Elixir, yeah, Bay Area seems to be my target as of now but then again, I'm on a lookout for more options.

Geda_gudi, I went to school in the midwest and I don't like the cold weather. Actually, I can't stand snow at all. A little is alright but snow for 5-6 months is absolutely intolerable. I've been to Chicago 8-10 times and yeah, I loved it. Most of my collegemates are from Chicago tara I don't have any close ties with any Nepalese living in Chicago area.

Also, I can't really think of Johns Hopkins. Of course, it'd be nice to get into one of those prestigious colleges haha but I really don't stand a chance. And I truly appreciate your feedback. It's really refreshing to read some additional tips and suggestions ( yours were more desirable than cosmo's but then again, he's probably more informed about the area since he's been living there for a long time ).

And yeah, football and sports is a must. I remember playing Soccer with Tibetans when I was in Bay Area and I managed to play 2-3 cricket matches with Desis and other South Indians too.

Again, I appreciate your repsonse. I suppose, I'll have more ideas once I visit Baltimore in about 3 weeks time and after meeting some Nepalese.

For the time being, I'm gonna start looking into Towson and College Park.
