@Sithanda
Your posts are meaningful. But could u throw light on the likely monthly cost of living in Cyprus off campus?

The best package guys are running regards accommodation is you getting a 3bedroom flat for like 400euros per month whereby 3 of u pick d rooms each or 6 as the case may be n u pay ur bills collectively, transportation round the town is free everyday 4 CIU students, feeding is a function of your consumption but the best is for you to stock your house with about 50euros per month I guess then all you have left is your water bills n electricity bills.

@ Sithanda,

How are you finding CIU; in terms of infrastructure and environment? is it compulsory for freshmen to stay in the dorms?

Why are you thinking of leaving?

@Chinois as per infrastructure am not the happening type so I haven't gone out of Lefkosa eversince, but some guys I met on the Island argued that Abuja is more beautiful than the whole of Cyprus
I haven't actually decided that I was gonna leave my man, I have a family man in France and he's throwing me an invitation and you know I've gat free accommodation, meals n other freebies and you know what that means but maybe I'll just go for summers n come back cox Lefkosa is damn boring u keep ur self busy with ur laptop

Pls do u hv any idea on the population of students in ciu. And from ur experience, Hw will u rate d standard of their teaching

General population; I gat no idea but as 4 naija community u will surely av naija guys. Regards the standard of teaching is okay n student friendly but they aint good in teaching English from my own experience so I'd never advise anyone to come for anything related to language studies

@Sithanda it could be boring maybe because as you rightly said you are not the happening type. Have you visisted clubs/pubs. You have any new friends yet? Atleast a girlfriend? Go to gym? Use the basketball court or stuffs that are easy to access in the Uni? Go to the beach?

we dont have clubs in Lefkosa but my friend do go clubbing at Girne Saturday evenings n u gat a free bus to Girne by 7pm and back home by 1am n u can stay all nite there if u wish cox its a nice place but if you're schooling in Magusa there are clubs n beaches around there. Turkish/Cypriot gals are naive u hardly find a gal amongst them from my own experience though I know of 2guys who have them as galfriends, but you can have a gal from other countries like I do

Oh! Cool where is your gf from? I'll be in Famagusta what have you heard about the place? So its easier to hangout with foreigners than Cypriots & Turks? OR you think its language barer because I'm actually interested in learning Turk 200miillion people speak it. Though my number one is Espanol with 500m people.

any question regards F.Magusta should be directed to oga wip4 or if u find Yemming cox am not used to the place. My gal is from Abkazia close to Russia.

@ Sithanda,

Could you please explain the process of authenticating the documents at the Ministry of Education in Abuja? What do I need to take with me for certifying both my O level and Bachelors degree certificates?

Thanks

For O levels u need a scratch card be it neco waec, n d original result then when u get there, they'll check it then u pay to the bank maybe 600naira per cert but as per d Bsc I have no info

_{just passing bye}

@SITHANDA, Thanks for the C.A.Letter stuff brov. I appreciate. Concernin the legalisation of result, my Waec certificate is not yet out, i confirmed dat from my old school and went personally to the waec office. I have the statement of result plus my waec printout with me. Can this be legalised or what other thing can i do, WIP4, SITHANDA and all the island gurus or pals that fell a victim of this once, Please, advice me on what to do. Tnx.

@ABDULAHI,
Sorry about your transcript brov. Maybe God wants you to go for EMU instead. Its a good choice with alot of opportunities. I would have applied to EMU myself assuming i could afford d tuition. 4100euros tuition per semester (apart 4rm livin expenses) no easy especially for us dat our parents aint so rich.

@ temmym3,

Please may i ask you which university is 4100euros? if you are talking about EMU please EMU fees is 1650USd pa semester for 50% scholarship recipient, kindly Check our university and read well. www.emu.edu.tr

@Yemming, why I no go look ur side, u be my man nah the main things is that am very busy for now. I have a lot of tests and exams this month

@Abdul, if you dont mind sending me a mail with the details of the transcript, we will surely sort it out cox of recent there was a change of official at the International office maybe that could have accounted for the 'missing transcript'

@Temmym3, all you need is the school statement of result and a result checking scratch card

Ok sithanda, wats ur email. I will send the details to u asap

Sithanda, i hv mailed u
