<p>I live in the insufferably hot region of desert that is Kuwait and constantly moan about the state of our weather - in the last few days we've had an unpleasant combination of humidity, dust and rain...all in one day! Anyway, I plan on attending Stanford in the fall where I hope to make good use of my growing collection of shiny flip-flops. I love flip-flops. :D</p>
<p>Hey Everyone!
it's about time for this thread, good idea nkay.
My name is Dan, I'm from Israel, I go to TAU (Tel Aviv University), might join the student exchange program, if so then probably to the US...</p>
<p>Hey everyone!
I'm Iranian (born and live in the U.S., though) and will be attending UConn's Honors program this fall as a molecular and cell bio major.</p>
<p>Hey :)</p>
<p>I'm half-Iraqi half-Jordan, and I currently reside in Amman.</p>
<p>I'm in the process of picking a school, and by the looks of things, I believe I'll be heading to the University of Waterloo in the fall to double-major in Honors Pure Mathematics and Computer Engineering.</p>
<p>Hey guys! :)</p>
<p>devious, I'm half Jordanian too, on my dad's side. :D I'm going to Amman over the summer to see my family before I leave.</p>
<p>Good luck with you all!</p>
<p>Jordanian on my mother's side here. :D</p>
<p>This summer is gonna be great (or at least I hope so). Have you been to Amman recently?</p>
<p>Yep! I flew over there for a weekend in March just to see my grandparents, whom I hadn't visited in a looong time. Great trip. The weather was amazing, the air smelled wonderful, and we spotted the king!</p>
<p>even i can go in Jordan... haha... :-)</p>
<p>ya but eilat's much nicer lol</p>
<p>haven't been there since my senior year class trip, we had a 3 day trip to Eilat... that was so much fun...
have you ever been there? where are you from?</p>
<p>of course ive been there..many times... its very nice but only when its full... im from europe</p>
<p>are you jewish / israeli?
hope you don't mind me asking, where in europe? i've heard many people from sweden and norway come to Eilat during the cold european winter...</p>
<p>Hey!
I'm Indian...I live in Oman though..and yes..we don't like to talk about the weather either! :P</p>
<p>You'll be in good company though..flip-flops are THE in thing in the US...that's one thing I noticed when I visited.</p>
<p>The good thing being from the middle-east is that the summers there won't compare....but the winters will kill...which is why I'm heading for the south! :D</p>
<p>I know! I'm going to be laughing at people complaining about the summer "heat." Winters I won't have to encounter, but I'll probably find the chilly summer nights freezing, haha. Which college are you going to, nt?</p>
<p>I'm going to Duke in NC.
It only snows twice a year...and only a few cms..
The coldest it gets is bearable. So I'll be fine.
What about you?</p>
<p>I'm syrian, probably going to Georgetown this fall.</p>
<p>Am from bahrain .. dunno about my chances in anywhere but i will spend one year in university of Bahrain and then move to University of MIchigan I guess .. i just need some preperations for extra SAT II subjects , i currently have math level IIC 780 , chemistry 800 physics 790. I might it take one in Literature.</p>
<p>Are you all private schoolers .. for those from kuwait ? does the country provide outstanding students scholarships.My school gpa is 98.5 % and am aiming for medicine or chemistry but there are no chances to study abroad, i mean to get financial aid or studenship to anywhere from the country. So can I get one from the kuwaiti goverment ? they already donate 5 scholarships from a kuwaiti fund each year , but i dont think i can beat the bush around anyone .. ? i would be greatful if u can ask me about this.</p>
