Cc: justwise OlowoB claremont fizzile and others.. Now that the UK has appointed Theresa May as the new PM(Prime minister). What do you guys all think about this new role ![]() Will it still favour international students or nahh |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by claremont(m): 9:24pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
Whatamidoinghere: It wouldn't favour international students or immigrants in general I'm afraid. Theresa May headed the Home Office for 6 years, and her time in that Office has seen the promulgation of the most hostile immigration policies against international students. That was when the UK hadn't voted the leave the EU, the policies will be even more hostile now that she is supposed to be heading a new government that will take the UK out of the EU. If the intent of the international student is to come to the UK for studying alone, that's not set to change. If the intent is to immigrate after studying, I wouldn't recommend the UK at this point in time. I also foresee the financial threshold to get married will be increased from the present £18,500 to at least £30,000. This will almost close down the marriage route of immigration. Tier 1 and Tier 2 visa salary threshold might also be raised as well. What we are hoping for is that the Labour Party gets its house in order and present a formidable opposition force to the forthcoming hostile immigration policies. 4 Likes |

claremont: Do not hold your breath for that! The British public will not support a party that is controlled by the unions and left wing fanatics. The labour party spend more time fighting itself than trying to govern. |

worry359:But do wee see any hope in Theresa May? cos from stories i have heard here, seems things will really toughen up ooooo. All those that voted for Exit should come and explain the benefit of this whole thing. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by fizzile(m): 10:33am On Jul 12, 2016 |
Please for those that voted BREXIT, please kindly explain the benefits and relate it with having Theresa May as the new PM. cos from the stories i have heard, that woman is tough. |

fizzile: No point having someone weak as leader of the country! Britain has another "Iron Lady" In fact this one is probably tougher than Thatcher! Merkel need not think she is going to bully this one! |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by fizzile(m): 10:54am On Jul 12, 2016 |
worry359:So apart from the fact that she is firm as a leader of the country, what's do International students seek to benefit in the nearest future? And what impact will it have on the cost of living,housing and jobs in the UK? |

Clairemont has explained enough. There are so many things that could get better or worse. No one is Nostradamus here. No accurate predictions can be made with 100% certainty. There is so much speculation right now. The only definite things we know are: - he GBP surprisingly lost significant value(but it has started recovering); - EU wants UK to start the EU-exit process ASAP; - Top UK party leaders have been resigning; - Theresa May might historically have a tough view on immigration, but immigration into UK has also steadily increased during her term as Home Secretary; ... As I'm affected, the most important for me is DON'T PANIC, start making adjustments to my UK plans (both short-term and long-term), and closely monitor the slightly-volatile political and economic situation. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 7:51pm On Jul 12, 2016 |
claremont: I don't see that happening at least not that figure, £20.000 maybe but £30,000? Not in next 5 years at least. The current £18,600 was challenged in court recently though the state won but increasing it to £30,000 will hard to think of. |

@All Apart from Azimo is there any other agency with a better deal for sending money to Nigeria? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by claremont(m): 10:41am On Jul 15, 2016 |
justwise: Check World Remit, I have only ever used them. Rates for today attached.

Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 10:45am On Jul 15, 2016 |
claremont: Will try them, thanks a lot. |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by justwise(m): 10:55am On Jul 15, 2016 |
claremont: They are pretty much the same though Arimo charges zero fees for sending(though i'm not sure if its for first timers only) worldremit is higher by about N20 |

Hey guys,I will like to know how these transfer works. Is it when you have a UK account and you can then transfer your pounds to a Naira bank account in Nigeria? Please I wl appreciate some insight. cc: justwise,dustydee,claremont. |

justwise:good evening Mr Justwise...i just recently found this your educative thread.pls i got admission to study msc accounting& finance in Bangor university..pls can u advise me on the best form of accomodation, how much i should prepare for living expenses,,and hw to get a reasonable part time job to support myself in Bangor. the university claims to have a low living expense compared to other uk cities..thanks so much |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by worry359(m): 5:59pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
BarryJones: Contact the admissions office they will have details of accommodation. There is a lot of student accommodation to rent there. Also search on line for Bangor student accommodation. Some would suggest that low living expense is because there is nothing to spend money on! Bangor is very quiet and in North Wales. Most entertainment will be through the university. Few jobs there and most will be low wages in shops. Priority for jobs will be given to Welsh speakers! |

please how can I get a cheap students' accommodation in London? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by worry359(m): 7:50pm On Jul 18, 2016 |
Firefly77: London is the most expensive place to live in the UK. Nothing is cheap there. 4 Likes |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by claremont(m): 12:00am On Jul 19, 2016 |
Firefly77: You might be lucky to meet a Nigerian with a house that will allow you to live there at low cost, or you could join hands with a fellow student and rent a 2-bedroom on the outskirts of London. In any case, London is a very expensive place to live. I lived and worked there a few years ago, could barely save anything after rent and bills had been deducted. 1 Like 1 Share |
