I am a huge beneficiary of this platform and I have been in US for four months now. I didn't have any prior travel experience before coming here, infact my trip to US was the first time I entered a plane. Regardless, I got most of the information I needed for both admission and the visa application from here. I'd like share some of my experiences and the ways I have been cutting cost. In my first fews weeks here, I was spending about $20 each day on food and taxi. I couldn't escape it because I didn't even bring one food stuff from Nigeria and the truth is that I didn't have any intentions of cooking, not until I got here and realise that eating outside is best way to go broke. A basic meal would cost at least $7 (obviously cheap for a working class person earning in dollars here). Two meals a day at this price for 30 days is already $420, for a BASIC meal oo. Long story short, cooking is my new hubby . On the flip side food stuff is relatively cheap and you can comfortably live on $50 - $100 a month if you make your own food. The funny thing I noticed is that beef is the "premium" meat here. Hence it is more expensive than chicken(the irony of life). ALDI and Family dollar stores are my favorite stores because their items are very cheap. Check them out if they are near you. It pays to also get the grocery store card you shop from for membership deals and it's free. The transport system here is kinda wack and it doesn't align well with my school schedule. I had to get a bike and it's been a life saver. Walking to school from my place is about 25-30minutes but on bike is just 10minutes. Some people actually use the bus and it serves them well, it all depends on your location and your schedule. Lest I forget, someone tried to steal my Benz (sorry my bike) two weeks ago. I usually lock the Benz just outside my apartment and the thieve was trying to cut the lock. I dey park the bike inside house. No stories For calls and data, I was using T-Mobile when I first got here. I was paying $47/ month for unlimited national calls and messages with 4GB data which is their cheapest plan. The annoying part is that I don't even get to use any of this, most people prefer texting and it's delivered through iMessage except for the few that use other OS. Also, WiFi is almost everywhere and I only get to use the data when I'm riding with google map. I went online to find a solution and discovered RedPocket mobile. I had to port to RedPocket while retaining my number, right now I pay $15 for 1000 Minutes and 1000 Messages plus 1GB data. It serves me well and their network seems pretty good. I am even considering switching to their lowest plan of $10 for 500 calls and 500 Messages with 500MB. Check there coverage for your area if you want to switch. The good thing is that they use T-Mobile reception, so it works wherever T-Mobile reception works. For intending students coming here, school location should be one of your criterias when choosing a school because cost of living varies greatly from city to city (not just the state). What I am paying for rent now in long branch, NJ is twice what someone is paying in say Newark, NJ. Also, just so you know, there is always a limit to the number of roommates you're allowed to have and it's usually limited to two persons. Some places don't even allow roommates just like mine. But contrary to what I heard before coming here, most houses include heat, gas and other utilities in their rent. The closer the apartment to school the more expensive it is. So if you have a car you can stay some miles away from school at cheaper rate. The one thing that breaks my heart is when I visit the barbershop. $18 for haircut and $3 dollar for shaving (Biko why would someone cut his hair without shaving). The same amount you spend on haircut you can use it to buy 4 packs of organic chicken labs and 1 pack has about 14 chicken labs(drumsticks). Sigh Meanwhile, We just concluded the spring semester. The only thing that's on my mind now is how to make the best of this four months summer break. I'm yet to get an internship. Any ideas from the gurus is most welcome. 47 Likes 13 Shares |

Good inflow and outflow, but the account am using for the interview is a little bit above the "Estimated cost of one year".. About $6k. So please should we go ahead and transfer the money in the other account little by little, until i print the the statement for my interview or the $6k is a pretty good gap. And it does not really matter. Thanks
