Some advice for Saudi students

     Hey everyone, my name is Omar. I came to the U.S. last January, so I've been here for more than one year. Many people wish to come and study in the U.S. to get a better education. Also, a number of students come every semester. Sometimes students get into problems, so there is some advice from my experience. First, before you get to the airport, make sure that you have your I-20 with you. You should prepare to have a very long trip. You must not download any copied songs or movies from the internet; otherwise, you'll be in trouble. A common situation that many students face is when they get to immigration, they don't know how to speak English. Feel comfortable to ask for help and they will bring someone who can speak the same language. 
 
     In the city, make sure that you find a good place to live. Don't ever sign a contract until you make sure you're satisfied. Also, read the contract cautiously and ask them to explain every point. Meet Saudi students and ask them about the Saudi Club and where it's located. There you'll find all you want and everyone will feel happy to help you. Make sure you choose good friends, not the opposite. Talk to your friends who already have been there. In conclusion, always ask God to help you with your trip.
 
     In your study, the attending is one of the most important thing that the school always looking for. Another thing, come to the class on the time no matter what happen. They will not accept any excuses and you'll not be acceptable after a while. Try to communicate with Americans to get the language faster. Always read about the news, sports and weather forecast because that will help you a lot in your study. Respect you classmates and never make funny of them because sometimes you heart them without knowing that. This is some advice from what I already face and I hope it was effective and helpful for everyone
