I don't have the knack to read long articles because, to be honest, i doze off pretty quickly but this piece is rather intriguing. I find your writing skills impressive especially the satirical yet amusing references. You related the grim side of subsistence in US for Nepalese (students) profoudly but inclusion of some success stories could have been more inspiring. This article though is a reality check for students in Nepal aiming to come here in search of prosperity (especially financial). I believe young people backhome are very ill-informed about the standards of lives many (rather most) nepalese students are living in. If they know the truth and think they are up for all the struggles, good for them. Otherwise just forcing oneself to come here without any planning is I belive an utter waste of time and money.

 Good JOB with the article. Cheers.
