Be optimistic and look forward. If you abandon the project/prospect because of the one month hardship, you will always look back and blame yourself for not trying enough. Beside, what will you tell our children that prevented you from giving them a better life in the future? At 23, you can take risks, life is about risk taking bro. Good luck!!

Who told you that you need $2000 to survive for the first month ??
Have you ever heard of Chinese buffet ?? Price rite ??
Wetin you wan chop ??
A loaf of bread is 99 cent

Food is the cheapest thing you can buy in America.

You need no health insurance.

Again, where this country called Nigeria is headed to, you better get the fucck out.

Welcome to the land of opportunities.
Even if you graduate, you will still stay here for a long time before you start thinking of going back

megaik:
Pls tell me how you got admission with stipend .... then we can discuss further strongly. I may help you.

Great question.
Another question I'd like to add is what website or organisation promised that stipend and tuition-free education in the US for an international student?
Many things may sound rosy until one gets under the heat. Lets hope OP is on the right path.

CProf:
Good day nairalanders,
I need your advice and help on what to do because I am totally confused.
I am 23, holds a Bsc from a Nigerian university.
I recently got into a masters program in the US with full tuition waiver and a generous monthly stipend that would cater for my living expenses. I already have my particulars to apply for my F1 student visa but I'm scared because of the uncertainty that lies ahead; also the exchange rate is not helping matters
I am sure I would get the visa but as I'm talking, I only have 100k left on me because I spent a lot during the application processes.
I can huzzle and get my flight fee because I still have 2 months to resumption.
Now, my headache is that I would still need up to $2000(roughly #700,000) to survive for the first month, pay health insurance and other small fees before I start receiving my monthly stipend of $1500.
School resumes August 14, what should I do?
Tried taking up loan from the bank but didn't work out.
I am confused at the moment.
Should I go ahead and get the flight fee, get to US with almost no amount except God provides an helper?
Or should I just forget about my America dream
I have exhausted all my options, God help me.
Please advice a brother.

N.B
My parents are old pensioners that only God knows when the government would answer them.

I am at a crucial point in my life.
Thanks

Which State and City? Did you get free dorm as well? If yes, you do not need even $100 to survive in a month if you are determined. Otherwise, the only issue will be rent. I still have suggestions for you. In any case, come to America. You will not regret it.

Re: Should I Go To America Or Forget About It? by Godsate: 6:17pm On Jun 09, 2016

God that help you to this level will surely perfect His work. Just countinue. Once you are a child of God. God will surely provide help. God may have even position a helper already waiting for you in US. Proceed and be positive minded in God. He will surely help.

America is the only and best country in the whole wide world, other countries are just local governments

The $1,500 you're talking about is financial aid you get from your school every semester, it's a free money.
You can get up to $14,000 every year just for going to school. Nobody go ask you to pay it back

Since you can hussle for all this funds,i see no reason to leave this country. Think! America is not what you think oo but if want to see for yourself go for it since you are going there to acquire more knowledge

Re: Should I Go To America Or Forget About It? by sleek82(m): 6:23pm On Jun 09, 2016

My friend i see only one option here and just one....which is to take your chances, since staying back wont guaranty anything either why not just give going to the states a try... I understand all you said about hustling but you still need to give it a try....lemme share my experience with you, maybe that would motivate you a lil
When i got my PR visa in December 2014...i had all i needed to travel since my brother were willing to support me but i had to think deeply if to get married and file for my wife or just travel and then come back after i have really settled down in Canada( this could take between 1 to 2 years or more) because i can only cater for myself alone....after much thoughts, i decided to face life head-on...i got married (registry) and in 3months got my wife's visa too....usually a single PR( permanent resident) applicant should travel with 11k canadian dollars and two would be about 15k dollars but all i had was just 5k US dollars for the two of us and the money for ticket is still there ooo....just one day i told myself i am leaving naija....i dont care whatever happens at the border( becos not having enough for the two of us is enough reason to send us back to naija) i bought our tickets (looked for the cheapest "maroc airline") and came through one of the tightest security airports in canada (Montreal) but i made sure i got loans from people to put in my naija account and had my ATM card with me just incase they ask at the airport for the remaining money.....i declared the correct amount i had on me (5k US dollars) and they just asked if we had where to stay and we said "yes" and that was it.
Not that everything is now very easy but i can say i save myself a good two years of waste because if i had come here without her, it would have been more time wasting!
So please just give the best try and God will do the rest for you. The main problem is already solved and that is your tuition....please proceed!
