Sumit Lad, a graduate student studying electrical engineering has seen his fair share of dorm rooms. After attending the University of Pune in India and visiting his friends’ dorm rooms, Lad is happy he decided to dorm in the U.S
“There is a lot less socializing. I just noticed that whenever I went over there were people cursing and throwing things around. There seemed to be a lot of quarrelling.”
Lad describes the dorms in India in very callous words both in terms of the people and the rules. He says students (all of whom were engineers) were extremely competitive with each other.
“I didn’t have many friends in college in India. It was only until I started living in the international house that I started to make friends in my college career. There a lot of exchange students so they know how to have a good time for a semester before they go back”.
In fact, Lad has changed his roommate every semester within the 2 years he has lived in the international house.
“I’ve met a lot of people living here. I didn’t much of a college experience in India. Now I finally have those crazy college stories.”
Lad will be living in Beverly Plaza apartments due to the cost of the dorms.
