Cho A-Reum from South Korea who came to DU after hearing great things about it is happy with her decision. She quips, “I have got admission to BCom (H) in SRCC. I have started attending classes and have also made a number of friends.”
Phuntsok Paljor and Kunsang have spent only a few days at Khalsa College and they are already learning Hindi.
Phuntsok says, “Earlier we thought that since we are from Tibet and look different, we will face problems in the college. But I was pleasantly surprised when my seniors just asked me for an introduction. Although my classmates and teachers pronounce my name incorrectly, I am enjoying a lot.” Shyly, Kunsang adds, “Being the only foreign student in the class feels a little odd, but everyone is very helpful.”

Dilasha Rayamajhi from Nepal has taken up BA programme in Miranda House and is quite upbeat about the way her initial days in DU have shaped up.
“My dad almost decided against sending me to Delhi after seeing the snail’s pace at which the documents were being processed at the foreign students advisory office. But I got through. I was anxious about being ragged but thankfully I have good seniors and they let me go after asking a few questions.”
The lax attitude of the authorities in DU is a concern for many.
Amanda Mary Virginia Ruff from the US is a tad upset about being kept in the dark by the authorities regarding the documents needed to get admission.
She says, “I am going back to the US to get some documents without which I cannot take admission. All this while I was not intimated that there might be a roadblock. Although the authorities have assured me that I will get admission, I am keeping my fingers crossed.”
Reza Ebraham from Iran also faced the same problem. Anguished, he says, “I submitted all the documents but now I am told that they have been lost.
With the Embassy’s help, I managed to submit the photocopies of the documents. I do not know whether they will read the documents or throw them in the dustbin. The classes have already started and I am still waiting for their reply.”
And what’s the best thing about Delhi? Cho’s vote goes to the Metro. “Without it, I would have found travelling in Delhi impossible, considering the jams, pollution and bad public transport system here.”
