When one final exam determines a teenager’s admission into college you know something is wrong in the education system. However the mockery doesn’t end here, to get into one of the prestigious universities you need to get a whooping 95 percent or more. Fortunate enough to get a high percentage and get admission into a college in India, I started my experience in the Indian colleges.
After attending two weeks of college the confusion I had about pursuing my undergraduate studies from India or America has suddenly vanished. The poor infrastructure , the confusion in the curriculum and the rigidity in the education structure helped me make up my mind to come to an environment where the education helps you to explore and experiment. On coming to America, I was asked several times why did I move so far away from home for college and I have had a simple reply for that “The education back home drove me away and helped me take this step."
