Just concluded with orientation. Was kind of stressful. School resuming on sept 1.

Guys I have a question. Will it be possible for I as an f-1 student to take summer classes say for some prerequisites that I would use for dentistry or say medicine. And if I can, must it be done in the school I'm schooling in or can it be done in a university closer to me

pls can someone help me understand how choosing multiple destinations works in booking a ticket. For example traveling from Lagos to New York through Dubai. Then, do I need a visa to stop at the firststop which in this case is Dubai?

You don't need a visa... You're a transit passenger. You're gonna stay in the airport all through your layover.

I presume you're an undergraduate who wishes to attend medical or dental school.
Summer classes aren't bad but the details you provided are sketchy at best.
What is your current major? Why deficiencies do you think will count against you?
You need to understand how admissions to medical schools work so you don't take classes you may not need.
Do more research on requirements of medical and dental schools viz a viz your current major and first determine if you need extra classes.

If incidentally you need the classes, they have to be at your school so as to have a cohesive application.
Needless to say, medical school is prohibitively expensive. Plan accordingly.
Best wishes.

Miami International is your closest POE...Tampa is about 3hrs away from Miami.

Try Qatar. Their No 1 major hub in the US is Miami so you might get the best deal. But check through all the airlines.

You gotta check through all the major airlines. Some folks on here have advised to try to book in the middle of the night to check the best deals.

Booking a few weeks before travel is also good. Check Arik too.

But then again, how does one know if he or she has been banned due to a case of misrepresentation or whatever. Just a random question.

Thanks for your response, yes I'm an undergraduate. My major is currently nursing and I know there are some courses that I would need to get into med or dental school which is not in my nursing curriculum. What I'm asking is if taking summer classes in my school or another school is in violation of my visa.

Thanks
