STUDENTS IN THE USA

This blog would remain incomplete without the sharing of ideas of not only current but the earlier lot of students who continue to live, study and have made US their home. Any tips for a smooth transition from back home would be more than appreciated.

This blog also welcomes participation from our hallowed teachers and professors who have made us complete in their own inimitable ways. Your ideas, tips and experiences dealing with international students are as welcome to share with one and all.

Have a great week

So You have landed

The Eagle has Landed. The famous quote when some dude landed on the moon. While you certainly can't get to the moon, for now at least, this landing is nothing less than the moon.
Either way, I hope you have happily settled in your abodes. And have your computers up and running.

I am going to ramble off and on and use this platform to share each others experience of living and studying in the US. And yes, I also happen to be a one time US student, went back home and now again away experiencing unexplored parts of Asia.

I thought it would be nice to exchange notes with the current lot. Please chime in and share what all of you are up to.

Since most of you who landed in Fall have had around 8-10 weeks, how has been your experience till now. Anything unusual, exciting scintillating, embarrassing.

And how different was your first Diwali in the US.

On the serious front, how many of you have spent money on calling home to your friends and family. And lets see who has made the longest call till now. More when you all respond.

I am also going to dish out a parting thought for every login. Here is for this one.

"Enjoy every moment while it lasts".

Until next time.
