Indo American Studies

You’ll find us on the second floor, right near the Prashanth Nagar bus stop at 45 468 2 1. It’s a handy spot because the bus is right there, so people can get to us easily. We help students who are thinking about going to the States for their education. It’s a big step and a lot of them are pretty nervous when they first come in. We just sit down and go over what they need. There are always a million forms to fill out and deadlines to keep track of. Our office is a bit crowded with books and brochures about different colleges. It's not a fancy place with leather chairs or anything. We just have some desks and chairs where we can talk. Sometimes the fans are a bit loud, but we’re used to it. We try to be honest about how hard it is to get in and what it costs. No point in sugarcoating things for people. Most of the staff here have been helping kids for years. We like seeing them come back later and telling us how they’re doing over there. It’s a lot of reading and checking documents. We just do our best to make sure everything is in order before any applications get sent off. It is mostly just about keeping track of the details so things go smoothly.
