Thank you @Takeruk I've been checking the universities that I've applied and there seems a lot to offer, I hope soon I got the offers so I can decide.

Wow! This discussion have really broaden my horizon. I didn't have think about the medical insurance or anything related to accommodation and all as all receive all medical supplies and injection free of charge from my country. Sorry or not being clear in my first post, but I was talking about how university treated diabetic students, For instance, in the university that I attended to in the UK the lecturer actually mail me all the materials a day before the lecture and they give an extra time in the exams and all. As far as the insurance and prescribed medications I still don't know what the universities that I've applied to offers and how much I should pay for the insurance. I will have to see and look for the information though. Ps. I am 31 with a type one diabetic so I don't know how much I have to pay in the open market. thank you everyone for contributing in this discussion and please if you have any further information please pass it by as I am kinda lost here

Hello, I have an unseen disability (diabetic student) and was just wondering since I am an international student what type of support usually universities offers ? particularly the universities in the east coast could any one just clarify it to me ? thanks in advance

hey LKS, currently I am not interested in pursuit the job market. it goes like this, as soon as I finish my MA from a recognisable institution weather is it from UK of USA I likely would rewarded from my country by A) having a job B ) financial award and C) financial support to travel and get a P.H.D that is if I want it. SO, my main reason I want to have a P.H.D is because it something I always want it from the moment I got into my undergrad school and I know it is not reflecting in my undergrad grades, but imagine that you was on a ship to your promising land and all of a sadden you got lost due to some circumstances I am not ready to mention it yet and the only option in front of you is to get to undergrad college that ranked 8000 and something! luckily I 'revenge' on the education system in my country and applied just out of the honour of the experiment and applied to a university that ranked among the first 50th on the world in languages and got acceptance. I mean from my point of view, if I got acceptance to a university ranked that advance I consider it is a huge jump from where I was! my question is really simple, Do I have a chance to get acceptance in one of respectable grad school in USA baring in mind that I already have grant?

Hello, One of my friends has done a master degree in linguistics from UK and now she is currently restudying the same program in USA and she told me that the main reason she restudying the same program is that America does not recognise the British education system! does she just kidding with me or she is telling the truth? she know that I want deeply to study my master in USA at first place, but I put this on hold because of LOW of G.P.A. she also know that I will go to UK and study there because I want to correct that weakness in my c.v for P.H.D. As for my roughly C.V it goes like this: English is my second language and I am intending to self-study French starting this coming January because I want to study it like forever also I think it will look good on my c.v. Besides that I got an offer to study MA in Linguistics in one of the UK's leading school along with that I will apply for Oxford summer school for a month or so furthermore, I have countless on-line classes from recognisable institutions and I am currently applying for Harvard on-line classes. Also I am taking Cambridge proficiency exam. I didn't took the G.R.E exam yet, but I will be taking it through next academic year. Aside from that I am working through my first novel (does it help to have publication in a related MA field?) this is the summery of what I have so far and what I am plaining to have in 2015. I am planing to take the P.H.D in English; so I don't know if a master in linguistics would help my application or not. what you guys think, I am not talking about IVY League as I realise it is a long shoot, but other respectable school would be nice.

thank you very much I'll send it right away <3
