Once I came here, I realized the difference of studying style between here and back in India. Indian education is theoretical and less practical experience is provided. In US, everything is based on the practical knowledge of the subject and these kids have definitely mastered their application skills. In general studying experience in USA has been a hard but an interesting job for me and because of that, it has helped me to broaden my views.
I had to give GRE and TOEFL to get into the US university. GRE needs at least a 3 month preparation and TOEFL needs around 10 days. GRE consists mainly of math and English. I did not attend any coaching class. Just took preparation tests of Dilip Oak Academy, Pune. A Visa is required for the US university. Visa interview was just for a minute or two. . I already had a research assistantship for 2 years of my masters program; so, it was easier for me to answer their questions about funding. Finding tickets thru a travel agency was easy. I had flown with Lufthansa airways, stayed at my relatives place for 10 days in NJ and then flew to Louisiana. Airline offered not the student fare but student allowance which allowed me to take 3 check-in bags for free instead of 2 bags. Baggage rules have changed and airline website is the best way to find out about updated rules. Indian Student Association for every university is very prompt in providing any support needed.

The program is very interesting and challenging.
Accommodation was not very easy to find. They provide you with a temporary accommodation for the first few days until you get your house.
On campus recruitments are done twice a year. Getting H1 visa after you get a job is the most difficult problem. So, we can apply only to those companies which provide H1 visa to international employees. Thats one of them major drawbacks. Generally students search for a job thru monster.com/ carrebuilder.com or yahoo.com. The best way is to go to the company website and upload the resume there. I got my job the similar way.
