Yvete: You better believe! Yvete: Necessary precaution but not sufficient. Just know you're not completely anonymous anywhere on the internet (same applies to others on here including me). It will amaze you to know that anybody with some basic low-tech recon skills can find out who you truly are ... and easily too |

Adolite: The schools I mentioned have the same amount as tuition from 12 - 18 credits. As regards the cold, they will adapt. If you did, so would they! |

An interesting trend I have observed lately is people "suddenly" realizing they couldn't afford their tuition & fees immediately after obtaining their visas. I really wonder if they intentional avoid to lookup the fees at the time of application or maybe the fees weren't published at the time. I think people should cut their coat according to their cloth. There's no need applying to a school you cannot afford except you are hoping to get some scholarship/assistantship (assuming you are extremely qualified). Even at that, always have a Plan B because funding is not usually guaranteed. Proper planning prior to leaving Nigeria is key to your survival here in the US. There are a number of good and affordable Universities in the US. Do your research! In my time, I realized it was even possible to get automatic in-state tuition even as an international student! For example, if you can withstand the cold in Minnesota, I can confidently tell you it's one of the most affordable states to study in the US. Minnesota State University Moorhead, Minnesota State University Mankato and St. Cloud University all offer in-state tuition for international students. This means you could be paying less than $4000 for a 12-18 credit semester! Please do your research carefully so you don't end up being frustrated in the US. Like I said earlier, proper planning is key to your survival here. |

chuquiz: Dude, I hope say you hold better cash well with that choice wey you wan make so! But seriously, California State University system have very high tuition/fees with little or no assistantship opportunities for incoming international students. I perceive you're trying to avoid taking the GRE so you're only searching for schools that don't require it. I strongly advise you to take the exam!! Trust me, you will have better options with a good score. Plus it will help your visa interview. In this US, you can get high quality education for $0 (actually you can even get paid to study here) if only you can make some initial sacrifices and do your homework well. If you are comfortable spending 35-40k a year on an MA/MS degree, by all means ignore my rant. 4 Likes |

Mamacita007: Those of you with GA - Did you get the GA at the time of admission or afterwards? My school offers GA, but they won't allow anyone to apply until they accept you to the program. I just applied today. Should I wait till the GA decision is made before i schedule an appointment at the embassy? Because right now I don't have it. And what if the GA decision turns out unfavorable? My dear, forget about waiting and go ahead to schedule your interview. When you get the GA you can request for a new I-20 if you still got time before your interview. 1 Like |
