14 Tips For Starting College in the US

There is an excellent article posted on Back to Bangladesh titled “Starting College in the US“. The writer was an international student at Cornell who after completing his formal education worked in the US for almost three decades before returning to his homeland in Bangladesh.

In this article the writer pens down fourteen tips for his friend’s daughter who is soon to begin studies in the US. While there are many articles, tips and resources out there for freshmen starting college in the US, this particular article is geared towards international students. Number one and number fourteen on the list specially struck a cord with me. They were “Achieve you goals” and “Please come home after you achieve your goals”. I could not agree more with the writer on these points.

All in all, this is a must read for all current and prospective international students in the US. What is your opinion on this list? Do you have more to add? Please comment below.
