My journey to international exposure started in the

year 2007.

Having secured admission to the University of

Illinois – Urbana Champaign (UIUC) for my MS

in Finance, it was the first international exposure

that I experienced.

Understandably, stepping out of my nest for the

first time and embarking upon this maiden journey

taught me much more than just the fundamentals

of finance.

In hindsight, it became an experience and the year

that overhauled my perspective of life.

But in retrospection I think my decision to stay

back at UIUC was one of the best decisions that I

took in life.

It is easy to guess that the cultural shock, the life

style shock and the b-school pressure made my

few initial months very tough at UIUC and made

me more matured as well as ready to face the

challenges that life posed for me.

The unique manner of imparting knowledge to

students by employing case studies wherever

possible

I think one of the best things about studying in the

U.S. A. is that no matter what course you take,

there is only way to learn – CASE STUDIES.

The beauty of a case study is that it really imparts

a very practical approach to learning.

And to top it up, one of the courses that I

undertook dealt with portfolio management where

we as a class actually managed one of our

professor’s client’s portfolio.

The world-class infrastructure in US universities.

There is no doubt that the way in which

universities are designed in the US are just

phenomenal.

The kind of class rooms, libraries, research labs

that they construct makes sure that we have no

reason to not perform and study well.

No matter how well you Study in USA, there will

always be moments where you tend to feel like an

immigrant, for instance- at the time of placements

where most of the companies that come to campus

are looking for a US citizen or a US green card

holder, or at the time of securing your

Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card

processed for Optional Practical Training (OPT)/

Curricular Practical Training (CPT).
