Studying abroad opens doors to global opportunities — but only when students choose the right course and destination. Many Nigerians make avoidable mistakes due to misinformation, assumptions, or pressure, and these mistakes can lead to financial loss, visa rejection, or a poor study experience.
Here are the top 7 mistakes students make and how Prime Crown Consulting helps them avoid these pitfalls.
1. Choosing Countries Based on Trends
A country becoming “popular” on social media doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for every student.
Avoid this mistake by:
Choosing a country based on:
- Your academic background
- Your career goals
- Visa success trends
- Job-market opportunities
- Tuition & living cost alignment
2. Ignoring Hidden Costs
Some countries have affordable tuition but extremely high living costs. Students get stranded when they fail to plan for:
- Housing
- Transportation
- Food
- Health insurance
- Study materials
Prime Crown Consulting provides a full cost breakdown for each country to avoid surprises.
3. Picking Courses With Low Global Demand
Many students choose courses without knowing whether there is a growing job market for them.
Courses in IT, Data Analysis, Engineering, Business & Healthcare have the highest employability worldwide.
We help students pick programs with strong long-term value.
4. Not Understanding Visa or Immigration Requirements
Each country has:
- Different documentation rules
- Different immigration pathways
- Different post-study work opportunities
Some students only realize this after arriving — when it’s too late.
We help students understand these rules before they apply.
5. Applying to Schools Without Meeting Requirements
Common issues include:
- Low grades
- Incomplete documents
- Unsupported gap years
- Insufficient funding
Prime Crown Consulting reviews student profiles and matches them with programs they qualify for to avoid rejection.
6. Waiting Till the Last Minute to Prepare
Late applications lead to:
- Limited scholarship opportunities
- Delayed admissions
- Missed visa appointments
We guide students on timelines so they never miss a deadline.
7. Making Decisions Without Data
Students often rely on opinions instead of facts.
This leads to poor decisions such as:
- Overpaying for low-ranking schools
- Choosing cities with no job opportunities
- Studying courses with low employability
Prime Crown Consulting uses data analysis and research to help students make well-informed choices.
