Hi,

I am thinking about moving to Yola to go to the American university there.

Does anyone have any opinion on this?

Do they have decent apartments to live in? Do you know the average cost?

Is it relatively safe or do people walk around with armed security?

Please inbox me or email me if you feel better chatting in private.

R u going to study or work at the university?

afghanspiritMember25 May 2013 17:39:49

maybe. yes, thats why I would be going but i dont think i would want to live in a hostel and that is why i am asking about the accommodation

like how much can u afford a month for accomdation and food? It depends on tht.

afghanspiritMember25 May 2013 17:45:54

i can afford a lot but i dont like to spend so much.

How about 500$ for a one bedroom apartment?

RaparthyMember25 May 2013 17:47:16

If u can afford a lot then u should prefer the hostel inside they r good.
