What are problems faced by Indian students in the USA?
I should begin by saying that I was only 17 when I came to this country to a private mid-size university. I barely knew how to take care of myself. Hell, I didnt even know myself well enough to determine that ! Its been quite a journey !
Culture Shock. I came from a really small city and I suffered a huge culture shock. I thought that since I was brown, I would be treated differently and people would look at me in a peculiar way. That sure was the case but they werent amused by me rather they wanted to know more about me and since I am 6'6" tall, I got a lot of female attention. In India, being tall and standing out in school was actually harder and people always picked on me. Things were quite the opposite here. Sometimes, you would meet a few racist people here and there who would call out on you or disregard you because you are "inferior". But this is nothing compared to the racism and ethnocentric-ism that people face in India. The favoritism and nepotism that people are used to in India is almost non-existent here. There were also times when people would confuse me with being Arab which made things slightly awkward but nothing serious since Americans are one of the most accepting and friendly people on the planet.
在美国，印度学生面临哪些问题？
我得先说明，我17岁时就来到了这个国家，进入了一个中等规模的私立大学。我几乎不懂得如何自理。说实话，我甚至不够了解自己，更不用说清楚地界定自己了！这真是一段漫长而充满挑战的旅程！
文化冲击。我来自一个很小的城市，所以经历了极大的文化冲击。我曾担心，因为我的肤色是棕色，我会受到不同的对待，人们会用异样的眼光看我。确实，我感受到了这种差异，但他们的兴趣并非出于嘲笑，而是出于对我的好奇——我身高6英尺6英寸（约198厘米），我还得到了很多女性的关注。在印度，个子高让我在学校里很显眼，经常成为别人取笑的对象。而在这里，情况却完全相反。偶尔，你可能会碰到一些种族主义者，他们会对你大声斥责或无视你，只因为你在他们眼中是“低人一等”。但这与印度人所面临的种族主义和民族优越感相比，根本算不了什么。在印度司空见惯的偏袒和裙带关系，在这里几乎不存在。有时人们还会把我误认为阿拉伯人，这虽然让情况有点尴尬，但没什么大不了的，因为美国人是地球上最包容和友好的民族之一。

Accent.The other issue definitely was my accent. I found it really hard to communicate because I wasn't used to speaking in English that frequently and it turned out that it's a hard skill to pick up. Speaking and communicating are a big part of your intelligence and since, I didnt talk much in English, I was struggling with it the first couple of months. I would think twice before asking questions in class because the kids would stare at me weirdly and the professor might have to ask me to repeat my question which might be even more embarrassing. So, I got my act together and went to a speech lab where I practiced and improved upon my american accent. There are speech labs in almost any competitive top tier university in the USA. This greatly improved my accent and then I was finally able to interact with people and make friends without getting judges. Not having an accent can greatly impact your life in the USA. People will actually begin to treat you differently and perceive you differently as well. This really helped me a lot and helped me get by quite effectively without people having to get frustrated over communicating with me. It is also really helpful with women since some times they can get turned off by an accent they don't like.
口音问题无疑是我在美国学习时遇到的另一个挑战。由于我不习惯频繁地使用英语交流，我发现与人沟通非常困难，而这项技能也不容易掌握。口语和沟通能力是你智力的重要组成部分，由于我过去很少用英语交流，所以在最初的几个月里，我在这方面遇到了很多困难。在课堂上提问时，我总是犹豫不决，因为同学们会用异样的眼光看着我，教授也经常需要我重复问题，这让我感到更加尴尬。因此，我下定决心，参加了一个语音实验室进行练习，以改进我的美国口音。在美国几乎所有具有竞争力的顶尖大学中，都有语音实验室。这极大地改善了我的口音，使我能够与人交流并结交朋友，而不再受到评判。在美国，没有口音可以极大地影响你的生活，人们会开始用不同的方式对待你，对你的看法也会有所不同。这对我帮助很大，使我能够更有效地生活，不再让人们因为与我沟通而感到失望。此外，这在与女性交往时也非常有用，因为有时她们可能会对她们不喜欢的口音感到反感。

Unlike a lot of people from India or any other country who think that they are communicating effectively, they actually arent. Americans take you seriously when you say something. And your choice of words can make a huge difference. If you say "No" as opposed to "Thanks, Ill pass on it for now", the latter is considered way more polite. This leaves an impression on people and also prevent them from stereotyping you.
Time.The biggest and most overlooked issue is that of time management and organization. In america, people believe in getting things done and don't usually rely on other people for their tasks to be accomplished. This persistent attitude is highly important in achieving success. India has a very relaxed and laid back culture. Not that they dont get things done. People just get lazy and stay relaxed most of the time. When we need to get things done, we start stressing out a great deal. People here are accustomed to doing things constantly and remain focused on what they want to do.
与很多来自印度或其他国家的人士不同，那些人误以为自己的沟通很有效，实际上并非总是如此。美国人会认真对待你的言辞，你的措辞可能带来极大的影响。比如说，比起直接说“不”，如果你说“谢谢，我现在先不考虑”，后者会被视为更礼貌。这样做不仅给人留下好印象，还能避免他们对你形成刻板的看法。
时间管理是最严重也最容易被忽视的问题。在美国，人们通常强调不要依赖他人来完成自己的任务。这种始终如一的态度对于成功至关重要。印度文化则相对宽松和悠闲。这并不是说他们不完成任务，而是人们大多数时间都比较懒散。当我们需要完成任务时，我们往往会感到极大的压力。而在美国，人们习惯于持续不断地行动，并且始终专注于他们想要达成的目标。

Use your time wisely. Try to multitask and don't waste your time and money on things you wont need and people you don't care about. That does'nt mean you have to live frugally. Have your fair share of fun but don't overdo it at the expense of spending money that you dont have or time that you should'nt or can't afford to waste. The best thing that you can do for yourself is to stay efficient and stay motivated. All the time by making it a habit so that you dont even have to think twice.
Diversity of the palate. You will come across many different kinds of food in the USA on a regular basis. There is no such thing as american food. It is a co-mingling of many different cuisines and it is heavily influenced by European cuisines. I would definitely suggest approaching everything that you eat with an open mind and try different foods. It might take a little bit of time to getting used to but eventually you will get used to them and like it. Be open minded and cultivate new tastes instead of snubbing it just because its resembles something that you don't like initially or have never come across before.
珍惜时间，明智地安排。尝试同时处理多项任务，避免在无关紧要的事物和人上浪费你的时间和金钱。这并不是要求你过着吝啬的生活，而是要合理享乐，不要过度消费，不要花费你负担不起的金钱，也不要浪费时间。对自己最好的投资是保持效率和动力，让这成为习惯，这样你就不需要再三思考。
在美国，你将经常接触到各式各样的美食。美国并没有所谓的“美国菜”，它是由许多不同菜系融合而成的，并且深受欧洲菜系的影响。我建议你以开放的心态尝试各种食物。可能一开始需要时间适应，但最终你会习惯并喜欢上它们。保持开放的心态，培养新的口味，不要因为某些食物最初看起来像你不喜欢的，或者你从未遇到过，就拒绝尝试。

Academics. There is a very famous saying that goes by, "Education is what others do to you while learning is what you do to yourself." This is precisely the motto of the education system. You go to university to observe and learn and not to be educated. People and professors are "resources" that you utilize to understand and make the knowledge you attain usable. You have to do the homeworks and its on your onus to do it honestly. The academic integrity code is very strict and plagiarism and copying is not tolerated at all. If you get caught the first time, you will go on probation and probably lose a letter grade on the class. The second time, most top tier universities will give you an F letter grade. The third time you might get expelled or get put on suspension for an entire quarter or semester. Contrary to most countries getting an A is actually quite hard because you are graded on attendance, homeworks, projects, tests, quizzes and a final. Diligence is key. Its forms the core of the culture. Work hard and you can have it all. Yes the courses are very comprehensive and they require a certain level of devotion and commitment. Its very easy to get tied up in the college party scene, which a lot of students do at a lot of schools and eventually end up in bad shape or graduate with not such a good record. Remember that university education in the USA can make or break your life because you are 18 years of age and are held accountable for everything that you do. If you make wise choices and filter out the wrong/bad ideas, you'll graduate with a good record and you will be highly recommended by your professors for most jobs or even graduate school if you want to get an MBA. Since you are not allowed (you actually cannot since they are all electronic) to read the recommendations that your professors write for you, you will most likely not get a very good and convincing recommendation.
学术追求。有一句广为流传的名言：“教育是他人对你所做的事，而学习是你自己对自己所做的事。”这正是教育体系秉承的信条。进入大学，你的目标是去观察、去学习，而不仅仅是被教育。周围的人和教授都是你的“资源”，你要利用这些资源来理解和掌握所学知识，使之成为可用的技能。你必须独立完成作业，并诚实地对待这一过程。对在学术上秉持诚信的态度是极为严格的，任何形式的抄袭和剽窃都是不被容忍的。如果第一次违规被抓，你可能会接受留校察看，并在课程成绩上受到影响。第二次违规，大多数顶尖大学会直接给你不及格的成绩。到了第三次，你可能会面临被退学或整个学期停学的处罚。与许多其他国家不同，在美国要获得最高等级的成绩非常困难，因为你的成绩会基于出勤、作业、项目、考试、小测验以及期末考试等多个方面综合评定。勤奋是关键，它是文化的核心。只要你努力学习，就能获得一切。课程内容通常非常广泛，需要你投入一定程度的努力和投入。大学生活中很容易沉迷于派对，许多学生因此陷入困境，最终要么表现不佳，要么以不太理想的成绩毕业。记住，在美国，大学教育可以成就你的未来，也可以毁掉你的未来，因为你已经18岁，需要为自己的行为负责。如果你做出明智的选择，排除错误和不良的想法，你将以优异的成绩毕业，在大多数工作上，你都会得到教授的大力推荐，或者如果你有意向攻读MBA，教授也会大力推荐你。但由于你无法查看（因为它们都是电子形式的）教授们为你撰写的推荐信，你很可能得不到一份非常有力和令人信服的推荐。

Social-scene. Get used to being direct and being confident. Also, dont be shy to approach women. The culture mandates a very vocal, open and free thought approach in social settings. Just dont be imposing because that can make you seem opinionated and bigoted. Socialize more and socialize often. Branch out and make friends outside of your community or ethnic background. This will leave a good impression on people and also widen your horizons about other cultures that inhabit this planet. There is a lot that everyone brings to the table. Dont undermine someone else's capability. This probably is the single best thing that america has to offer. The sheer number of different cultures and ethnicity that come together in this country is astounding. I would also like to add the importance of being direct and, at the same time, subtle, in order to not come across as rude. Being direct implies, when someone says "NO" its usually a no and pressing someone further can cause issues. Unlike some other cultures, American hospitality centers on asking and always acknowledging someone's reply or presence. If you dont know something, let them know you dont know it and dont waste their time (being direct). If you want to help, let them know you can find out or point them in the right direction (acknowledging and being polite). This will not only help someone else but will also raise your sense of self-esteem since you helped someone else out.
社交环境：要习惯直截了当地表达，并且要自信。此外，不要害怕主动接触女性。美国文化鼓励在社交场合中表达自己，思想开放，言论自由。但注意不要强加于人，这可能会让你看起来固执己见，甚至偏执。要更多地参与社交，频繁地与人交往。拓展你的社交圈，结交来自不同社区或种族背景的朋友。这不仅会给人留下良好的印象，也会拓宽你对世界其他文化的视野。每个人都有独特的贡献，不要小看他人的能力。这可能是美国最吸引人的地方之一——不同文化和种族的多样性令人惊叹。我还想强调，在保持直率的同时也要讲究方法，以免给人留下粗鲁的印象。当有人说“不”，通常就意味着拒绝，进一步追问可能会导致问题。与某些文化不同，美国的热情好客特别强调提问并总是认真对待别人的回答或存在。如果你不了解某件事情，就直接告诉他们你不知道，避免浪费他们的时间。如果你想提供帮助，就告诉他们你能找出答案或者指引他们正确的方向，这表现出了尊重和礼貌。这样做不仅能够给予他人帮助，同时也会让你自我感觉良好，因为你帮助了别人。

Dress impeccably unless not necessary. This is more of European culture than american. But most American cities have a well dressed population and corporate america protocols mandate that you present your best. It shows your habits and also is an indicator of your attention to detail. You can judge a man by the way he dresses.
Sports. Athletic events form the core of american culture. Go to ice-hockey and basketball games and experience the camaraderie. A lot of other cultures never get to experience what sporting events feel like but in the USA they are a BIG deal. Also, a lot of Americans like to spend time outside in the sun, on the beach and play some sport. This can be a great team building and socializing experience that can lead to some great outcomes.
I personally played soccer (european football) and squash. I made some really amazing friends and had some of the best times of my life playing out under the sun. These days wont come back so make the best of them. The best part was that we would often have co-ed teams. There was a lot that I learnt from female athletes being on the pitch. I also met my girlfriend playing squash and it was probably the best experience ever. Something that really changed my life and my understanding of women.
Dont be Shy, be Bold and be Confident. If you can think it, you can do it !
穿着方面要力求完美，除非在某些场合并不要求。这更像是欧洲文化，而不是美国文化。但大多数美国城市的人都穿着讲究，而且美国公司的规定要求你表现出最好的一面。它显示了你的习惯，也表明了你对细节的关注。你可以从一个人的穿着来判断他。一个人的着装方式往往能透露出他的个性和品味。
体育在美国文化中占据着核心地位。你应该去现场观看冰球和篮球比赛，感受那里的团队精神和友谊。在美国，体育赛事是非常重要的社交活动，而其他许多文化中的人可能没有这样的机会去体验。此外，许多美国人喜欢在户外、海滩上享受阳光，参与各种体育运动。这不仅是团队建设的好机会，也是社交和结识新朋友的好方式。
我个人参与过足球（即欧洲的足球）和壁球运动。通过这些运动，我结识了一些非常棒的朋友，并且在阳光底下的运动时光成为了我一生中最宝贵的记忆。这些时光一去不复返，因此要珍惜并充分利用。值得一提的是，我们常常有男女混合的队伍，我从女运动员们身上学到了很多。甚至，我在打壁球时遇到了我的女朋友，这是我经历过的最棒的事情之一。这段经历真的改变了我的生活，也改变了我对女性的理解。
不要害羞，要勇敢、要自信。如果你能想到，你就能做到！

Ravit
Just the Indian students? Okay. I will share everything I dealt with and the list goes like this:
Self doubt: This is a big one. Since you’re alone and have no one around to tell you if you’re doing the right thing- you start doubting everything. From “Did I sext the right University” to “How did I land up here”.
Cooking: I still suck at it. I left school in 2015 and I still eat most of my meals out.
$ to INR conversion on everything you do. From the 75 cent bus ride to $2 milk.
Pressure to perform: Perform well in class, get good grades, apply and convert- internships/jobs, complete projects in time, be socially active and find time to sleep.
并非只有印度学生会面临挑战；我会分享我所经历的一切，挑战包括：
自我怀疑：这是一个主要问题。因为你孤身一人，没有人在旁边告诉你是否做得对，你开始怀疑一切，从“我是否选对了大学”到“我是怎么来到这里的”。
烹饪技巧：我在这方面仍然不行。我2015年离开学校，至今大部分餐食还是在外面解决。
货币转换：每笔花费都要从美元换算成印度卢比，小到75美分的公交车费，大到2美元的牛奶。
表现压力：在课堂上要表现好，要取得优异成绩，要申请并成功获得实习和工作，要及时完成项目，要保持社交活跃，还要找到时间休息。

Think about the $65,000 student loan: Some deal with this better than others. You just get immune after a while.
Loneliness: You miss home, sometimes squabble with your room mates. Loneliness is inevitable.
Find an e-verified employer who will sponsor your visa and possibly green card: This is a big one too. Finding the right job and the right employer is VERY NERVE WRECKING. Working with the HR to file for extensions, H1b and then getting through the lottery process- OMG, this gives many of us sleepless nights.
Network and deal with your accent: I thought I have always been good with networking but networking in US is totally a different ballgame. You need to open yourself up and stop giving a f*ck about everything. Regarding accent, trust me you will repeat most of what you say for first few years, I still do.
Racism? A lot or people ask me about this but hey its not as bad as it looks. In the span of 4 years- just once.
Its all worth it- the experience will forge you into your best self.
学生贷款：想想那65,000美元的学生贷款，有些人比其他人更擅长处理这个问题。过一段时间，你可能就会对此麻木。
孤独感：你会想念家，有时和室友发生争执。孤独是不可避免的。
职业规划：寻找一个愿意支持你签证申请以及可能的绿卡的电子验证雇主：这同样是一个重大挑战。找到合适的工作和理想的雇主过程极其令人紧张不安。与人力资源部门合作，提交工作签证延期申请、H1b签证，接着还要经历抽签过程——我的天哪，这些环节让许多人夜不能寐。
社交网络和口音问题：我原以为我擅长社交，但在美国建立社交网络完全是另一回事。你需要更加开放，不要太在乎一切。至于口音，相信我，在最初的几年里，你会要重复你所说的大部分内容，我仍然这样做。
种族歧视：很多人问我这个问题，但实际上并不像看起来那么糟。在四年时间里，我只遇到过一次。
但一切都是值得的——这段经历将塑造出最好的你。

职业规划：寻找一个愿意支持你签证申请以及可能的绿卡的电子验证雇主：这同样是一个重大挑战。找到合适的工作和理想的雇主过程极其令人紧张不安。与人力资源部门合作，提交工作签证延期申请、H1b签证，接着还要经历抽签过程——我的天哪，这些环节让许多人夜不能寐。
社交网络和口音问题：我原以为我擅长社交，但在美国建立社交网络完全是另一回事。你需要更加开放，不要太在乎一切。至于口音，相信我，在最初的几年里，你会要重复你所说的大部分内容，我仍然这样做。
种族歧视：很多人问我这个问题，但实际上并不像看起来那么糟。在四年时间里，我只遇到过一次。
但一切都是值得的——这段经历将塑造出最好的你。
