I've been in Omaha for a while... it used to be different, as far as finding jobs and working w/out papers.. however, things have changed.. i'm not saying u can't come here and study.. but, from the job prospects, it has definately changed from how it used to be... there r lots of jobs, however, for one to get the jobs, u better have a social security, be able to drive (no good public transportation)... things r same wherever u go in US, however, i feel like when u go to place like NY, TX, CA, there r lots of Desi restaurants/gas statations/motel where u can get cash paid and have less to worry about being in trouble w/ INS... i'd a cousin that went to UNK (University of Nebraska at Kearney) of which i've heard good things.. it's not that far from Omaha.. it's almost i think half the cost of UNO.. and i've heard u get more scholorship, on-campus jobs and for summer u can go out of the state to do summer job that'll be sufficient for u to study for the rest of the year.. and, if u r still planning on coming to Omaha, u can always come to UNO so that u'll get the VISA and then transfer to Metro Community college (www.mccneb.edu) and finish up 2 yrs there and move on somewhere else... hope this helps and good luck.
