Alright. I guess this is clear enough for the concerned parties.

So many of these people sounding notes of caution are living in UK illegally. Trust me..

Spot on. I couldn't agree more my friend.

You don't sound like someone who is doing PhD, PhD student should talk with measures, caution, facts and not careless generasation

Are you not the same person here?

ndidibabe:
Una too dey back propaganda. There won't be any war. It's all politics and show of power at play..Russia only want the borders which they will definitely get. There won't be any retaliation except sanctions by the EU and allies.

Can you please end this argument about UK good or bad.
I believe this thread is for people who have at least make decisions to leave,let's focus on that.

ensamy:

No, you are still being negative, I was thinking you can atleast mention quality education if nothing else for sure.

You totally refused to be open minded about this issue, don't always think that people are discouraging you, read inbetween lines.

Come to the UK if you can afford it but lower your expectations, if you come and surpassed your expectation then great but don't over-push it

ndidibabe:

PhD student? Highly doubtful.
If you have any decorum in you, any at all, you won’t make such a stupid statement. Home Secretary please tell us the people living in the UK legally.

Anyone with a link of who can help with the prove of fund? Kindly quote me with your answer 08059290962

sammyp01:
Greetings all, please I have a question.
I did my biometrics on the 4th of April and still haven't gotten my visa. My POF is due on the Thursday 28th of April.
Question? should I go ahead to extend the POF.
Will this affect any decision by UKVI if decision haven't been made ?
Do they have the right to contact my bank to find out if the POF is still in the account if I don't extend the loan.

You should go ahead and extend your POF to be safe.

Away from the topic, isn’t it bothersome that folks who did their biometrics from 4th April haven’t received their visa? Prior to this, the average time was like 8-10 working days, now it’s literally getting past the stipulated 15 working days stated by the home office. Is there any reason for this delay?? Been asking also if anyone has gotten their visa since after Easter?

International students don't apply through UCAS. Check if the course is still open for international students.

if £22 is "whooping" then definitely UK ain't for you, check Canada or US

Guys already in the UK, I intend coming with my family (I, my spouse, my 6month old and 2 years old). I have heard of various difficulties finding accommodation as an International student in the UK.

1). What is really the problem?

2). Is there an easy way out, like giving the landlord 2 or 3months rent as deposit?

3). Those that succeeded in relocating with their families, please how did you guys do it?

Please help me out

The positive side is what motivates you and don't let what motivates blinds you to the fact that there are limitations which people like us keep reminding you guys.
I know comprehension is the problem here,a lot of you felt caution note means you shouldn't Japa.
Japa is good but not eldorado all through

Everything is not on the negative as many of you have been portraying. Every country has its own challenges for new immigrants but those challenges can be overcome.
Let me tell you my own motivation.
I was privileged to have been taught Virology by a Nigerian Professor who retired from one of the Universities in Scotland and returned back home.
He was later contracted by 3 different Federal Universities as adjunct lecturer to teach Virology.
At the age of 74, he still managed to cover these three Universities and others were also looking for his services.
They was a time we were to do Viral culture using a13 day old chick embryo but we could n't because the department could not provide to him all the necessary materials for the exercise and at the end of it we ended up just with the various theoretical aspects of virology culture. This retired Nigerian Scottish Prof kept telling us about the possibilities of getting a Scholarship that can enable one move to the Western world and acquire quality education if one cannot fund his study overseas or else we and others end up as theoritical Scientists. That because of his quality that's why even at retirement he is been sorted after by several high institutions for his services.
At my Federal University then he was the only Virologist in the whole Faculty and that can also successfully carry out all different tissue viral culture. Remember he was even retired but his quality was still sort after.
Now, 2019, 2020 to present, Sars-cov2 pandemic hit the world, do you know Nigeria had only very few molecular scientists across the whole country ? also less than 0.001 % could even sequence the virus we had in Nigeria. From North to South out of the 174 both Federal , state and privately owned universities only about 1 or maybe 2 have a molecular lab that can handle any identification and even try to sequence the virus to know the strain circulating in Nigeria.
You heard Delta variant and Omicron virant of cov-sar-2 identified by other countries, does it mean in Nigeria we had no different virant ? No,
but Lack of capacity and quality man power to handle all this things.
Now, this lack of capacity runs in every sector of the nation and that's why you see why we as a nation find ourselves were we are.
So I espected you to Only mention quality education as one positive thing that you think.

Are you not the same person here?

When I saw your response on my Russia vs Ukraine post which I considered rude,I restrained from replying considering your "good" works in this travel section which I have also benefited from + limited time.

However, I might have reasons to get back at you if you do not comport yourself. What exactly are you driving at? You dug my old post out just to buttress your points. That is totally unnecessary. I am beginning to think you have knowledge but no idea!

We all would eventually walk the part that we have chosen, there is absolutely no bed of roses anywhere in the world and you have to make the most of whatever circumstance you find yourself in.
I have 3 kids, I was paying an average of N1.1M per term for school in Nigeria,for all three kids,and this to some is a lot while to others its small fires, to each his/her own. When I inspected schools in the Uk, and compared public schools in the UK to the private school I was paying for, the difference in facilities and tutoring was quite glaring. In the business term, thats a saving of N1.1M for me. Would I be bothered if I get taxed extra because my kids now go to a better school? Hell NO. All three are in public schools in the UK now, something I cant try here in Nigeria.

My last, never loved school, all of a sudden he is always eager to go to school now, my daughter is excelling in maths, a subject her teacher always complained about in Nigeria. My son started football lessons, and he absolutely loves it, swimming is also done in-between.

Obviously, the UK is not a bed of glittering roses, you would have to trade money for quality living, work your ass off to make ends met, but the beneficiary of all the hustle would be your children.

A lot of money is involved in getting settled in the UK, for some its their entire life savings, and for some its just a tiny bit of savings, while some would end up borrowing for the same venture.
They usually say, the end should justify the means, but you need to work smart and work hard. You would be amazed by how much you would save with the right information. Hear say wont get you far, regardless of the situation, people would always have differences in their thought process.

The quality of life in Nigeria has been degraded by a lot, even in wealth, your average life expectancy in Nigeria is not guaranteed at 50. Some few weeks ago, millionaires and billionaires were groaning because of the non availability of diesel, it affected everyone. Billioniares literally have to drive in long convoy's and bullet proof cars to avoid stories that touch, their close family have to do same . The list is endless, the UK is an opportunity to try another way of life and compromise on a few things here in Nigeria.

The reality is that, not everyone would be succesful, but it is worth the try. Absolutely better than doing nothing. Here in Nigeria, you still have to hustle, and work smart, so why not the Uk.

What is being told, is so you prepare yourself for the unexpected, the internet should be your best buddy if you intend to relocate, every single resource is in there.
My dad left the UK in 1975, he was always getting sick because of the cold. He worked for the department of education , and I shit you not, he is still getting his pension. Obviously its paltry, but would you believe a system paying pension to someone that left the system 47 years ago? This is why some are craving it.

We can argue all we want but we cant compare both systems, yes, you get taxed a lot but your quality of life is greatly improved, and you would obviously see the reasons why you paying the tax.

This place was started to help people have a clear view of how to go about studying in the Uk and remaining in the Uk, we can make inputs on what people should prepare themselves for, lots of inputs. Let the focus of the thread remain about studying in the Uk.

Some of you will still not come out with good grades if you school abroad,you don't even know what drives you,you expect me to come here and tell you what motivates you to move?
You mentioned Quality education,is our education not qualitative? i know you will say Yes,but before you go with that irrelevant thought that has been ingrained in your brain.
Remember so many Nigerian doctor's on NHS payroll who all studied back at home.
Remember several professionals in UK whose educations were all acquired in Nigeria,they only seat a Professional course of around 6 months.
if their education are all washed up will they be able to pass and perform excellently well?

Small piking still dey worry you.
You need to embrace logical thinking.
You are not sound for the kind of argument you want to engage in.
No apology
