there is a large enrollment of international student body in UAH,  most of them are in engineering.  there is a good size nepalese in and around huntsville and few nepalese students attending UAH or nearby schools.  i don't know about their mba program.  it is not as known as engineering.  also i suspect most of the mba students have a full time job, so it is probably geared towards working adults.  i myself went to a small private university to get my mba, while i was working full time as an engineer.  one thing to remember is, companies may not come looking to recruit UAH mba on campus.  that's a difference between well known mba program and others.  no one came to my school.  also if you are on f-1 status, that will make it more difficult to get a job directly out of mba program.  overall it is a good school.

as for jobs,  you need a car to get around.  not a very good public transportation.  maybe you can find some on campus work, or if lucky in your business department.  i have seen nepalese students working in a indian grocery store, restaurants.  once you are here and settled and know somebosy, you may be able to get a decent job in a good companies.  it depends on your undergraduate education.  there are plenty of high tech, defence companies in huntsville area.  i am sure there are rooms available, but again once you get to know ppl, you may find a roomate.  i would not make huntsville the first priority though.  i have been in your shoes, try to find a place where you can rely on public transporation and jobs.
