Thinking of joining UCM, Anything that i need to know?

rahul21

No way, I was just looking at that too! But, you know, my parents are freaking out about me going abroad. They're convinced I'll be kidnapped or something.

😂😂😂. Brown parents! Mine are worried about the food. Like, chill, Mom, I can handle a burger or two and I do not want gajar matar throughout the winters

Hehehe, tell me about it. My mumma papa are all about the 'safety' and 'cultural shock.' I'm just here wondering if they even know what TikTok is.😂🤣🤣

😂Seriously, guys, we're not going to Mars. It's just another country, and we'll figure it out. But UCM, anyone got details on scholarships?

pankaj.adventure

rahul21

Yes, please! I need a scholarship to convince my parents and my bank account that studying in the USA is a brilliant idea.

And the weather! I heard it can be a rollercoaster. I've never had to deal with snow other than manali and srinagar. But this is a whole other level. Do they even sell good winter jackets in India?🤧

amittraveler

Winter jackets? More like, do they sell spicy food? I can't survive without my daily dose of masala.

😂😂Priorities bro . But seriously, language could be a hurdle. Do they understand our English, or do we have to start talking like the Queen of England?🤣🤣🤣

Nah, we're good. They watch enough Bollywood, they'll understand us just fine. But seriously, how's the Indian food scene there?

Right? I'm not ready to give up my biryani for anything. And what about cricket? Can we even find a decent game to watch?

shreyaTHEexplorer

Good point. But let's not forget why we're going – education! Anyone checked the reviews on the faculty? I don't want to end up with a professor who can't even pronounce my name.

😂😂True that. And the time zone difference? I'm not ready for those late-night lectures.

Alright, guys, we've got a lot to figure out – scholarships, weather, food, cricket, you name it. But, hey, at least we'll be representing India together at UCM!🙌✌️

Absolutely! And we'll have to introduce them to the magic of chai.😊😎 Can't wait for this adventure, guys!😍😍😍

rahul21

Let's do this! Gym buddies, study buddies, and maybe we'll even teach them a Bollywood dance move or two.🥱😎

Saleem_Shaik

Yeah! It really makes us feel proud to represent India here in a foreign nation.

Saleem_Shaik

It is the most funniest thing right here. They difficultly and weirdly pronounce the names of students

Saleem_Shaik

They can easily understand our english. They have been talking with Indian students from many years So, they got habituated to our slang

Saleem_Shaik

Most of the Indian students play cricket here during warm days. You can enjoy cricket here at UCM

Saleem_Shaik

Winter jackets are mandatory here and they are available at reasonable prices here. You will find spicy food here a lot. You can enjoy Hyderabadi biryani too

.

Saleem_Shaik

It’s not an easy task to got selected for a scholarship. I am in my second semester and got selected for the travel scholarship but it wouldn’t cover any of our university fee.

Saleem_Shaik

UCM is one of the safest university. One can live happily here with a reasonable living expenses. We live along with Indian students all the time and can’t find any cultural difference. Recently, I went to a movie and found few girls doing tiktok

. They do know about tiktok

.

pankaj.adventure

hehe, actually I was talking about my parents not knowing what tik-tok is. Gen-z thrive on tiktoks and insta reels​:joy:

thiseezsaleem

Ohh !! You enjoy watching movies and having friendly educational environment here at UCM buddy

thiseezsaleem

Yeah!! You will definitely experience a rollercoster of weather change here. You might enojy the snow and click good pictures but it irritates a lot. The roads become slippery and feels horribly cold outside. But, you will find it easy with jackets and all the winter wear. You may also find winter jackets in India but I recommend buying them right here in USA

Saleem_Shaik

Yupp!! I enjoy a lot right here.
