I came to the US in 1983 -- forty years ago - as a 22-year-old grad student. I agree with pretty much everything you said. The isolation and homesickness I felt initially were brutal. Back then there was no WhatsApp or other media. People in India didn't even know much about the US. My family back in India didn't have a phone until 1988, five years after I left India. I wrote and mailed a letter to my mom and dad every Monday. It took about 10 days (when everything went well) for the letter to reach India; and if they replied right away (which wasn't even possible), I would hear back from them in another 10 days. I developed toughness of the mind and overcame an acute sense of regret.
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it’d been back then! How hardcore you have to be to stay in the US for five years without having any sort of communication with family.
@@NCore_._ I couldn't. I passionately wanted to do my PhD in physics. Don't ask me why. Today, I don't encourage anyone, including my own children, to do PhD. There was another reason: In 1982 I had gotten a well-paying job (by Indian standards at least) at the RBI at the ripe old age of 21! I resigned from that job and left for the US. Returning empty handed was not an option for me. To complicate matters, my PhD took an unusually long time (10 years) because I had a huge fight with my first thesis advisor and I had to start over in January, 1989. Well, such is life. What'm I gonna do? Once I got settled in, things began to change...and I really liked the US. Besides, my three daughters grew up here, and it would make no sense for me to move back to India.
Thank you for presenting a very true picture of the struggles & challenges faced by international students in any country & not just the USA 🇺🇸. All should know what they are signing up for. Well done 👍
Good job. I have been in the USA for more than 50 years for the first 6 years as a student, and then as a professor in an engineering college. Yes, mental and emotional toughness is the number one quality required to be successful in the USA because it is a rich and very competitive country. So get out of the nest early and enjoy being an individual. In India, one always moves with friends. In the USA, you are on your own and always on your toes. As Mr.Nehru saiwdw " Success often goes to those who dare and act
good observation Sir. We are from India. can u suggest some economical budget friendly univ for undergrad in Biomedical Eng. What is the real diff in studying in colleve versus univ in USA? Thanks in advance
I don't agree with the statement that in india you always move with friends. I have been alone for the last decade without any friends far away from my family in a different state. This was during my late teens & entire 20s when most people have the time of their lives. I was surrounded by extremely selfish people who would play mind games and when my guard was down backstab me,gang up on me. There was a time i was severely depressed and wanted to kill my self. I worked on myself alone without anybody's help & being alone has definitely made me a lot stronger. So it really doesn't matter which country you are in, when life wants to f*ck you over it will whether it is india, usa or any other country. You have to struggle in life no matter which country you are in.
First things first…always do your bachelors in the US if you are doing engineering. You don’t need masters right away. If you need it, start working and do your master’s part time. Work experience and progressive practical knowledge gain are more important if your intent is to make money. Also, life long networks are formed in Bachelors and not much in the Masters programs, especially the professional masters programs. If you are into research or teaching then doing masters and PhD in the US makes sense. Note some sensitive areas of research are off limits for foreigners. So if you want to pursue such research, you need to establish longevity in the US so the security agencies can verify you. This would again mean you try and do your high school and bachelors in the US. And then join a national laboratory that pays for your masters degree. If you do expensive masters here, you may not get your money’s worth.

Ma'am please guide me. I'm from an Indian middle class family and is it possible to earn next semester fees in USA for an MBA student from not so famous University ??
The problem for students in usa is more to do with tackling studies and keeping it on track most of the time because a small mistake in an assignment can literally bring down grades so students usually are either occupied in their own world or worried about their future so they literally have no time or patience or want of helping their peers or any newcomers.
Come and see in India where you get higher marks which are just useless.. than unemployment will hit you hard, than if you got a job than society will hit you hard, your talent will die alone, and than you got alot of depression. And yes that it..
Nah it depends on your degree, I studied in the USA and now I am in med school in Europe. Med students are super helpful to each other despite of having a busy schedule :/ It depends on which profession you want to go into. Most med students are selfless and want to help as the profession requires you to help and be selfless... I studied early childhood development in the USA and my classmates where not the brightest to be honest and not really helpful.
@@prisha88 In India it give you an opportunity to invest time and improve knowledge. If you want knowledge work hard . I don' t know the teaching method in technical courses. But in commerce fundamentals are not taught at the lower level only at higher levels.
Incorrect. The professors and peers are helpful if you need help. It is expected that you try your best to solve the issue and then go to them only after that which is the way is should be anyway.
I've been through the process he's describing. It's not difficult per se if you look at it the right way. You came here looking for a better quality of life, which is not guaranteed just because you're in the US. It is just easier to reach that goal in the US because with the same amount of effort, you won't be able to do it in India. It can be tough here but it's definitely not as bad as you potray it to be. I guess it comes down to your background and thought process.
Bhai Companies H1b Sposnsor kar degi Indian Freshers ka after MS in CS ya bhot problems ati he...India se bhi zyada competion or problem he kya Job Dhundhne me Ya easy he USa mein...Please sach batana
@@guptasagar694 I came to the US directly after bachelor's as a fresher. I graduated during the peak of COVID. It took me 3 months to find a job after graduation. But I did get a lot of interviews. If I did well, I would've gotten the job earlier. So, yeah I still think it's easier to get a job in the US than in India. H1B is subjective. For the first job I wasn't thinking of h1. I just wanted to get a job. You have to find companies that sponsor H1 and apply to those . I have h1b since last year. So, everything went well for me even with a bad start.
Right of the bat !! It’s feel like all my memories came back. It’s a struggle but at the end when you land your first job and push it for an year you feel like it’s all worth it. But an honest talk. I really appreciated this video.
As a parent I think you did a fantastic job in showing kids what it takes, kids have a totally different picture and I so happy you have explained it extremely well
Great info. I came in 1992 - exactly what you say. Back then, there was not even internet. Applying for jobs by mailing paper resumes. Your video brings me good but sad memories, but was all worth it. The hard work certainly paid off at the end. My kids are in college now, all paid for by me, etc. they have no clue what it was like back in the days. I will have to let them watch your videos.
Roommates can make or break your masters journey. But not only in masters, roomamates are a problem everywhere. They don't allow you to do anything productive. You sleep at 10 and wake up at 4 am, well the roommate will see a movie or talk with girlfriend till 3 in the night with lights on. Gone is your sleep. You want to come from work and take rest and then study. Well the roommate has invited his friends to chill and drink daru till midnight. Gone is your study. Roommates are a menace.
I think having a private room ........bedroom that I'm talking about is an advantage that's why I choose University in college town instead of university in flashy city
Seriously,my room mate talks to someone till 3am too,it is so annoying,hw talks like 5-6 hours about random shit and watches movies and really unproductive
wow Yudi....so very practical and real...somebody taking this effort to bring out the nitty gritties is of great help as my son plans to pursue education there....your suggestions are pearls of wisdom!!
Roomate problem is real- my son went through that but on the other hand they took good care of him when he sprained his ankle within 2 weeks of reaching the US!!
This video touched me Yudi, I am emotionally broke right now due to rejections. Sometimes it's really frustrating. But finally, it's me I need to move on and keep applying for jobs SMARTLY. Thanks for the video buddy.
Yudi - You have nicely put forth all the points. Having said that in life you work hard, face difficulties and resolve them in the best possible way you can. The ups and downs in life is what makes life. I came to USA almost 45 years ago and had to go thru difficulties but generally found a way out to experience life! This would be true in India, USA or anywhere else.
Pritesh Jagani is THE 'bade bhaiya' we all deserved 😅 Thanks for speaking out the reality, the truth with utmost honesty. Thanks again bhaiya!✌🏻 Love from 🇮🇳❤
@@Drganguli I live in San Jose I pay $2000 for my separate dorm. In which I can barely walk but the thing is my mental peace is more important than anything else. I know it is extremely expensive, I can barely afford but you have your privacy and nobody can talk to you l.
@@mk-rt2cz Yes, privacy is certainly important but many dorm rooms need a room-mate. The room mate can prevent boredom and reduce mental health problem among younger undergrad students.
This system is there in IITs too. It's called continuous evaluation. So, students are thoroughly bombarded with course project, assignments, quizzes, mid sems n so on.
@@TheLegendDavidSharpe IIT is not a university, it's an engineering college. It's specifically for Engineering and technology courses. IIT Bombay has been ranked 47th globally in Engineering and Technology in the QS World University Rankings 2023.
All the things you have said are correct and accurate. You just said my thinking. I am living in Ohio for my bachelor's and i am totally agreed what you said in this video. Great man ! Thank you for information.
Some of the points that you have made are so true. I had the worst room mates when I was doing my masters and that made my life so difficult. I wish I had this information earlier.
Each and every point you give is 100% true. I’m a international student I took all these for granted when I started now when some one asked me for suggestions I emphasis almost all the point you which you have mentioned. Thanks for making such videos.
Nice points Yudi. That is the harsh reality. Groupism exists and people will not like you. People will manipulate you and will be jealous of you. Our job is to concentrate on studies , find a job , settle loan and settle in life.
Hey Yudi! I'm currently studying in DJ Sanghvi under Information Technology same as you IK. Glad to see you helping others and making content that shows the reality. Really happy to see someone living their dreams from my college itself! Cheers :)
Dude your admission will based off of board marks aur mht cet marks? Or jee? I too am looking forward for pursuing it engineering in colleges from mumbai so any suggestions are welcomed
Chance of getting a work Visa is about 10% which means, many students will be forced to take the CPT route. This is a very difficult route! Dear students, please be aware! Life with CPT status is tough! Thinking about Green Card is out of Question. Basically, settling down in life gets delayed!! Dear students, Be aware of this tough route!
Sir, you seem a well experienced person. Please guide me. Is it worth to go to US on study visa for MBA at not so famous University?? And how to earn next semester fees? I'm from middle class
@@Philosophy824 it only worth when your family can handle their life without you. Can you earning? Are you helping your family financially? Can they live without any contribution from you for minimum 5 years? Remember you have to pay the loan as well So if everything above is no issue then people can go, else stay
Thank you very very much dear Brother Yudi for this awareness video. This will save many many students from all kinds of troubles which might harm them instead can face life victoriously towards achieving their goal.
Great content. Especially selecting roommate. It's very true. Very useful information for upcoming students.👍 Please make video regarding safety recently shoot out incident of an indian student who work in petrol bunk and how the parents are worried . Advice them not to work outside campus. You should make a separate video. No one can do better than you. 👍
He is giving a reality check world is not a fairy tail kiddo don’t assume with the mentality of jo honga dekha jayenga you have to plan everything and most imp the life style of India and us is far way different I have a friend who quit studying in nyu because of all this problem so keep it that in your mind
It’s absolutely true whatever you explained in video. The journey is roller coaster ride. I came here 2019 and I understood that. But eventually get used to it. Moreover, I got a lot of poker face person in my team which is more dangerous than groupism.
I am so sorry to hear that I’ve been when I was 22 in 1989 times were so difficult I believe grass is greener on the other side until you see it good luck
@@YudiJ He is doing good, thank you very much. You are doing a great job. Keep it up. Yours is the one of the few channels I have subscribed to never disappointed. How is your Golden Retriever?
This kind of grading/assignment/quiz system works in IITs also in India….. also whatever u said about other part like roommates/ friends etc everything we face in India also if we stay away from our home …. And all this things u told, majority of them are applicable for any NITs/IITs/govt college in India But you’ll get habituated to it sooner or later.
@Yudi J, what you said about life in U.S. is one of biggest challenges I have faced in years. I was already mentally prepared and learning to independent on my own. I trust my god's plan and taking care of the problems. But one thing, I had not learn was the challenges of studying. Their methods are so different as compared to here and having the internships, jobs on campus and getting the job is quite challenging. Thanks for sharing the most important information, I will prepare for my next 2nd masters. :-)
Ma'am , please guide. I'm from very middle class background and I want to know if I can afford next year fees there for my MBA at some not so famous University ranked 234 in US ?? Please guide me
Indians don't like this study and learn they like to crack it, they are not prepared for American University, Yash Mittra caught cheating in 2 weeks kicked out of school for one semester and deported from America
I am usa now India is doing good I advise stay in India cause usa economically changed since I came 30 yrs back cause everything got costly not easy to settled down.lots of people stucked here can not buy house cause real estate so costly not like 1990’s usa. Lol
How can you decide for others. You can narrate your experiences and perceptions and there ends the story. There are very few success stories mentioned and few disaster stories too. Luck doesn’t change by simply changing your location!
Bro, 90-95% of Chinese students are coming back to China after just completing their studies and only 10-15% of Indian students (NRI) students are coming back to India any thoughts? or you're just hard-riding dollars...
I think it depends on lifestyle people want to have. I think trend is going to be that more people will go to India as India is becoming the biggest tech hub but again its all personal choice.
@@Arin9626 true this is what they do every night 100k australins are facing homelessness and they are still allowing other countries people to migrate in Australia mostly indian(NRIs)
SAME TO SAME IN AUSTRALIA 😢I am a Mom and my son is in Australia. Students face exactly same to same situations in Australia. Hearing from you touched me. So children think many times going abroad for studies .
Thank you for adressing in ENGLISH as I'm an south indian who doesn't speak Hindi, unlike other youtubers who focus on covering Hindi viewers, very glad that I met your channel, and is there any way for me to contact for your guidance personally for me to do my masters in USA would be very helpful
You will experience a miniature version of all these issues when you move to big cities even within India. Just that the extent of certainity, familiarity and nearness to hometown is a lot better.
My advice to youngsters. Be grounded, don't get swayed by all. Do a thorough homework before embarking on this arduous journey which can make or break you. Your parents might have put in lot of their hard earned money or you could have obtained a huge loan that will be weighing down on you every minute. So so many things to consider before starting this journey. Unless you are mentally strong to be able to accept defeat do not embark on this.
The problem in American Universities mostly American Professors don't know how to teach but they mostly research oriented. For example I was a tutor in Graduate studies and Undergrad students were not doing well in Ststics, Strength of materials etc. After Tutoring on behalf of the Dept most became A students. A professor teaches me Boundary layer Theory. He Spends some time on math in Boundary layer, then hands out an computer assignment. You don't learn anything via programming , it is a waste of time. What a way to teach a course. I came to learn Boundary layer theory, just do some math for flow around cylinder and invoke a computer program is not a way to teach. Yes I know he is taking effort not to flood me with too much information. But if he really teaches well you could solve most assignments on your own with no effort. I think they failing to teach you well. It is as if they are on some pedestal and you are a student.
Thats why I choose to live in UAE earn decent money like 50k dollar pa no tax 😂 and then travel to India in every 2 months bring my parents over here anytime i want. It feels like living in India as so many good food choices even for vegetarian such as me.
I don't know about others but I would really like to take time to appreciate your efforts and it really touched me at 8:38 bro you just took out time to talk to random strangers who feel lonely...❤❤❤❤ lots of love man I don't know if I will ever need it but I am saving just in case...I am aiming to apply to colleges in US for my btech #2024
Hi Yudi, thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I have started mentally preparing my self, as I also coming to US in Fall 2023 in University of Arizona for MS DS. Any idea how is the course work and job opportunities there? Anything that i should be careful about?
Hey Yudi, please make a video about the current jobs scenario in the USA as people graduating in 2023 are struggling to get an Full time job and they didn't even got an internship. Should we come to the US in Fall 23 for our studies is it a good decision or we delay it for 1 yr
Hey! Yudi, yeah these concerns are real, please make a video on this, as we are in dilemma of whether to come or not for fall 2023 considering current job scenarios in US but also don't want to defer as don't want to wait one more long year as already waited a lot for this moment to come
@@YudiJ thanks for your response ❤️ I am planning to do MS in MIS and my program is of 11 months only that too starting in July, I will graduate by 1st June 2024, that's why I'm bit worried that by that time will things get better?
Extremely good work Yudi. You kept it very realistic. Heard the challenges from some of my relatives. Sometimes wonder is it really worth taking the trouble going thru this roller coaster ride. These days in India also they are offering great salaries. At least you stay connected to your roots. Because I heard this loneliness kind of continues in future as well especially when the next generation kids get busy trying to establish themselves
Exactly my point, you get good salaries, great lifestyle and education here as well then why put yourself through all that, you get to be close to your loved ones as well..
This prodigy finance thingy u might have to go through the interest rates once, it's 14% for me rn and ik few people who are with 15% or less than 17% aswell ,I personally won't recommend this nbfc
yeah they increase there according SOFR some time it's go high as 16% but without collateral if don't have option then it's the only way 🥲 but mpower is better than that
yeah but not many people have collateral or property so its good for them and here's the hack I will tell you which I need to make a dedicated video - just refinance the loan and your loan can be now 5-7%. So in short for someone who doesn;t have assests to get a loan this is probably really good for them.
Hi Yudi Im thinking of ms in us for fall of 2025 But im very much attached to my family and few of my elder brothers say that once u enter US,You are not going back to india,means get a full time job and then setttle in US Is it true majority of students who go for ms abroad dont return to india and settle abroad?😊
Bro, you were lucky that atleast you had a class and then time was given for assignment and test. My experience at IIT is - Day 1, 1st hour, sir came inside the class and gave a surprise test. 😂
Hey Yudi, Like everytime really a great video. I wanna ask regarding the roommate issue that you mentioned. How about staying alone by taking a 1bhk or a studio apartment. Any tips on that like finding affordable housing if one wants to stay alone and also any other complications that may come along with it and also if you recommend that or not?
your video about experiencing as an international student is absolutely informative and got matched while I I was in the Netherlands and Poland. #feeling loneliness bcz of groupism at work n University. I feel like u r talking my story .By Fall 2023, I am coming to USA at the Park University,Misouri for MBA.
Start applying campus jobs when you got admission. After you landed in USA you will realize that their it's highly competitive. I got my USA on campus job when I am in India.

The problem for students in usa is more to do with tackling studies and keeping it on track most of the time because a small mistake in an assignment can literally bring down grades so students usually are either occupied in their own world or worried about their future so they literally have no time or patience or want of helping their peers or any newcomers.
Come and see in India where you get higher marks which are just useless.. than unemployment will hit you hard, than if you got a job than society will hit you hard, your talent will die alone, and than you got alot of depression. And yes that it..
Nah it depends on your degree, I studied in the USA and now I am in med school in Europe. Med students are super helpful to each other despite of having a busy schedule :/ It depends on which profession you want to go into. Most med students are selfless and want to help as the profession requires you to help and be selfless... I studied early childhood development in the USA and my classmates where not the brightest to be honest and not really helpful.

I don' t know the teaching method in technical courses. But in commerce fundamentals are not taught at the lower level only at higher levels.
Incorrect. The professors and peers are helpful if you need help. It is expected that you try your best to solve the issue and then go to them only after that which is the way is should be anyway.
@@xxxx-tb4de hello robot
I've been through the process he's describing. It's not difficult per se if you look at it the right way. You came here looking for a better quality of life, which is not guaranteed just because you're in the US. It is just easier to reach that goal in the US because with the same amount of effort, you won't be able to do it in India. It can be tough here but it's definitely not as bad as you potray it to be. I guess it comes down to your background and thought process.
Bhai Companies H1b Sposnsor kar degi Indian Freshers ka after MS in CS ya bhot problems ati he...India se bhi zyada competion or problem he kya Job Dhundhne me Ya easy he USa mein...Please sach batana
@@guptasagar694 I came to the US directly after bachelor's as a fresher. I graduated during the peak of COVID. It took me 3 months to find a job after graduation. But I did get a lot of interviews. If I did well, I would've gotten the job earlier. So, yeah I still think it's easier to get a job in the US than in India. H1B is subjective. For the first job I wasn't thinking of h1. I just wanted to get a job. You have to find companies that sponsor H1 and apply to those . I have h1b since last year. So, everything went well for me even with a bad start.

So true!

Hi Yudi, whatever you said said is true...I can resonate with every single word that you just spoke...feels like my mirror image is speaking to me.
thank you!
As a parent I think you did a fantastic job in showing kids what it takes, kids have a totally different picture and I so happy you have explained it extremely well
Great info. I came in 1992 - exactly what you say. Back then, there was not even internet. Applying for jobs by mailing paper resumes. Your video brings me good but sad memories, but was all worth it. The hard work certainly paid off at the end. My kids are in college now, all paid for by me, etc. they have no clue what it was like back in the days. I will have to let them watch your videos.
Roommates can make or break your masters journey. But not only in masters, roomamates are a problem everywhere. They don't allow you to do anything productive. You sleep at 10 and wake up at 4 am, well the roommate will see a movie or talk with girlfriend till 3 in the night with lights on. Gone is your sleep. You want to come from work and take rest and then study. Well the roommate has invited his friends to chill and drink daru till midnight. Gone is your study. Roommates are a menace.
True story
haha ya so true.... especially daru party wala scene hits home
Bhai jab Ghar wale ne 50 Lakh ka loan liya ho to yeh Saari gayi apki comod mein.

Seriously,my room mate talks to someone till 3am too,it is so annoying,hw talks like 5-6 hours about random shit and watches movies and really unproductive
Thanks for sharing your experiences. One has to be mentally prepared for coming to U S. as ther are many issues you've not imagined.
Living in US may be difficult but living in overpopulated Indian villages and cities is on different level.
wow Yudi....so very practical and real...somebody taking this effort to bring out the nitty gritties is of great help as my son plans to pursue education there....your suggestions are pearls of wisdom!!
Hi Yudi, Such a vital video every student like me planning to come to US must know. Thank you

India is good.. stay there
Roomate problem is real- my son went through that but on the other hand they took good care of him when he sprained his ankle within 2 weeks of reaching the US!!
True!
This video touched me Yudi, I am emotionally broke right now due to rejections. Sometimes it's really frustrating. But finally, it's me I need to move on and keep applying for jobs SMARTLY. Thanks for the video buddy.
Absolutely! Keep going. I have made videos on cold emailing, interviewing and getting interviews - hopefully they help you as well.
Yudi thank you for the video.
God bless u .. hope u get what u want soon .. blessing from a mother
You dont say.
Yudi - You have nicely put forth all the points. Having said that in life you work hard, face difficulties and resolve them in the best possible way you can. The ups and downs in life is what makes life. I came to USA almost 45 years ago and had to go thru difficulties but generally found a way out to experience life! This would be true in India, USA or anywhere else.

If you got money then have a separate room to avoid all kind of conflicts with room mate.
Apartments cost 3-5 k per month in places like sfo and New York. You need to share your room to make ends meet.
@@Drganguli that's so cheap. I pay 10k rupees in Bangalore 😉
@@soul2197 well 3-5k is in dollars 😅
@@Drganguli I live in San Jose I pay $2000 for my separate dorm. In which I can barely walk but the thing is my mental peace is more important than anything else. I know it is extremely expensive, I can barely afford but you have your privacy and nobody can talk to you l.
@@mk-rt2cz Yes, privacy is certainly important but many dorm rooms need a room-mate. The room mate can prevent boredom and reduce mental health problem among younger undergrad students.
This system is there in IITs too. It's called continuous evaluation. So, students are thoroughly bombarded with course project, assignments, quizzes, mid sems n so on.

Some of the points that you have made are so true. I had the worst room mates when I was doing my masters and that made my life so difficult. I wish I had this information earlier.
Each and every point you give is 100% true. I’m a international student I took all these for granted when I started now when some one asked me for suggestions I emphasis almost all the point you which you have mentioned. Thanks for making such videos.
Ohhh Yudi. I could picture my entire journey while you were saying those things. Thanks for sharing. This is very important for incoming students.

Nice points Yudi. That is the harsh reality. Groupism exists and people will not like you. People will manipulate you and will be jealous of you. Our job is to concentrate on studies , find a job , settle loan and settle in life.

This kind of grading/assignment/quiz system works in IITs also in India….. also whatever u said about other part like roommates/ friends etc everything we face in India also if we stay away from our home …. And all this things u told, majority of them are applicable for any NITs/IITs/govt college in India But you’ll get habituated to it sooner or later.

@Yudi J, what you said about life in U.S. is one of biggest challenges I have faced in years. I was already mentally prepared and learning to independent on my own. I trust my god's plan and taking care of the problems. But one thing, I had not learn was the challenges of studying. Their methods are so different as compared to here and having the internships, jobs on campus and getting the job is quite challenging. Thanks for sharing the most important information, I will prepare for my next 2nd masters. :-)
Ma'am , please guide. I'm from very middle class background and I want to know if I can afford next year fees there for my MBA at some not so famous University ranked 234 in US ?? Please guide me
Indians don't like this study and learn they like to crack it, they are not prepared for American University, Yash Mittra caught cheating in 2 weeks kicked out of school for one semester and deported from America

Anti state?
such a wonderful presentation of the scenario....
You will experience a miniature version of all these issues when you move to big cities even within India. Just that the extent of certainity, familiarity and nearness to hometown is a lot better.
True
My advice to youngsters. Be grounded, don't get swayed by all. Do a thorough homework before embarking on this arduous journey which can make or break you. Your parents might have put in lot of their hard earned money or you could have obtained a huge loan that will be weighing down on you every minute. So so many things to consider before starting this journey. Unless you are mentally strong to be able to accept defeat do not embark on this.
The problem in American Universities mostly American Professors don't know how to teach but they mostly research oriented. For example I was a tutor in Graduate studies and Undergrad students were not doing well in Ststics, Strength of materials etc.
After Tutoring on behalf of the Dept most became A students.
A professor teaches me Boundary layer Theory. He
Spends some time on math in Boundary layer, then hands out an computer assignment. You don't learn anything via programming , it is a waste of time. What a way to teach a course. I came to learn Boundary layer theory, just do some math for flow around cylinder and invoke a computer program is not a way to teach.
Yes I know he is taking effort not to flood me with too much information. But if he really teaches well you could solve most assignments on your own with no effort.
I think they failing to teach you well. It is as if they are on some pedestal and you are a student.
You are too good and and doing great work showing the reality for our loved ones ...can't thank you in words!!!
Thank you 🙏🏼🙌🏻
Thats why I choose to live in UAE earn decent money like 50k dollar pa no tax 😂 and then travel to India in every 2 months bring my parents over here anytime i want. It feels like living in India as so many good food choices even for vegetarian such as me.

Extremely good work Yudi. You kept it very realistic. Heard the challenges from some of my relatives. Sometimes wonder is it really worth taking the trouble going thru this roller coaster ride. These days in India also they are offering great salaries. At least you stay connected to your roots. Because I heard this loneliness kind of continues in future as well especially when the next generation kids get busy trying to establish themselves
Exactly my point, you get good salaries, great lifestyle and education here as well then why put yourself through all that, you get to be close to your loved ones as well..
You Explained Everything just like an Elder Brother would.
This prodigy finance thingy u might have to go through the interest rates once, it's 14% for me rn and ik few people who are with 15% or less than 17% aswell ,I personally won't recommend this nbfc
Are you in US itself?
yeah they increase there according SOFR some time it's go high as 16% but without collateral if don't have option then it's the only way 🥲 but mpower is better than that
yeah but not many people have collateral or property so its good for them and here's the hack I will tell you which I need to make a dedicated video - just refinance the loan and your loan can be now 5-7%. So in short for someone who doesn;t have assests to get a loan this is probably really good for them.
Yeah @Shubham exactly my point
