Salam Alaykum brothers and sisters:sister: any sisters here wear the niqab or jilabib?
Did you find it harder to get into Uni or did you face any kind of discrimination. I will soon start wearing the Iran type jilabib and have been told by my family that it will effect my chance of getting into a good Uni.
Is this truth?

I preassume that you are in Canada. I think there aren't any Unis in Canada that is discriminative. Waterloo is a very diverse University to attend, but the competition there is just so intense, it is very difficult to keep up with it. Inshallah that you will get into the university that you desire .
i dont think Kings (in london) will be a problem...my sister is inshAllah going to go there soon and she wears the jilbaab...plus there is quite a large muslim pop. there.
Your acceptance to university should be based on your academic abilities and not your dress code, otherwise, like the others said, it would be discrimination. In the beginning people might stare and point or make remarks, but be strong and once they get used to you, you will be fine.

i dont see how it will effect you getting in to the uni, unles they have to see you before you are accepted... like if you have an interveiw.
My friends and i wear hijab and we all go to one of the best universities in my country, and there are lots of muslims there too... i think people are just trying to scare you by saying such things..
i wear a hijab+ niqab(ALHUMDULILLAH).......and i am studying in uni too.
And alhumdulillah......i never had any problem with that. Just be determined and inshaAllah Allah will help you. Dress code doesnot affect one's studies........not at all. And insha Allah you will get admission in uni too.
My all prayers are with you.......May Allah help you.

“And put your trust in Allah, and sufficient is Allah as a Trustee (Disposer of Affairs),” (Al-Ahzab, 33:3).
No it's not harder to get into uni whilst wearing jilbab etc In fact some universities take students wearing the Hijab, for their own purpose, they want to promote religious rights etc
Insha Allah khayr sister. You just stop worry, pray Istikhara and put your Trust in Allah.

i dont wear jilbaab etc but dont think thats true AT ALL!
ID is a problem for sisters who wear Niqab, however you can work your way around it, sometimes Allah opens a way for you and they actually take a pciture whilist wearing the Niqab. But with some Uni's you can't get way with it, thats where you have to be smart- get a woman to check your ID picture.
