Please I need advice, I have the option of school accommodation or outside. Average cost of outside is 500 per month (without bills) whilst school is 750 pm(all bills included) If I stay outside, after arriving I need to be in a hotel till I sort out accommodation and from what I hear getting accommodation can be quite difficult, country: Scotland |

Aremson14: Simply factor in the cost of your hotel per night + unnecessary stress you would encounter in the process........ That £250 extra, would pale into insignificance......😁 3 Likes 1 Share |

Hi Gurus… I want to make enquiries pls. My International license(Nigeria Normal license) expired on the 30th of November 2023. But I haven’t used 12month in the UK . Hope it won’t be a problem since I was in UK before the license expired? Your input will be appreciated |

Hi everyone, I remember there were some portable heaters recommended a while back but can't seem to find them. Please any recommendation for an energy efficient bedroom heater will be highly appreciated. Thanks! 1 Like |

LionInZion: It's a double standard for sure. The reality is the Ukrainians largely share the same race, religion, culture and continent as Britain, so they assimilate easier and people feel more comfortable with them. 2 Likes 1 Share |

iyatrustee: What a very funny way to summarize the question. 😂 You bad. @Efftyy it’s illegal to drive with an expired licence globally. I will assume expired Licence means expired insurance. In the UK, you can be charged up to -£1k if caught. |

Raalsalghul: Humans are tribal. That one is sure. Should there be war in Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore to an extent, will gladly accept Taiwanese as refugees. But none of those countries accepted refugees from Myanmar. Many applied to Japan, and she refused except for one prominent human rights activist. Na why young people suppose understand the world for what it is, rather than what they should/expect it to be. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Gerrard59: Thank you. Especially for the last part. Some people love the feeling of victim mentality so much they reduce everything into one ‘ism’ or the other automatically. I was going to ask the OP if Nigeria got involved in supporting Ukraine the way it did for the West African countries in crisis following coups/wars. 2 Likes |

Hi, I need a candid advise. I am an international student and would be starting my internship in January 2024, I also would be starting a AWS course this January. I want to buy a laptop, I budgeted £450 pounds for a solid brand new laptop (hp). Been searching online tho, but someone advised I go for a refurbished MacBook on back market or other sites, that it would be better because I would find something great with my budget. What do you guys think And you can drop any site one can find great quality refurbished laptops in uk |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by hustla(m): 8:55am On Dec 09, 2023 |
Agidipie: You don't need a MacBook for AWS courses, a windows pc will do just fine You can get on ebay or Backmarket if you want the MacBook 3 Likes |

Encouraging someone out there to keep applying for these jobs because that's what this thread did for me. If I wasn't following this thread I would think once I secure a good warehouse job, I should keep it, but I kept applying, different jobs different role and now I have my offer letter for an entry role with a bank. It's not a big salary but promise of growth is enough for me to start from there. Warehouse is an honest job and a good one, but nothing stops us from aiming higher. All the arguments or the fights, all the differing opinions, believe me it goes a long way in helping the new immigrants. So let's keep aiming higher. 25 Likes 1 Share |

Viruses: I dont see an issue. But be sure to read the fine print about what's covered and to what extent. Many times, the cheaper offer might not cover an aspect (e.g emergency call outs) and you'd have the option of adding that cover for more before paying. Also worth looking thru cashback sites. Got £42 back from my home insurance of £250. |
