An incredible experience.
Tips: 1. There was indeed a cultural shift, but wasn't that big of a problem. Being already aware of the way things go around in the US I could adapt easily. 2. I got awarded a financial scholarship of 60% of the total tuition expenses. 3. I'm pretty satisfied with the university, course and the country. I don't have enough words to say how much this environment has helped me in my holistic development.
