Things no one would tell you about new south wales;


1.so many asians here...about 80 percent if im not exaggerating,chinese tops the list.

2.it gets dark by 5pm...like 8pm in naija kind of dark.

3.once in a while,in a bus,you will see a white granny staring at you like she just saw kinta kunte.. lol

4.It is absolutely possible to live a lonely life,with no friends like a psycho..

5.you will probably meet not more than 5 blacks in your first week.

6.Chinese generally dont associate much with other races,so dont feel bad,for you are not alone.

7.you will probably need some time to get back your normal sleep cycle,sleeping during the day and late night wakefulness will eventually balance out.

8.nkechi back at home probably thinks so much more of you now,but then,you are still the same person.

9.most bills are paid bi-weekly,eg rent,gym bills etc

10.cheap things like ordinary keyholders cost about $13 and a something like a printer+scanner=$35....imagine

11.you might actually not wanna go back home...

still luving it here..

I think you should check the Total UOC's you'd need to graduate with. I think there are 4 semesters in a 2 year programme, excluding the summer semesters you may choose to enrol some courses in.

dexterinc2003:


@ernestudezi, I definitely hope the shorter days are because of the 'winter'(as we no gree see snow,abi na harmattan ni? ).

12.the tap water is hardwater,which is actually good for you,but bad for your bar soap and kettles...liquid soap is the way.

omooba2015:

Thanks for your reply, you mean visa 189(assessment),I want through the 3 body that relates to Accounting,it think I need ICAN to be qualify,someone one this tread had a person that have Nigerian Bsc Accounting equivalent,but our Bsc is not standard to Australian own.

Hello Omooba. Have you thought of doing your MBA in Nigeria and applying with that via the PR route instead of the Student route? You already have 8yrs of working experience. I applied with my HND and MBA and I got a positive assessment from Vetassess, even when someone in the forum opined that I cant get a positive assessment without a BSc. Lo and Behold my MBA was assessed to be comparable  to the educational level of an AQF Master degree. My MBA is from a private university in Nigeria. My 2cent though.

ferdimako:

So ur assessment has come in positive and this is d way to tell us?

Anyway, I think Omoba should consider going for an MBA here...National Open University is there...after two years he gets his stuff. I think he won't get migration points from work experience.

But is it still hard to get done with ICAN or its likes?

Folks shouldn't be rushing in with student visas when you know funding will eventually become an issue...that shiiit ain't funny...I tell ya.

I removed myself from it last year and I'm gonna b using my M.Sc to get an equivalence soon.

Fedemeko, while I partially agree with your point, nevertheless , going via student route is not bad rather than waiting in Nigeria idle. Everyone should asses his or herself whether he or she is eligible for PR at the present time or student route. No doubt PR is the best due to financial obligation of student visa. Just that guys do survive here and I havent see anyone being deported for non payment of the tuition fee. I am not in support of coming to Australia through student route without enough fund but people survive here. Nothing is rosy in life but it is better to have adequate fund before embarking on the journey . In addition, rather than waiting for decade while the individual knows he or she is not ripe for PR, it is better to enter via student route. Someone who is inside the Australia have better chances than the one outside Australia waiting . All in all, everyone should weigh his or her option, nothing bad in student if you know it will take a while to qualify for PR. Infact, skill list can change and you can get hit. Two kobo

mobuch:


U r absolutely right; I don't see why people would just come online and give out demotivating advice to people who want to migrate in order to make their lives better; any hardworking person will find it absolutely easy to survive in australia whether tuition fee or whatever, if he or she knows what ðεƔ are doing.
