Thinking about studying in the USA?
As an international student and Computer Science graduate in the United States, I share practical knowledge and personal experience to help students better understand the study-abroad journey.
A Little About My Journey
I was once where you are now.
Thinking about studying abroad brings excitement—but also a lot of questions. Which university should I choose? How much will it cost? Where can I find scholarships? What will life actually be like?
I had many of those same questions before beginning my own journey. Moving to another country for education meant adapting to a new environment, meeting people from different cultures, and learning how to become more independent.
This page is not about selling unrealistic dreams. It is a place where I share lessons and experiences from my own journey as an international student and Computer Science graduate.
