Let me give you some proper direction on this matter! Here are the steps that you can follow;

1. Log out.

2.Get yourself a feminine nickname such as, lonely_girl  etc

3. Change your title to something like, "Alone in this crazy world" or " never ending highways"

After you have done that use the same content that uve used before. And trust me there would be more then 20+ postings here. Few would even take the initiative to email you. And some would even throw their phone number.

             From my experience when it comes to helping someone, significant number of  nepalese step back. We are selfish creature we would only help if we need something in return. Thats the way life goes here, thus giving you a heads up. I am sori if you feel that i'm making fun of your situation but i'm stating the bitter truth that you need to grasp early. Never bother to ask help from your family relatives. They are only good to talk on the phone. Thats all. Even if they make 100K dont bother to ask them for any monetiry help or anything else. They wont even pick up your phone the moment they sense that you are in trouble and they might need to write you a check.(may not apply in all cases)

            Here are few things that would get you started irrespective to where ever you may reside now.

1. Go to any where in college and aks if they are hiring, cafeteria or atheletics department or anywhere on campus. Grab whatever you get dont worry about the pay.

2. Ask them for employment letter thus you could apply for social security. (if you already have one then ignore 1 and 2). Then apply for a Identification card  or Driver's lisence in DMV or whereever they issue one.

3.After that you can apply for credit card. Go to any bank and apply for a secured credit card. This is the safest way. Put down $500 they would give you $500 credit line use it for a year. Then they would increse to $1000 or something likewise and give you your initial deposit back. Or another way to apply is call citi bank and pick one of their student credit cards and mention that you are a engineering student. Always pay your monthly payment on time and never miss one.

Listen nepalicyko, there is so much more to it. It takes time for everthing . Best of luck and Welcome to America.

 

Good luck
