Hmm,,try not to get it under some south asian prof.. Legally a student can work only 20hrs a week during school days and that's what the TA/RA ship pays for,,but then most of the asian ("south") live with this slave driver mentality towards a south asian student that he expects him to put more than 40hrs a week. and the scenario is completely different with a caucasian student,,even the asians (not south)

haha..anyways i understand that getting RA/TA ship is a big deal in itself while at home..anyways best of luck
