Yudi is dead accurate. It’s been a year for me in the States and let me tell you this shit happens all the time. Struggle is real.
Will you have some amount of free time atleast? Or is it study-work-clean all time?
Will your roomies/ friends back-bitch if you have International Friends or dating?
Siddharth Malladi It is all about time management. You have to be smart about it. You will have time to unwind and have fun but you’ll have to be efficient when you’re studying or working. Slacking won’t get you anywhere.
Indian student problem = Care, feelings , expectations
US Reality = Nobody gives a fuck
The only word of lesson, stay accurate, keep surviving, do your best
Bruh I've lived in hostel for 7 years. That roommate thing is 110% true
Bro I wants to talk to to can we have a talk abt the environment of that place
This more sounds like a story from some gawaar shithole place in India. Sasuma wala story. Here is how you can approach this differently. I did my engineering in u.k and masters in usa. Rules that i followed
1. Stay away from fellow Indians, desi food and culture. If you are paying high for international experience. Get one.. Integrate into that society.. Stay with foreign ppl , adopt tha place diet, and experience life of that society.
2. Never depend on others or other ppl opinion for student/part time jobs.. Do ur own research and apply for it through proper channels and network. I easily found many part time and even full time employment after studies on my own.
3. Always do ur research and plan before you go about expense management, where to shop cheap, how to prepare cv, change visa etc. Everything shud be properly planned and kept. It will work out, stay positive I got a corporate job after studies and now run my startup for over years.
4. The only thing right is about the mindset. Yeah if you have the right positive mind set and stay away from negative PPL. You will do good. I stayed in single room in shared flat with Europeans . All good. If u have the local nalla mentality and want to be a lazy looser who wines and complains and want to drink moms milk sit at home. Study local.. These type of ppl ruin the culture of that foreign land and can't integrate into society there.. They will create mini India and eat gol gappa and gossip. Good luck.
I don't know much about US but the reality is life is not easy at anywhere. Thank you bro for this beautiful video🇮🇳
This is the most honest video ever. I have struggled in undergrad because of this too, fake friends who act like friends and end up betraying, kissing seniors's asses for work, fickle friendships. And it's funny how we think people mature up by then or post grad will not be like that. But truth is people are same everywhere circumstances change, and 'fitrat' Kabhi Nahi badalti. Best it to lay the rules from before and not over indulge in any one person, no one's there to make friends, all are their to make career
R they racist towards indians?? Idk why i felt like it might be a thing
I think this sums up my teenage as well college life and I learned finally that people are selfish and mean and sometimes you do have to be mean and say no means no.

1000% true.! Before Gre, TOEFL and university applications, every USA aspirant need to watch this to know if you can handle this kind of atmosphere. This is the actual struggle and every student in USA can relate to some or the other point of this video . Yudi you always come with the video that really connects and expresses everyone's feelings, watching your videos inspires and also asks for introspection.
It's been 6 years since i've been to the states from Japan. I am a SWE at google. It's not just indians, it's with everyone. Life is hard but learn to stay alone. It's the process to discover yourself. Don't be pussy. Yes, please learn to socialize , learn to earn more. Yes , you can make millions, you just have to learn the process. I can agree back in my hometown . mom used to cook for me , wash my clothes and as a typical asian dad , my father just wanted me to get good grades and a good job with a good amount of paycheck. But, trust me, i was prepared, my mindset is very different, i like to stay in best shape possible, I eat good, I accepted that i came alone and i have to make everything on my own and fucking yes i did it. I never thought i would have a gf but i've been in a happy and healthy relationship since for 3 years. The socialising part here in the states is weird but you have to mget into the american culture and learn how to talk to people. I got my dream car, Tesla model S. I got myself a house in Bay Area worth $1.3M. You might think , how this is possible , a japanese kid once had a dream to be successful and he is now. It doesn't matter if you are indian or not. Everyone has to struggle in their life for the fortunes they want.
DON'T BE A PUSSY ! That's what a man once said to me when i was doing my undergrad. I took that personally.
Struggle is even in India. If you're ready to take the struggle then it's not bad to move to the US
Everything you said is so true. Having good friends around is so important. One should be strong physically and emotionally to sustain in USA.
@@apieceoflife2732 nope.. in India we have family to fall back on immediately.. with some or zero consequences..
But US.. you have taken a leap of faith..
If your faith dwindles you are done and you fall in void
Reality is very bitter! Thank God my wife taught him to cook and taught him how to deal with such peer issues, he is coping well with so many pressures in Chicago
This happens only with middle class and middle lower class because we knew when we have to repay loan that we took for this lifestyle...and that's really one thing comes in mind ..But Rich people has another life....😔
@@c4rnage125 Why I have to Stop for someone and whose stopping me ,when you understand(for you it's chronology) this sentence meaning perfectly then maybe come back and reply me..
All these things will even happen in India as well; it’s just life.
There is no comparison. Living in another country and facing problems is much worst.
Bhai indeed you can’t compare living standards of any developed western country with that of India . Given that you come from middle class family then definitely living in any western country is much better and if you are super rich then country doesn’t even matter.
@@budgetgaming6938 bro I’m not telling randomly.even I had stayed in hostel for more then 5 years .Only culture May differ but all other stays the same .
Bhai 3 saal se US me hu, kya connect hua hai ye video. This video reminded me of all the times I struggled cluelessly not knowing why all of that was happening to me. But it made me stronger. Like you said, Master's is all about your mindset✌️ lots of love❤️
The struggle is very real. I experienced it too.. thats why I started my coaching business, to help Indian student who live abroad, figure things out and guide them properly
adding to the above points:
LEARN TO COOK!!
you should know how to cook and how to cook faster..
@@garvitrajput5085 Use seperate containers..Apart from that there is not much you can do.
Thanks, Yudi for sharing the reality over expectations for students in the US. But everything comes with struggle and hard work.
This is gold. I have completed both bachelor and Masters program. Yudi is 100% right. Whoever disliked the video is all the unfair roommate who getting busted haha!
Yudi J bro especially the internship and high grade part. There is a group that always goes to professors office hour before exams and assignments and there is group that never missing any career services event and sign ups fast without telling anyone. For work, there are senior who will never help unless the senior is your own country men or finds your personality good enough to help.
@@Prinx0506 I am assuming you did bachelor and masters here too-those handshake RSVP runs out fast
This is so damn accurate !! I mean starting with the first struggle you mentioned, I personally did not have a job for quite a long time and then COVID hit us !!! Secondly, the way you put the "Bigg Boss" scenario in place is so true, it literally feels like that at some point!! And last but not the least; anxiety, loneliness, depression, crying to sleep, waking up with stress, going through everything with a smile because you cant complaint about the stuff, everything comes in an unseen package with your visa stamp. But, everyone does it, and everybody gets through it !!! Nothing can be achieved without struggling so, to all the new students dreaming big, dream it, but also be prepared to face all the tough situation !!!! :)
I am working in Indian IT since two years now. Most of my friends are leaving to US this fall and I am not sure if I really want to go to US or it's just peer pressure. I also do not want to regret my decision either. I am very confused. Is the life in US after 10 years very good and are all these struggles worth it compared to staying in India ?
@@WalterWhite-jl8mx Welcome to the club. Even I had the same thoughts, but didnt find the right reasons to do masters.
So true... thank you Yudi for giving us all the details and tips ...so that we students can prepare ourselves for the future.
Totally relatable bro. Feels good looking back in those initial days in US. Keep Smiling and Keep Hustling.
Why are you so underrated? You have such awesome videos and awesome videos. Please make a video for new subscribers about your life from undergrad till now. Like a series or something.
There isn't any success without pain. And not everyone could be successful.

This is 110% accurate. I came to US in 2015 for masters from San Diego State and all these things happened. This video sums up the challenges we face and each and every thing mentioned in this video happens. Thanks Yudi to share the experience after watching this video i can totally agree that people dont see our struggle and just see a fraction of our lives posted on social media. Keep making such videos as they are really to the point and people need to know this before coming to US 👍🏻 #StruggleIsReal
I stayed away from home for my undergraduate. For initial 2 3 months every things seems cool, new friends , independent life but after that when exams come, when you search internship at that time u realize that the friends, roommates you enjoyed with are actually now jealous of you or hide things from you.
All the 3 points you talked about are 110% on point and 2nd point being true in 99%cases.
This is one of the golden videos out there. To be in a developed country brings its own set of challenges. Plus, it is never easy to earn money anywhere in the world. Those who say life is awesome/breathtaking in any developed country are delusional. What is the whole pt. of having a luxury car if you are the only one to drive it and you have to go everywhere alone!?
Nice video man. I really wish to meet you someday.
He is most underrated vlogger
Not underrated, he just started growing his channel recently, it's takes time to be famous.
@@YudiJ Thanks you showing the reality!
Your videos are awesome and so much helpful!
Keep making...

My father gave me an option to go to abroad this year for my masters, but I have decided not to because of the same reasons. Given my past anxiety issues, ik i will get depressed. Moreover, i think paying more than 50-60 lacs just for getting a degree isn't the smartest decision in the world. India mein rahoge toh at least you will have someone to lean onto when something goes wrong.
Im struggling to make that decision whether to go abroad or not .. after reading ur comment I felt good like someone also want to stay .. ! But the confusion is still on for me ! 😖 thinking about the same till this late and watching all these videos 😑
@@charanchittimala Make a pros and cons list from a 360 point of view. Make sure to include your emotional quotient in that list too like, Where you will be happy? Do you have anxiety issues etc?
@@chaudhary-wt4qi Thank You so much.. after one day of writing down everything..I finally decided to stay and continue in what I like ..😊
I studied and lived in US for 15 yrs. My exp is Most indian guys are over-pampered, indisciplined and are not well trained by their parents to do even basic work around the house. They suffer now for this life long laziness 😂😂
This video is on point!! These are all exact things which a Bachelor’s student will go through. This would definitely give an insight to the students coming to US.
So true! I've stayed in hostel for 4 years during my bachelors in Chennai though. Can totally relate to the roommate issues scenario
Thanks Yudi for sharing the "real struggles" of an International student. I personally have gone through a few of them, but one learns a lot about living life independently. Keep going with these videos! #SupportfromOhio
I am confused if I should go to US for MS. I know these struggle teaches a lot but how much worth is it ? Is life in US after 10 years worth these struggles vs life in India ? Most of my friends are going this fall but I am not sure if I really want to or it's just peer pressure.

Thank you so much Yudi....this was the best video ever...would never have thought such things before ❤️
The same happens in India as well , When you do your graduate here in India , and live in hostels. I have studied from a college that is in UP , and OMG the politics that you face here is at another level.
Getting campus job depends on facilities provided by campus. In SUNY Buffalo, everyone who wanted to have a job got it on week 1 even before the classes started. They even organized buses for International students to take us to SSN office for free. Getting a full time job depends on your approach but ofcourse location do play an important role.
Bro thanx for the details for others, i also stayed for 2 yrs in Georgia as a student, and everything you said is 100% true..almost all u mentioned, happened with me as well..although during those 2 yrs, things felt good, but now i realise that "apna desh apna hota ha"..
US or other coutries are good for only those students who have all thier family living there for a long time..the biggest problem a student faces is lonliness, u wud miss ur fmily very hard.. finally im working in Faridabad (alone ) & im lovin it..while my fam lives in Ranchi..in india, howsoever bad it is, but u feel like home
The struggle is real!! Can't thank you enough for making this much needed video.
The problem he shared with roommates is legit. Its not just in America but in India as well. Its basically anywhere you go when you are sharing rooms. It has been six years since I have been living outside from home premises moving from one location to another. I have changed a lot of roommates, lived with many individuals and trust me its not easy to adapt. But eventually you get the hang of it. When you are living with people from different background and culture; there will be differences...you have to accept and ignore certain flaws. No one is perfect, they will accept yours and you have to accept theirs.
Your content is so helpful, I cannot explain. I am just overwhelmed 😃🥰😌
#StruggleisReal
The second point(Room mate) is damnn true and i'hv gone through this bro. Ure really putting the real life issues.
This video gives reality check on a whole different level!!! Thank you for making this one... will be coming to US now with an well informed and ready mindset. Yudi your videos are amazing even a silent spectator like me who just enjoys watching the video is now commenting!!! Hoping to meet you in person🤟 #yudisquad

Hey how are you now ?
please share ur experience over there
Will be helpful
Please share your experience Vaishnavi. I am planning to give GRE but I am not sure if I really wanna go to US. All my friends are going so not sure if it's a peer pressure or whether I am scared of regretting my decision
We need more videos like this, Yudi!
Tell us about:
1. Veg and Non Veg issues with roomies
2. Time Management with studies, job and cleaning.
3. Will your friends/ roomies back bitch about you having International friends or dating? ( As you might have personally experienced a similar situation)
4. Free Food and Shirts Hacks!
I feel you brother ,It happens in Delhi: India too! Its life and toxic are everywhere!
I feel lonely. Even in my home country... Can't blame a foreign land for that!!
Yudi is right on everything he has spoken. I did my MBA in 2015 and believe me, everything he said is so true. He only covered the struggle during the study period but I guess for Indians particularly because of visas , the struggle is all the time until they are there
Made this funny video about bay area visa experience. Would love to know what you think about it. Thanks :)

"STRUGGLE IS REAL"
Thank you for always sharing your experience, giving us a red alert, providing with a solution.
you are referring to the life lessons very practically, sincerely & honestly, kudos my friend.....
Trust me it's all 100 percent same in UK as well. I'm doing undergrad in Uk. That loneliness and communication gap between roomates are so true. Luckily I got one good flatmet who was even younger than me. It's all showd me what real struggle is. Doing job, assignments, cook meal, cleaning on our own is horrible. Darkest days in my life. But I know it's worth it.
Why do you say its worth it?
Because you're being self reliant and also your resilance and character being tested
Yudi!
You're the best and so the content. I've not come across anyone who says the reality as closely as you said in this video.
Cheers!
This is such a great vlog for real ! It mentally makes us prepared and get stronger mentally as we start making air dreams 👍🏻
The part where you talked about tiredness from doing on campus jobs and then how it affects your academics was very relatable. I was doing 3 different jobs in my first year, and I swear, it was quite stressful. In the end , it was all worth it, so no regrets :)

Success is outcome but many give up while struggling even after job u will struggle forever in a different country, period.....
What is this success ? Are you talking about the money or job satisfaction or staying in a developed country ? I really want to know
"Struggle is real" keep hustling.I am in USA for studies so experiencing all phases of struggle daily
Amazing video Yudi. Faced all of the circumstances during masters.Finally the truth has been spoken. Thanks for the video. It will be helpful for the prospective students.
Excellent observation about the struggles being faced by international students in the US.
You literally opened my eye ,now I know, everything I do is owned by my father and atleast i get food everyday to eat is such a blessing for me man 👍

I was thinking Yudi was going to sugarcoat stuff and talk completely pro student life. I am happy that you spoke the truth even though it feels bad. Coming from a guy who is in the country for 10 years and went thru this
Everything he mentioned is true for every student who is leaving his/her city. It’s not only about studying abroad. Anywhere you go , alone, be it in india or anywhere in the world, you will always face this. This is how the world is, and we students get to know this when we leave our houses.
"Struggle is real" thank you for sharing this with us.
If these are struggles then one is not deserve to be successful person....just enjoy those situations and learn from it...
Spend almost 6 years in indian hostel
(boarding school)
I don't know about jealousy between roommate but
There was many KALESH (Chaos) when it come to cleaning (both room and dishes).
There was aslo issue in sharing Bill .
Good one Yudi! Thank you for sharing these things!!
Lived in hostel for 6 years now, everything you told is 100% true.
*I am studying MS in the US now. It has only been like 3 months now and I feel like India is heaven. I will pack my bags and go home as soon as I clear off this fucking educational loan.

Toxic relationship with roommates very real. I had Indian roommates my first year. I also was unaware of it in my first year and it hampered my academic performance
People have shit content on youtube and have more than 500k subs or more than a million subs, but I haven't seen any of your videos which is not worth watching, each and every video of urs has so much of information for everyone. Thanks for all the reality you showed us. Hope you'll achieve heights on youtube as well as in your career bro!
I am really proud that Indians like you are showcasing our country there as well and that too with so much amaze..!!Great Work Mann...Much love and support to you
100% true bro. I had stayed in a hostel for 4 years in my undergrad and I can easily relate each and every point you spoke about in this video.
Some bitter truths!!. What a video 🙌.struggle is real
also there are absolutely gorgeous girls who are very free and open minded ....yet no one looks at you, but through you as if you are as transparent as glass.
This applies to our metros also, basically any place that got westernised suffers from this including many developed Asian countries.
Very well said Yudi ! Having studied in the US & now working here, I can definitely relate to this. Struggle is Real...
Fuck dude!!! So true!!! I have experienced this too!! Being lonely and this feeling is so bad!! Cooking food , akele raho use mobile and akele khana khao!!! Y? Bcoz roommates side you and do groupism...This was my experience when i came in spring!! But eventually I have learned about things!! Still, long way to go and learn things!!! Stay strong and focus on your growth is what i have learnt!!
And i have experienced 100% of the things you have said!!!
This is sooo relatable ..been in usa , everything is relatable.
People just see our success and not our struggle
It's not about other seeing ours it's just people tend to hide hard things about struggle...Now days people think that if we show reality others will think that we are weak or other people will learn something that we didn't earlier.
God bless you Bhai! No one speaks about these struggles which you discussed but everyone goes through it and everyone just tries to show the good side of it. Continue the good stuff
Wow, really appreciate your efforts for telling us these 3 things in advance. Will try to improve the relation with roommates, and seniors. Will definitely do more household work at home , which will help me when I come on campus.
Thank you so much for the reality check , I will have before coming to USA

Really really "Struggle is Real". You are like my big brother, mentor, best friend, god man. Your experiences really helps a lot to all students and will help me also a lot in my dreams thank you so much 😊
this is by far the best video on study abroad I've seen - you are the man, Yudi!
Nice explanation.... I completely agree with you
I went through all these struggles on F1 Visa for almost 8 years...
If you are coming to US on F1 visa be prepared to face struggles, challenging situations and hardships in every aspect of student life.
I have seen some of my F1 visa friends went back to India after staying 2-3 months in USA for various reasons ...
If someone wants to come to USA to study stay focus and prepare to face struggles.
Bro what happens if you dont clear exams? Also every student will get part time job from day 1?
Absolutely
They see your success
But they can’t see your struggle.
They see where you are today...!
They can’t see the journey
And also agree with roommates
I came from israel where i had same friends 8,10 peoples who were there and we came here one by one they changed.
Even if u ask them how much they pay u per hour? ( we are not asking for job details or where he is working) just simple question and they will say “its ok” or “managing..”
Even one of my friend bought a car and said to me “don’t tell anyone yet..”
like cmon man u already purchased it and why ur hiding it,?
Bro this also happens in India... although I understand that no one is comfortable in sharing their income details, but I asked a neighbor who is in same field (not a competitor) about how much company pays and he is like not much.
And on the other hand I helped him so much and shared so much knowledge and experience without keeping any secrets.
I learnt that we should be choosey on what to share with whom.
But few people are not like this, always make friends having similar attitude and behavior as us.
Who thinks that he is 80% ashish Chanchalani 😂😋😋 by the expression and way of talking 😄
