What Studying Abroad taught me about life
3

• My journey to international exposure started in
  the year 2007.
• Having secured admission to the University of
  Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC) for my MS in
  Finance, it was the first international exposure
  that I experienced.
• Understandably, stepping out of my nest for the
  first time and embarking upon this maiden journey
  taught me much more than just the fundamentals of
  finance.
• In hindsight, it became an experience and the
  year that overhauled my perspective of life.

• But in retrospection I think my decision to stay
  back at UIUC was one of the best decisions that I
  took in life.
• It is easy to guess that the cultural shock, the
  life style shock and the b-school pressure made
  my few initial months very tough at UIUC and made
  me more matured as well as ready to face the
  challenges that life posed for me.

• The unique manner of imparting knowledge to
  students by employing case studies wherever
  possible
• I think one of the best things about studying in
  the U.S. A. is that no matter what course you
  take, there is only way to learn CASE STUDIES.
• The beauty of a case study is that it really
  imparts a very practical approach to learning.
• And to top it up, one of the courses that I
  undertook dealt with portfolio management where
  we as a class actually managed one of our
  professors clients portfolio.

6

• The world-class infrastructure in US
  universities.
• There is no doubt that the way in which
  universities are designed in the US are just
  phenomenal.
• The kind of class rooms, libraries, research labs
  that they construct makes sure that we have no
  reason to not perform and study well.

7

• No matter how well you Study in USA, there will
  always be moments where you tend to feel like an
  immigrant, for instance- at the time of
  placements where most of the companies that come
  to campus are looking for a US citizen or a US
  green card holder, or at the time of securing
  your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card
  processed for Optional Practical Training (OPT)/
  Curricular Practical Training (CPT).
