Axara & Rockey01,

I can totally support you guys on having a concern on it, I am not trying to convince anyone with saying that doing undergrads in US is stupidity but my only concern is time. We know that Nepali students are hard worker, they dont depend on their family money for all the financial support out here, but Time is always money,

Let me ask you are u willing to spend 7 yrs on undergrads rather than completing in 4 or 5 yrs and enjoying the rest of the year, you might be thinking even when we are studying we are enjoying, people enjoy to hide their emotion feelings, pain, sorrow. I dont wanna think twice before spending a good amount of money on something I like, thinking that will affect my college fees. Eg-- I go to a mall, do some window shopping finally I see a sunglass, which I really liked which cost around $200, coz of me studying in college my first concerns become the financial burden that I have rather than being my own satisfaction.

Axara, I never thought that I will apply for H1, but looking at the current scenario, I dont wanna keep on joining colleges with just a fear of maintaining my status, Its the first biggest concern for us, so that later we can have a good night sleep, not thinking how will my I maintain my status. Even nowadays getting H1 has become a real pain, but with some concentration and research from my side I filled H1 before their was lottery for higher degree, that was all coz my right timing in the right place. It matters dude, when u are planning to settle in US for long term it matters, completing undergrads with all the pain, most of them dont want to suffer the pain in masters and they return back to Nepal, and the one who apply for master, work their ass off just to get the first semester fees paid.

I totally agree that coming on undergrads people learn more, but on that age of life you dont want to have that much of burden in your life, as on that level most of teenagers wants to relax and joy, as tht age will never return back. I dont want to personally go through tht phase, as we all know when we enter the real market of work their is no more joy and relaxation left, we must compromise in various ways.
