Hello team

I have a question I'd like to ask. I got admission into de Montfort university Leicester for my master's degree and I'm about to start my visa processing. Can I use London as my place of accommodation during my visa processing as I have a relative in London I can stay with? Will it be an issue as London is about 2 hours from Leicester? Can I use it or should I just look for an accommodation in Leicester before I begin my application?

Thanks
Don't use any address outside Leicester as this is a recipe for interview. Just use the school address or you Google any AirBNb address around the school and use

Education / Re: I See Membership Of Alumni Whatsapp Groups As WASTE Of Time: Am I Wrong? by Welcomme: 12:54pm On Apr 17
Don't be too serious, fam. My secondary school year group Alumni WhatsApp group, the "accomplished" and "well-to-do" guys are the most active in the group. It is always very active at night when most people must have been back from work... This is a group we have top I.T guys, about 5 pilots (two practising in the U.S), doctors, Nurses, those into politics, military and paramilitary officers..Any field, just name it... Not everyone active in such groups is jobless and unemployed. Socialize and be open to opportunities. My first major contract was given to me by a secondary school classmates. Surprisingly, we weren't close while we were in school.

Just last year, a job ad was posted in group, I sent it to a relative, he was called for interview, immediately I reached out to the guy that sent it to the class group, immediately he asked for the name and number of my relative, he personally called my relative by himself and asked him some questions in regards to job, the interview was just like a formality because he was assured of the job

I never see husband, nah to show shege..lol.
Truth is I already paid my deposit when currency never go up, now I'm stuck with this current exchange rate.
I don't even know how to do it because my money isn't big to cover up, thinking of going for a refund but I already got my CAS.. I even wrote to the school on possibility of switching to a research, they said it's not possible except during enrolment, which I'm not still sure of.
Post I'm seeing here is giving me high BP


What's the name of your school?

Tuition fee? Payment plan? City that the school is? All these will inform the advise I can give you at this point.

Which type of room? You should let them know that a shared appartment is far cheaper.
Make una no de use style scare people away from this japa.
Definitely, it is only a shared apartment you can get for that amount in London. You can't even get a studio or one bed for that price in London.

Time for Mr Akor to cash out. He will deceive his gullible corps men to pay more money. A bill that Tinubu will throw to the dustbin once it gets to him. Peace corp is another duplication of office.What will they do different? Police and Civil Defence should be strengthened not to be creating another one again.

Education / Re: Brain Drain Of Teachers In Private Schools: What's The Way Forward? by Welcomme: 11:53am On Feb 22
No serious and ambitious youth should remain in any private school receiving 30k as salary. These private schools are exploiters and the proprietors are proper manipulators. Doing POS or roasting corn by the road side is better. Very stressful job. You can remain in one position for 20 years.

Travel / Re: Express Train Services To Cmmence On Kano-Lagos Narrow Gauge Soon – NRC by Welcomme: 7:56am On Jan 31
Express rail service ke? Trust me, you can't spend less than one week if your destination is Kano to Lagos. From one breakdown to another. If it's not mechanical breakdown at mokwa, it will be electrical breakdown at kutiwenji. I used to be an active passenger. The last time I vowed not to take this train again was when I spent over a week from KD to Osogbo. It can be adventurous sometimes but time wasting. I remembered when our train spoilt at Minna, I had a serious coitus play on an abandoned train with one of their staff at Minna...I met more than 5 other people on the train that night doing same thing. Come hear different kind of sound tracks...

I had a close friend that had intentions to japa to the US with his wife and 3 kids. I offered to host him alone at my house for up too 6 months to settle down, get a car, apartment and then bring his family to join him. Apparently, wifey didn’t like the idea and she insisted on coming together as a family. To cut the story short, he came to the US Dec 15th, 2023 without informing me, he only reach out to me after his funds ran out Dec 23rd. No money, no where to go and no one will receive a family of 5. After spending close to N10m in a matter of weeks including cost of ticket , he decided to go back to Nigeria. As we speak now, he’s back to Nigeria. He learnt a very serious lesson. Japa required ALOT OF PPANNING, YOU CANNOT WING IT.

No matter what you say alot of people won’t listen. Imagine a family of 4 on student visa looking for 1 room to rent . Wetin musa no go see for gate
You and I know the story of this person returning to Nigeria after month is a lie. Person get student visa to U.S, come voluntarily return back to Nigeria 😀😀😀..Same U.S that accommodate many illegals and overstayers, na him person wet legal go come return... Baba, na lamba be the post wey you copy jor. If it were to be UK, I can still believe this story but U.S, mba..

But truth be told, I can't just imagine people bringing kids on a student visa. It is a bit risky.

See flexible payment plan.. My God. embarassed
How much is the total fee?
Same with hull. Someone I know hasn't paid anything since they arrived from Nigeria and they are still breathing fresh air.

University of Edinburgh same thing.


Each night I cry my eyes out. Why did I chose this school for God's sake
I actually paid 4500 from naira with black market then another 4000 here with black market.
Chai which amounts to over 13 million naira
Bro, you have tried. Ignore all those guys yarning dust up there. If you were in my school, you would have finished paying your tuition fee. It's insensitive of them to change the agreed payment
plan. I saw a guy from your school on twitter lamenting too.

I regretted everything I am telling you. The pressure is not here.. Thanks Your God u rejected them.

How many payment plan did your school gave you
Aside from the deposit I paid from Nigeria, I haven't paid anything here. I have £6k balance to pay. We are to pay 2500 by February, then another £2.5k by June then 1k by August. I plan to pay them 4k by this February so I can't be left with 2k...

I applied to more than 10 uni. Almost all gave me admission. I had to weigh my options considering school fees and payment plan.

Very useless school not even top rated.

I am crying honestly
I got admission to the school (London campus) but it was too expensive for me even though I was given the course I wanted Thank God, I gave myself brain and went for Ulster. At least no much pressure with their payment plan and they have kept to their payment plan promise.

Actually, it is somewhat difficult now. You see that Birmingham in England which is the Indian and Arab mini country, I won't advice my enemy to go there. Though some persons might be lucky but getting a student job there now eh?....

Please no one should have working for 20 hours to pay school fees in mind. Don't o! You might have high blood pressure due to worries.
Pay all of your fees before coming then the 20 hours can suffice for rent and groceries.

As per your attached image, school and hospital cleaners requires DBS. They even do interview sef😂😂😂 there is also training required if you are going to be measuring and mixing chemical cleaning agents. You have to be certified.

Overrated UK! Like someone said, if he sees who would return all his money spent on this UK Journey, he will go back home that same day.

Unfortunately, most Nigerian students coming in this January are relying on that 20hrs to feed, clothes, housing, utilities and still pay school fees... 😀😀😀😀😀😀 20 hrs job that they might not even get until Maybe after 3 to 4 months.

Accommodation I never said free. It adds pressure to available spaces for citizens to rent.
Do you know what it means for your child to get on two buses to get to school?
Most students end up not using the NHS.. And it's not refundable

Let me tell you thing for free about the UK.it cost more for the students to bring thier dependants than the cost of school fees.reason
Free healthcare
They seem accommodation from govt
They congest public service bus,trains etc
School places for kids are hard to get ur kid might take two buses to get to.school.
Some student brought up to 12 family members.indians are the major culprits.
The UK has already made its calculation.the Universities are self funded and not from government..
I do not agree with on free healthcare. Even a year old dependant pays £1000 as IHS fee. Accommodation from government? How? Student or their dependants don't have access to public funds
