Student Life
Studying abroad is about more than just academics. Here is what you can expect from life as an international student.
The American university experience is unlike any other. US campuses are self-contained communities with libraries, sports facilities, dining halls, health centers, and hundreds of student organizations. You will find Nepali student associations at most major universities, providing a community that celebrates Dashain, Tihar, and other festivals together.
F-1 visa holders can work on-campus for up to 20 hours per week during the academic term and full-time during breaks. After your first year, you may be eligible for Curricular Practical Training (CPT) for internships related to your field. After graduation, Optional Practical Training (OPT) allows you to work for 12 months, with STEM graduates eligible for a 24-month extension (total 3 years).
The USA offers unmatched networking opportunities. Many of the world's largest companies recruit directly from university campuses, and career fairs, alumni networks, and industry events are integral to the university experience. A US degree combined with OPT work experience is one of the most valuable credentials in the global job market.
