Good afternoon guys, please am about to book my flight with Qatar airways because it's the cheapest I got to Florida. My question is : how advisable is it to use Qatar airways considering the recent news about some issues concerning international flight disruptions in Qatar.

Cc: Lagosismyhome, walspring, texrem, femi321 ET al

There are some tension but how tomorrow will turn out or how it will escalate i cannot predict ....

you don't have to fly directly to Florida. you can fly to any other city and then go to florida... yes it would be more stressful but only for one day or two but at least your mind is at easy that a day to your flight u won't hear Qatar flights are grounded or some long story .

Sir, am going to Miami, Florida. Won't I encounter problems at POE if I use flights going to JFK. Because immigration officials might raise eyebrows considering the fact that there is an international airport at Miami.

nope ...... no problem with this. where is the rule that states you have to use Miami airport. its absolutely fine, you can print out your connecting flight , bus to show at POE if asked , if that makes you feel more comfortable

No! To be on a safe side, hold your connecting flight ticket or bus ticket in case of they ask. I flew to Newyork then and my final destination was Charlotte which is on the same axis as Florida. You wont have any problem except you carry cocaine though

Lagos to Washington Dulles is the cheapest route for now. You can check Maroc and compare the price with that of Miami.

Take the GRE, score as high as you can. Apply to decent schools. I could suggest some, based on your GRE score. Plan to pay for your tuition for the MSc. Find out what industry employers look for. Prep your CV for summer internships, while you study.

All the best!

Hello my great E family!!!!!!!!! am really happy to be part of you guys!

I have some concerns which I will like to share with my noble family. I applied for student visa to Canada this year Jan but was denied though they stated I can re apply, but what pained me so much was that my company wanted to sponsor it.

That's by the way, I had plans to to see a gynea for medical investigation if i have gotten my Canadian visa but since they denied me I have made up my mind to apply to USA on medical grounds.

I have also applied for a pleasure (vacation) visit last year to USA but was also denied. am confused as I don't know if I will also be denied if I applied on medical grounds.

PLEASE my great family I need your advice as in what to do and how to go about it.

Calm down Bro..

Book to JFK then book a cheaper flight to Miami.
Use the change and buy New Sim grin
Finito...
CBPs know how this things work , thousands of students run this same route.
JFK to MIA is like $120...you can even book ahead...

About TOEFL


I will encourage every applicant to write toefl because most schools use it as a basis for awarding teaching assistantship. In my own case, I didn't write Toefl because I turned in my applications late and money factor too. Things didn't pan out the way I wanted. I got admitted and though the grad school waived toefl for me, my department said I was not proficient. I got half TA and I had to pay the balance of my tuition. I would have saved myself the stress of paying if I had written toefl.
When you come here, you will see that you speak better English than other non-native English speakers that Oyinbos would ask you 'do you speak English in Nigeria?'.

How about IELTS? Isnt it acceptable in place of TOEFL?

I have interest in security of smart grid systems as well as FOG networks in smart grid, I have proposed research ideas to the UofTcurrent group unfortunately they said they could not add more new student lately. So u may have to look somewhere else Like I am now bro

Thanks for the heads up sir.

They might not be recruiting new students to work on your said research, however I plan to explore other reseach areas... Large scale renewable energy integration, power electronics for smart grids, energy storage et al.

Also, I do not intend on putting all my eggs in one basket. wink

UT Knoxville is a great school just like Oludare rightly said. The engineering school is also associated with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). ORNL prides herself as the largest science and energy national laboratory in the Department of Energy system by surface and by annual budget. One of their most funded research areas is Energy Science and Nuclear Engineering. Depending on what your research interests are; you may want to go for an energy science concentration for the PhD in Electrical Engineering.

I am in my 3rd year of PhD in Industrial and Systems Engineering at UTK myself. I am researching energy systems and climate. ORNL is so big on this and would suggest you look into energy science too - that's the future. Alternatively, research on data analytics or big data and see yourself working in one of the biggest financial institutions or IT companies upon graduation. You can thank me later.

Go Vols!!
