Poor guy is asking a simple question and you guys are making a drama out of it. I guess Gwajoyo is right though. I mean it is just natural to seek familiar faces in the land of unknown, nothing wrong with that. When I was there kids used to goto LaGuardia College. Basically any other colleges under CUNY system as the tuition is reasonable there and few colleges (excluding LaGuardia) are really good. I know very few in Columbia, NYU, Hofstra and Manhattan as well. SUNY colleges also have few Nepalese.
