USA has always been one of the most popular choices among international students for abroad studies. Indian students are no exceptions and have chosen the country time and again for pursuing higher studies because of their good infrastructure, research facilities, acceptance in the international job market and the likes.
Getting accepted in the USA institutions is quite tough, so is getting a VISA that will make the stay in the USA possible. But what is really tough is getting a hang of the lifestyle of the country and an accommodation over there.
We at Oasis Migration can eliminate all the possible immigration hurdles for our clients thanks to our well spread network in India and in other countries.
All the students who plan on going to USA for the higher studies should keep in mind the cultural change that they will face from that of India. The American culture has independent people and an Indian student will have to be the same in the foreign country and be interactive enough with the people over there.
The next issue which we think troubles the international students is the knowledge about the transportation system. The country has a fine transportation system with busses nd cabs whose details we provide our clients for their convenience.
Once a student is done chalking out a plan regarding the adjustment problems and about the courses, VISA and the budget, they need to shift their focus on the accommodation issue. The Indian students or for that matter any international student in USA has three main options regarding the accommodations.
One is on-campus dormitories, another is off-campus apartments and the third one is homestays.
Most US institutions send their students an orientation package to help them and especially in case of international students they give accommodations options. The on-campus dormitories are usually helpful for the new students as they do not need an access to a car for the commute to the institution in this way and also because they get an active social life. The meal plans in these places are most of the time very flexible making it easier for the new students to settle in.
In some cases on-campus living facilities are quite expensive and on some cases they are not there. That is where off-campus facilities come in which mainly include renting an apartment and sharing it with a roommate. This one is a tough job but not for Indian students since Oasis Migration's connections are at their disposal.
While choosing a place to stay it is important to take care of the location as a place very far from the campus is highly undesirable especially since an Indian student is unlikely to get a car.
Homestays are a good option for them who are unsure about living alone in a new country as this will allow them to live with an American family. This too needs to be close to the institution campus. Homestays are usually the best way for a student to truly soak in the American culture and enjoy it.
