This is a clear case of " o yea with brain and ears, heed to warnings".

Firstly, everything said about how shitty northern cyprus is , is true.

2ndly, do not ever convert money earned in a foreign country to Nigerian money and calculating that the money is alot because you will not be spending that money in Nigeria you will be spending the money in that foreign country. Now whats the value of the 50tl a day you will get as wages that is if the boss decides to pay you- it will buy u food and utility bill if you can manage money but nothing more. If you decide to stay hungry and save for rent then you will convert to dollars, pounds or euros which renders the money completely useless. Also bear in mind that your boss can decide not to pay you and there is nothing you can do about it after breaking your back 12 hrs a day for the whole month.

3rdly, the agents are complete rip offs. They are to be stoned to death. On each student an agent brings, he gets 10-15% of the students' total tuition paid and also gets more commission if the student stays in school accommodation.
This agents paint northern cyprus as the holy grail but it is absolutely far from that. It has turned to a place where African brothers are enslaved and African sisters turned to prostitutes selling their body for less than 500 naira all because these agents painted them a wrong picture and they have to survive.

4thly, tuition might be cheap but living expense will f**k you up. The cheap tuition promoted is to lure students in then all you do is just keep spending and spending until you are sucked dry and no where to turn.

If you are coming in as an undergraduate student MAKE SURE you have a source of income outside northern cyprus e.g parents and as for Masters student DO NOT COME TO NORTHERN CYPRUS. Reason is that as a masters student you have classes in the evenings which automatically means you are expected to work during the day i.e work that will add to your professional portfolio not bricklayering or killing and cleaning chickens but it is 99.5% NOT POSSIBLE in northern cyprus. Hence when you are done you are on the same level as an undergraduate who knows nothing and your masters turns to a waste of time, effort and money.
My advice is rather than going to northern cyprus go to an EU country e.g southern cyprus, spain, germany e.t.c. Tuition is approximately the same thing as northern cyprus universities, language barrier is a reality but better opportunity and a system that favors foreigners.

PARENTS pls keep your children out of northern cyprus. ' A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE'
