@akagson
Also, university education in America is not necessarily harder than that in Naija -- it is just much more structured. I believe that an average student in Naija can do very well in an American university if he/she is motivated. American schools reward students who can comprehend information and/or think creatively, unlike Naija schools which reward cramming. An average Naija student can become an excellent student in America if he/she truly knows how to comprehend (not cram).

Most American professors (unlike Naija ones) want to help you understand, not fail. For instance, through my years in undergrad and grad school, I never once heard a professor tell me and my classmates to read the whole textbook for an exam. They usually tell you what to focus on, because their goal is to help you prioritize the most important things to understand. This is not to say exams aren't difficult -- they often are -- but then you would be positioned to do extremely well if you are a motivated student. American professors give lots of time-consuming homework, but if you spend time on these then you likely will comprehend most of the course material by the end of the term. The fire brigade approach doesn't always work well in America because comprehension, not cramming, is rewarded.

Don't be so down on yourself based on your uni experience as an engineering student in a Naija uni. If you did engineering in a school in the US, you might actually love it and become one of the best students in your class.

I am currently an engineer, and did all my university education in the US. Best of luck.

Hello house,

If you are coming to USA on F-1 and hoping to work here after school... You may want to read the article in the following link before you decide. If you have 17 months OPT extension, you want to do the same.

@akagson Your chances of staying in the US exponentially increase if you study any course that is physical sciences or engineering related. This is because there is a higher demand than supply for such jobs, therefore it is wayyyy easier for the employer to convince the US government to issue you a work visa. Nothing is ever guaranteed though, so I like your strategy of contingency plans.

@coobboy visa is two years but that's not what matters. What matters is the expiry date on your I-20. You can legally stay in the US on an expired student visa if your I-20 is still valid. In the same vein, you are illegal if your I-20 stops being valid even if your visa is still valid.

FYI, I did my undergrad and post-grad in the US.

Okay, i knew that. I just corrected him, thats all.
