International Admissions

Rakshith Varadaraju
Major: Computer Science alumnus - '09
Bangalore, India

Did you participate in any on-campus organizations or activities? If so, what were they?

I was always involved with the Honors Program at UNI. I took a multitude of courses which were a lot of fun because we did a lot of things that went beyond just reading the text books. Friends and peers that I met in the Honors Program were very helpful in guiding me through the initial culture shock and continue to place me in situations that help me learn more about the American society and way of life.

What is the one thing you would tell an international student about attending a college in the United States?

I think that the concept of the "American Dream" really exists. The freedom that the university and education system provide helps any student make the most out of their college career. America is a melting pot of cultures and attending college here gives you a glimpse of what a truly globalized world is going to be like.
