Dancingpotato:

omoyemela:

Please what's g.a?

Dancingpotato:
graduate assistantship

omoyemela:


Oh no. Not familiar with the terms here.

Dancingpotato:
you mean you get no financial aid?

Chidinho10:


Not all courses give financial aid in form of GAs
Some professional masters such as MBA, MPP, MPA, MIDP in most universities do not give GA or RA
The highest you can get is partial or full tuition scholarships, but you must be able to cater for your living expenses at least

omoyemela:


I didn't get financial aid.

anyway thanks.

Its okay. Life in Auburn is as soft as it could get. It all depends on your lifestyle and social inclinations.
Pertaining to financial aid, there are some on-campus employment that you could clinch. Your academic strength can also open doors for you as intelligence and diligence is highly appreciated here.

On a lighter note, pack as many quality jeans as you can afford unless you plan to wear bum shorts because that's the only cheap variety of jean available.

Thank you so much. I will do abit of winter shopping now as I am currently in the UK. Hopefully I will connect with you before coming by God's grace. Thanks once again.

Eh! AmErIcA!!!!

If you are comin here to study make sure you have a GA/Scholarship or you can atleast come in with money to cover your first 2 semesters ooooo! Hmmmm... Seeing people dropping out of status here hurts me personally not because they don't want to study, but because they came with genuine intention to study, but school kicking them out because they can't pay tuition! The street ain't easy here either! Plan your self well before you take off! Have a plan A,B,C and D sef! Otherwise........

Visa Transcript.

First I need to state it clearly that God + preparation is the key to F1.
I appreciate this nairaland family. Special thanks to the Boss lady Lagosismyhome - you are a blessing to this family, Imperioux & Bigfrancis - your careful and detailed advise to the upcoming is of great value, Twoods- your constructive criticism sha..but the hard truth has to be told, Walspring - Keep touching lives.

My interview was on 12th-Oct.
So I got to the embassy by 5am & met them 'staple your docs & get coloured copy of your data page' people. Thankful for the knowledge I acquired here...
I was interviewed by a white guy on window 3.

Me: "Good morning".

Vo: ignores me

Me: (hia!!!ogbeni ogini kwa) "Good morning"

Vo: Looks up & smiles "Good morning my man"

Me: "How was your night?"

Vo: "Fine fine. Yours?"

Me: *Relaxed at this point "it was fine too thanks."

Vo: "I see you are going to school, which university?"

Me: "I am going to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for my Msc in Environmental Science. I will be specialising on Env Tech & Assessment."

Vo: "Tell me about your undergrad?"

Me: "I studied Civil Engineering @ FUTO.. I specialized on Env/Water Resources Eng. For my undergrad project, I carried out a dissertation on the Design of an integrated solid waste management system for futo community. It was at this point I became aware of the impacts of human activities on the environment so I made up my mind on a career in env remediation & protection. I also.." (vo cuts in)

Vo: "Tell me the main problem of solid waste in Nigeria?"

Me: "The major challenge with solid waste in Nigeria is improper disposal. Here, we practice open dumping and sometimes dispose of our waste in waterbodies hence polluting the environment, breeding rodents & pests, and disrupting biodiversity in the rivers & streams..."(I sha kept on blabbing)

Vo: (listening & nodding in concurrence).. "Tell me the factors you consider when designing an engineered sanitary landfill

Me: *whistles(haba!!! From where kwanu).. "Well I would consider location & topography. The landfill must be cited away from the settlement & at a place where seepage from the waste won't affect the underlying aquifer. (*Me I sha wanted to use jargon so it ll look like I know what I am saying very well).

Vo: "So why this school?"

Me: "I am inspired to study at siue because unlike my other admits, the department at siue provides and maintains long-term field sites for monitoring environmental remediation processes. These field sites would be of great benefit to me as my intended area of research focuses primarily on environmental remediation using phytoremediation technologies (*at this time the vo was shaking his head in disapproval then cuts in...)

Vo: "I can see you rehearsed for this.. ok tell me; what fiels sites are you talking about?"

Me: "Well you know that Illinois is nicknamed the Prairie state because of the abundance of grassy plains like the oak savannahs. Siue in collaboration with the us.epa gives the students and faculty access to these restored sites for research. (*He started smiling & somehow at this point I knew he was going to approve me.)

Vo: "Who is paying for this?"

Me: Told him

Vo: "What does he do?"(*begins to seperate my i-20 & sevis from my passport)

Me: Told him.

Vo: Picks white paper and says the magic words. It was really magical. People who have experienced this can confirm.

I advice you prepare well and don't cram your responses as it kinda irritates the impatient ones.

Please pray.

I hereby usher in more Spring 2018 approved visa transcripts.
