I would say yes ... if in addition to the 600 dollars you still work 20 hours a week on campus then yes . You wont live in luxury but you will get by prudently
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, one of the terms of the assistantship is to work as a research assistant for 20 hours and more per week.

Well, that is your interpretation of what I wrote. The facts don't lie. I gave the worst case "I am a robot, I don't have human feelings" scenario and even under those conditions, $600 did not suffice. If he/she choses to go ahead with that sorta budget, she/he is likely going to end up with a lot of credit card debt before completing the program. We all know that credit card "gbese" is the worst kind of "gbese" you can ever have.

Another issue not considered by the poster is the quality of the medical insurance he/she secured. If it was provided by the university, then it's likely to have an in network deductible of at least $1500. I only know of 2 schools in Texas whose health insurance package have a deductible of at most $500, so one health emergency and the poster debt profile may spiral out of control. It's so easy to fall into the debt trap in these parts. So if the poster is averse to debt he/she will probably need to come up with a back up plan on how to raise the ceiling on his/her earning power.
Thank you for your response. I really don't understand the whole insurance thingy.

Also, most people on here get assistantships that cover full tuitions but still with large deficits. So, how do these people do it since the stipends they get is obviously not enough. Permit me to mention schools; ETSU, APSU et al.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by psychologyshuby: 5:43pm On Dec 03, 2019
How much was your deficit? And how much was the account balance? Cus from the transcript everything was a fine until the issue of account...

If you're in sound health and keep a low profile, you should be fine. I don't know how those guys survive o, but rumor has it a lot of them do stuff under the table - I do not recommend this though. But to be honest, if you do not have a way to increase your earnings, you will definitely graduate with a sizable amount in credit card debts.

Good morning guys, I want to apply for masters in University of North Texas , from the school site I can see GRE or GMAT is not needed for the course I want to apply for . Also I did my BSc in the UK , would I be exempted from the English proficiency test like toefl cos on the school site I saw citizens or degree holders from one of the listed countries would be exempted and UK was surely on the list .

With a degree from the UK, you won't need to write any English proficiency test.

I'm not quite sure about what you need help with, but it's best you write the graduate coordinator of the program you're interested in for details on how to proceed or info on your chances.

SMREXY:
Hello guys! I must commend the richness of this thread, you guys are really doing a great job.
I currently have an issue at hand, my Visa was denied on November 27 and I need to reapply. I have a Research Assistantship offer, which covers my tuition fee and living expenses. I believe the reason for the denial could have been that I didn't present an evidence to show that I would be back to Nigeria after my PhD program. It's a pity I had the document right there with me but there was no cause for me to present it as the conversation with the VO was smooth without her requesting for any supporting document. I was able to establish that I am currently an Assistant Lecturer in a Federal University here in Nigeria. Perhaps, I should have been forward enough to present the letter of introduction I got from my Registrar.
The issue now is that I need to resume latest by January 06, 2020 and the only feasible location now is Abuja but my Ds-160 was initially filled using Lagos.
I humbly request for your kind response on the following:

1.) Do I need to revisit my Ds-160 and change the location to Abuja?

2.) Does changing interview location affect my chances?

3.) Do I still qualify to request for an emergency date, since I used it for my last appointment.

I look forward to your constructive responses.
Thank you.

Thanks a lot, just mailed the graduate coordinator to find out , also I would like to know if not writing GRE would affect my Visa application even though my school does not require it.
Re: General USA Student Visa Enquiries-part 15 by frapzkid: 3:32am On Dec 04, 2019
Concerning the bank statement I may print for my Visa interview, does it have a specified amount and time period like the UK. Or does the VO just looks at it and decides if the statement is authentic and sufficient
