Mekurexx: Thanks a lot . Good explanation. Please what's your undergraduate major? I am very sure they will ask for prerequisite courses. Do you know were i can take one or two courses? Are certificate courses valid? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Mekurexx: 5:39pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Undergrad-microbiology. for the program, it doesnt fall under health dept. 60% of the courses are Management/Business courses but some courses are purely on public health. On the program website, it says ''all undergrad majors'' are encouraged to apply/inquire. So maybe you should email/call the Grad Coordinator she will be very happy to respond to you. I think certificate courses should do too. Like i said health courses are less than 50% malory84: |

Also malory84, if you have a high GPA. you can apply for international full tuition waiver (3.5 above), and also GA positions. They are quite generous cuz they know CA is quite expensive. And its based on department/college selections. So goodluck ! |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by malory84: 5:58pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Mekurexx: Ok. my GPA is 3.98/5.0 don't know what it will amount to when converted. Thanks a lot for the tips. I really want Cal cuz of the weather and all. Common cold weather for Naija na wahala for me not to talk of the US. |

malory84:If you're coming to California cos of the weather, you might be disappointed. The weather is nothing like Nigeria. The winters can be brutally cold and the summers is extremely crazy hot..... and when I mean crazy, I am not exaggerating. If you're choosing schools based on weather then schools in southern America should be your go to. Also factor in the cost of housing and living too. Advise I always give to my friends and relatives coming her for school is "Go to school in the South or Midwest, look for jobs in the East coast or West Coast or whichever place you'd like to live after school is finished" I personally will not advise any student who doesn't have full funding and solid means of financing their housing, feeding and the rest to come here. Minimum wage is $10, you can work only 20 hours a week... thats roughly $800 in a month. Depending on your school location (Long Beach, LA, San Diego, San Bernadino and the rest), that $800 will leave you struggling to pay rent and bills every month. And not to talk of the fact that most Cal States and University of California are very stingy with funding. They barely give GAs and some of them don't even offer it at all. Your best best is an RA and that will be most likely after you've spent a semester or two. School fees are also one of the most expensive in the country. UCals are way more expensive than Cal States and even at that, what they pay per semester at Cal States is enough to cover my tuition in Southern US. All the best sir/ma 7 Likes |

MsNas: Hello. Where in the south are you, ma'am? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by MsNas(f): 6:20pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:I used to live in Arkansas (went to school there) but I don't live there anymore. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:24pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
MsNas: oh ok thanks. I've decided on a school in the deepest part of the deep south so I like getting peoples' perspectives so I know what to expect. |

Fortissimo:Which state if you don't mind me asking? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:29pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
MsNas: MS! Please don't say anything to scare me. Lol kidding. I've weighed my options and it's the best fit for me. It's the university I'm going to, not the state |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:29pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
MsNas:Can you stress more on the brutally cold? How brutal compared to other states? Yes it is really annoyingly hot there. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:32pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:Yes its hot over there, but the cold is not as compared to when you're in the some southern states or north. If its the weather, then I guess you should go for either Texas or Cali. Some southern states are not that cold like Alabama. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by MsNas(f): 6:33pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:Lol. Missouri is just like Arkansas. It actually borders AR and its a good place to go to college. Cost of living is also reasonable compared to other states. That's why I decided to go to AR as well, I am going to the school and not the state and I never regretted that decision. All the best bro |

slimmy2005:Please read the post is responded to. The poster said he/she wanted to school in Cali cos of the weather. I told her not to believe the hype, cos Californian weather is nothing like Nigerian weather. YES California can be COLD in the winter. This is first hand experience. Northern Cali, SoCal, SF Bay area, the valleys, the deserts, and the rest are very cold in the winter. It doesn't snow, but the cold bites. I've also been in the south where it snows so I have plenty basis for comparison |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by MsNas(f): 6:38pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
Fortissimo:Oh sorry. Missouri is MO. Mississippi na deep south state. I can imagine cost of living will even be much more lower. Forget the state, face the school |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:39pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
slimmy2005: Thanks bro. Good weather is nice but it's not really a dealbreaker for me. Except the weather will interfere with my studies. What state r u in? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:43pm On Mar 24, 2016 |

Fortissimo:Ha bros, nooo. If I can go to school in AR, MS be learner o |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:51pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
MsNas:Of course I read the post quite well. I was only concerned with the word "Brutally Cold". I wanted to know if its an exaggeration or a fact. |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:52pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
MsNas: Ehen better . What school and program did you finish from? Where r u now? |
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 8 by Nobody: 6:53pm On Mar 24, 2016 |
malory84:Stem is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. It is not a stem program. Even Public Health is not a STEM program. |
