I don't know if it has been passed.but they will suffer at the end cuz students won't come again 1 Like |

OluwaChinenyenwa: The only current adverse effect this rule will have on her is that she won't be able to work part time legally. If she has full support from family, then that wouldn't be a problem. For staying back after school, it is still the same thing. Except you'll have to apply in your home country for Tier 2. Normally, when you get a job with sponsorship, you apply in the Uk. If this is implemented, she just have to come back and apply from Nigeria. I see no way that would be a problem for her |

spikesC:She needs some other form of sustaining herself na, the minimum wage she'd be paid will go a long way for her, Naija is hard now o!! Wait, can you apply for a job in the U.K after graduation? And just come back to Nigeria and apply for the work Visa? Getting a sponsor in the U.K is quite hard, more or less seeking for a job from a different country!! 1 Like |

Education in Singapore is competitve plus their country is really cool. Well depends on the course. Im going for occupation health&safety/ environmental health &safety.and the curriculum sef is really engaging. Just have a good look at the Uni website yourself crazydove: |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 12:21am On Jul 13, 2015 |
Mekurexx: Alright will do just that |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by spikesC(m): 12:23am On Jul 13, 2015 |
OluwaChinenyenwa: That's the only problem. Hopefully, that part would be scraped. Whether you apply for Tier 2 visa in the Uk or Nigeria still depends on you getting the job first. If she doesn't get a job before her visa expires, then it still doesn't matter. If she gets a job and collects her sponsorship letter, she would travel back home and apply. It's just that simple |

OluwaChinenyenwa: Far too young to gamble that money and go through the stress of working to survive in the UK. With degree from the UK trying to stay back through any family member will be a tough one. If this is the case of study then return back to Nigeria then no problem. Will the UK immigration law get 'friendlier' in the future? I wouldn't put my money on that. 3 Likes |

OluwaChinenyenwa: If your cousin really wants to study in the UK in the light of its hostile immigration policies, then let her come. If I were in her shoes, I will come in and study hard to get a very high CGPA, I will then use this to apply for a fully-funded postgraduate course in Canada or America during my penultimate year. There is nothing stopping her from applying for a PhD scholarship in Canada, America, or Australia whilst studying for a first degree in the UK, it all requires intricate planning. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by scoobs: 7:54am On Jul 13, 2015 |
Why didn't they just make this public earlier this year?? They know quite a number would have applied for visas already. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by Nobody: 12:11pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
OluwaChinenyenwa: This law will affect her. She's 19 going for a 4year course. Ib terms of funding for those 4years is it tucked away somewhere where it can not be used for other stuff? Even if she has school funds confirmed what about living expenses, clothing , travel, food , accommodation, will you her family be responsible for 'her pocket money' Cmon lets be real here. A job ? That's still requires her to finish the course first and you ask why she's crying. I think she's more in tune with the realities than you are. Or she may have had a unrealistic expectation of what extra income she could make from parttime work anyways. With undergrad studies she may not have enough time to work much anyways asides from holidays. By the way not being allowed to work may also cover things such as internships and year-in-industry opportunities as well which also narrows her work opportunities. Her best motivation would be assurance family that you will cover her needs throughout the 4yrs. I honestly think she should reconsider. It would have been better if she had a scholarship or if this was just a postgrad degree. Even other European countries should be considered like Germany, fees are less and work opportunities post school better. And she's just an Easyjet trip away from you I know what the exchange rate in the last 6months has done for those still studying in the UK. Some maybe kicked out of school. 3 Likes |

milychocs: The proposal would be thrown out. That woman won't get her way. By the time the universities and the finance minister/education minister come with the figures of the billions international students pay and how countries who tried this nonsense have lost out then they would think twice. Let us wait and see. They would be looking at the wrong people to put blame on. Rubbish!!! |
