189 international students, mostly from India, decided to attend Southern University.

Following his father’s footstep, Rajeshekhar Chimmalgi, a freshman of physics major from India, came to Baton Rouge in 1998 and attended Southern University. He has good things to say to hopeful attendees.

“At Southern, the physics department staff and students helped me get through the registration process and advised me how to study and what classed to take,” Cimmalgi said.

The majority of international students at Southern are there to obtain a graduate degree and then return to their home country. However, during their short stay in the U. S., many international students find it hard to fit in.

“It’s really difficult because you are the only one and you don’t know anyone.” Chimmalgi said.

One of the easiest ways for them to feel comfortable is to be around people from their own culture. “I have some friends from Jamaica and Trinidad, so I don’t feel so out of place.” said one student named Boogle.

Farhana Lubna, a third semester graduate student from Bangladesh, feels that Southern could do more to make them feel comfortable. He said, “At Louisiana State University, they have an international expo and foreign students introduce their culture to the university. I think Southern could do something similar to that.”
