    Hello. Lovely video. Although I was 😲 I won't lie . Especially for the rent part. Maybe cause I am converting it to naira to really get the gist bit every country has their system. Congratulations on your 1k subscribers. I sent a DM on IG, I have some questions to ask about TH-cam. Don't know if it's convenient to ask them here. Keep shining aunty fisayo❤️🎉🎊

    • @FisayoGracieAbby
      @FisayoGracieAbby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you❤️ I can totally understand! It seems very ridiculous when you convert it to a lower currency like the naira. It helps to use ratios when you’re comparing it to your own monthly expenses. For instance, the ratio of your rent to your total expense, then compare it to mine. The ratio of your feeding expense to self care expense and then compare to mine, etc.
      Also, I’ve responded to your IG DM ❤️

      Not true. You have one year of stay for NonSTEM programs. You’ll only need to “go back home” if you don’t get a job or a company to sponsor you within that extra one year

    Hi, thanks for the subject. I just got a 40% scholarship in a US university. I'm also allowed to split the remaining 60% tuition and pay 5 times per semester. I'd like you to kindly help me understand the US student employment process. Is it possible to get another job outside the usual 20hrs per week rooster. As in, is it allowed? How difficult can it be to raise funds from working over there. I am asking to know if I should go for this admission or not. Thanks.

    • @FisayoGracieAbby
      @FisayoGracieAbby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hello, thank you for asking. First, congratulations on your admission!
      Are you an international student? If yes, then it’s generally not advised that you seek employment outside the hours stipulated by your schools immigration body.
      Also, it depends on the type of program you’re enrolling into. Does it allow you do an internship during the summer or get a part time job? You’d need to speak to current students at your school, and the admissions committee to further analyze your options.
      Hope this helps

    • @gozman55
      @gozman55 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thanks for your timely response. I'll definitely ask the grad school committee. But I want to ask this. From your experience, can the 20hr per week on campus job be able to cater for the remaining tuition (if I'm to pay 5 times in 5 months) and living expenses. Yes I'm an international student

    • @FisayoGracieAbby
      @FisayoGracieAbby  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It depends on the GA salary amount and your tuition fee. In my case, my GA salary alone would not pay my tuition because it’s over a $100k. When you speak to them you’d find out the amount being paid and then make your decision
