recently i transferred from NLC to a 4 year college and we had some nepalese already in the university. from their point of view, NLC is the worst and the dumbest choice to be made for an educational purpose. another reasoning they seem to make is that whoever goes to NLC, they only care about money, fun, luxury, but are careless about the studies. i don't know why do they make such a nonsense comments on those, who had some purpose or compulsion too, for joining such 2 year community colleges. some reasons ppl hate NLC includes:

- not reputed

- even ppl in nepal knows abt it although they are unware abt the top universities

- too many nepalese

- gas station, the final destination.......hehe...

i spent my 2 hectic yrs  in NLC too. obviously i transferred in search of cheaper education and an opportunity to earn some money as well to help my parents back home to pay the debt. but that doesn't mean that students like me get completely lost or forget about their primary goal or responsibilities while living a fast in such places. i agree that some of us do lose our way but i've had some companies with such guys as well and i don't see them losing their morality though. most of such get frustrated upon our arrival at the states and start to think that the only thing that matters is money. so coz of such mentality too, people try to abandon their educational career and choose to pursue the money-making path. no matter what the final goal is money anyway, so why only education as they way to reach it. america has provided lots of opportunities and they wanna utilize it on their comfort. so why should anyone get bothered by that?

although the time in NLC were not so sweet, i'll treasure my days over there. i know, how hard the students work with their life in threat just to help their parents and collect some good funds for their higher education. so what's wrong being independent? what's wrong to enjoy with the money they make? whether they party or get a new ride for themselves.

i'm not encouraging everyone 2 go to NLC. just trying to share the views of some of my companions. analyzing things is different but blaming on the choice of the ppl is completely unfare. so although i graduate from the university, will i b regarded underqulified just because i earned a part of it from a community college?
