I'm enjoying my night.......At work. Few hours to go. I really love this job. Its my second job at the UofM. It doesn't pay well, but I would love to have this job for ever. I go through student files, and see if they have all required courses, credentials... and can be admitted to the University. One of the best Universities in the world. 13th place is where it ranked last year in the States. Most of those I deal with are out-of-state and international students. When I get a call from their parents, or when I call few of them, I have to say, it's a really rewarding job.

My friends, international student applications are getting shorter, and shorter every week. We are getting record number of in-state applications at the University, but less and less international students. Some say its only due to 9/11, while others say more international students aren't interested as they used to be to coming here. Today Bush said, he will take a look on Indian students coming to US more easily. I hope this is true and also continues to other nations in Asia, and around the world. This university as in any other one in this nation, needs to have international students. PERIOD.
