@mackynaija I will be coming over to the USA for my masters. I will like you to suggest important things to bring along (Types of cloths, accessories) also considering the luggage limit allowed in planes Thanks 5 Likes |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by MackyNaija(m): 10:06pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
Tunmise100:I wrote something about this same time last year... Luggage limit will be seen on your airline site. The smallest items are the most expensive - bathe sponge, boxers, no need to bring a clipper (we use 110v here), t-shirts are the everyday wear here (temperature readings go above 100*F). Since you don't earn in dollars, once you see a 100naira sponge for 3dollars, you go provoke. ![]() I came here and bought footwear, they are more durable and costs same price with the fake in Nigeria. 4 Likes |
Re: Naija to Yankee Thoughts And Experiences by TheGrandChemist(m): 10:19pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
MackyNaija: Thanks man. I was already thinking of getting a clipper. That would have been a waste of money. I learnt that jeans are expensive over there. Consequently, it would be better to get enough jeans in Nigeria before coming over. |

TheGrandChemist:I failed to mention jeans.. Several will be fine. $25-$40 for a Jean on most sites I checked. If you know how to cook please bring egusi, you go cry if you see the price for USA. There is wheat here. Dried and stock fish should have no bugs, if not na inside dustbin for airport e go end. If you can't cook, use the next few days to learn - crash course in cooking. It will help your life or fastfood go drain your pocket. 9 Likes |

This is an interesting thread, and I must say it good for everyone to know and weigh options,. I travel mostly to the US, did my Masters in Maryland a private school cos I don't want to do any examination which worked out for me. I went to Babcock University for my 1st degree so it was easy to go to another Seventh day Adventist University in US for easy transfer of credit and start off of Masters.. I did my Masters in 2010-2011, I had mad fun, although my classes were in the evening so I worked on-campus during the day, and also worked outside campus too(baby sitting), I was a home stay sitter. So I used all my resources to work n put a roof over my head.. You see US is flexible provided you know you way around, pls note do legal things. So if you get an admission into a big school there is the likelihood that you will get on- campus job,no matter the rate per hour take it so that you know your sorted to an extent.. I was doing two jobs Everyday n go to school evening of Tuesdays and Thursdays so I was able to balance my self, there was a point that I was doing three jobs..although my tuition was paid from Nigeria but I had to sort my up keep myself.. On campus jobs will help with Social security number n filling of tax return, also state ID. And later jobs After you are done with school you get OPT for authorized work out side campus. After my Master I came back home and I have gone to the US many more times without stress.. There are endless possibilities in the US, provided you follow the laws n rules there... 28 Likes |
