Folks, Correct me if iam wrong. Used to be omaha was a great place for student but like I said in everythread after 1997 INS RAID this went down the hill. Students used to work at First data resources (FDR) and oriental company(OTC) ( which was major for employer for students) but after one nepali guy got caught for scratching off Social security card they (OTC) quit hiring students. This thing was passed around in town and FDR quit hiring as well. Now no one goes to OTC coz its a chinise company but greencard holders will go and mail short at FDR. There are 2 indian restaurant where nepali student works. Other than that its hard to get a job. I would say its every where specially after 9-11 anyway. There are 30-35 nepalese student who are sponsored by the IT company (telemarketing basically) and are settled down. Bruce Lee if you can get admission at UDC. I know cost of living is little higher at Northrn va area but you will have better oppertunity getting off campus jobs and better oppertunity for getting internship. But its your call though. There is nothing against anyone here, if you don't like what i wrote here correct me will be accpted by the readers as well
