Well, why do Indian students go to US.Becos that country recognises merit and ones true worth.Financially they are better off.And future is almost guaranteed.But like all the good things in life,They face hurdles.US is the only country where you can buy a firearm from ashop and drug abuse is rampant.In short morality is in short supply.Indians who go to the US generaly concentrate on their studies and are targets of racial abuse and ridicule from their peers.Certainly some places in US have to be avoided at all costs since there is high incidence of poverty and Indians look comparitively better off.So basically avoid trouble spots like Black dominated `areas. And you have to decome streetsmart to survive in the US.And remember India is the best place to be.No place like home.
