<p>Well what are you involved in?/passionate about?</p>
<p>If the college can verify it through your school, I don't see why it would be a problem.</p>
<p>I mean, for me, I've been able to fill out the EC parts quite easily even though I'm also in the Indian system.</p>
<p>There is an International student services,which provide student loans upto US$150000,for study in Canada and US....is that true???</p>
<p>k_twin:hey,you must have taken part in school acivities whole heartedly,but I couldn't do that even if I desparately wanted it,coz of the IIT couchings...in 11th and 12th......and u know how ARE they!!!!</p>
<p>so,I did activities (most of them personal and very few from school for which I dont have any certificate!),thats y I needed help.....</p>
<p>DhanPrad: see my answers below</p>
<p>1) How much could i earn in I year ?</p>
<p>It depends on how many hours you work. A Typical campus job will net you between $2-$3 K.</p>
<p>2) Moving of campus would be of any help?</p>
<p>Many schools require freshman to stay on campus. If you move off campus, you have to think of rent, furniture and even transportation to and from your apartment to college. Unless you find roommates, the rent will be high.</p>
<p>Most towns in US are not comuter friendly.</p>
<p>3) coming back ot India during break or staying and workingfull time during hols which might be less costly.</p>
<p>Here again it depends on the kind of job you get. A typical low skill job will pay you about $8-$10/hr. In addition you have to think about transportation cost + living expenses + taxes. Internships pay well, but as a frosh + student visa they might be hard to come by. Last year my son had an internship and his net was about 4.5K.</p>
<p>You might be able to make 6-8 k per year, but do not count or rely on it.</p>

GoodNight</p>
<p>We aren't spamming on TiT#15:rolleyes:</p>
<p>herez a topic ;) how is duke for internationals ? karan89 says "duke is not a good match" for indians ? any comments on this?</p>
<p>I don't think so. It is true that majority of the kids at Duke are WASPs but that doesn't means that Indians will feel out of place there. You don't require an old money heritage to have fun or to make friends. And mind you most of the Indians there are no less than Indian equivalent of WASPs.</p>
<p>WASP??? The bugs??
;)</p>
<p>Yeah,there is no uni(esp. a uni like Duke) that is ''not a match'' to Indians...</p>
