Accommodation shouldn't be a challenge.
Get admission first,try use LinkedIn to search for people in your school especially Nigerians. Your settling down would be super easy

Thanks sofadj,
I'll get in touch once I'm through with the Visa stuff. Really appreciate your response.

Accommodation is not so much of a big deal. Most Nigerians do not stay in school apartments, you can always get a place off-campus.
Your school should provide means of offcampus apartment, but even if they don't, you can get pple to find for you.

Get admission and VISA first then start worrying about where to stay.
I currently stay in Bowie and may be able to help when you get to that stage.
PS: Bowie State University has plenty blacks and Nigerians. You should be fine. Bowie is a relatively cheap city too.

Hello guys/ladies,
I'm quite new on this forum and would need some help. Im currently in the middle of an admission process for a Spring 2017 graduate program at Bowie State University in Maryland. My main challenge now is accommodation. I heard accommodation on campus is very expensive and one won't be allowed to stay there when the school is on break. I would appreciate any assistance / advise. I've never been out of Nigeria before.
PS. I'm a married woman with children, though they won't be coming with me.

Thanks
