hey guys I'm gonna be interviewing my friend Jamal over here today
hello I'm Jamal I'm from Pakistan I'm I've been here for like a year and I'm
doing major in Physics and my minor in Astronomy. Okay so we're going to be
asking Jamal a few questions today and we're going to start off with what was
kind of the first thing you saw here that was a lot different from what
you're used to back in Pakistan. Well the first thing that I saw was like people
here are very different they're more open about subjects or in general they're
more open about like what I'm not used to like people in Pakistan they're not
very open and there's another thing to people here are too PC you know like
they get offended so easily back in my country you can like yell at somebody
do whatever you want nobody gets offended yeah I feel like that sometimes
too like in Serbia is more open for that kind of stuff okay so what what would
you recommend for some international students to do it to cope with some
cultural issues they might have so I would recommend that like international
students that are planning to come here they should start watching like TV shows
and movies that are like cultural sort of and there so they can wrap their head
around that people here are different so you had... Like college movies
like American pie... no, no, no that's stupid you know I watched it and I was so happy
oh this is what's gonna happen. It's not like that yeah. yeah that's that's good
because a lot of people think is going to be of that, for like movies. The first
day I got here my friends were like okay so how many drinks have you had
how many girls did you hook up with? I just got here like it's been a day. Okay so um how
is for example the school system here different than the school system
then you use the back in Pakistan? School system back there is all memorization
You basically they give you textbooks and you have to memorize each and every
test or word by word like some teachers are so strict that even if you change
like a little bit for example the word like synonyms or something he'll deduct
your grades and like it's competitive compared to here like each student
cares about always gonna be the first guy he's gonna have first position here
nobody cares and it's more about concept Everybody cares about themselves yeah
not about others. Yeah I mean here it's more of a concept which I like yes you
can write and because I understand idea not every factual detail yeah yeah yeah
that's smart I feel the same way too okay so how do you feel about spending
time with international students from other countries not from like Pakistan
I feel weird like most of my friends are from different countries for example
view and a couple more from like Nepal and India and all the way around the world it's really
fun like you get to experience how their life of their culture is their food I
love food okay so yeah did you want to add something - no okay so what about
spending time with Pakistani students because there are a few Pakistani students yeah there
were like a hundred I do know all of them like most of them
like I know other faces not I don't know that my name I just say hi hello because
I'm in a organization, but other than that like I have like two three
friends that I hang with sometime and like I usually avoid them
because I'm like I've met these people back home oh okay here I should learn
something different yeah and meet new people yeah okay so what about American
you just mentioned meeting new people. What about Americans? Americans like I have like five
or six American friends four of them are my roommates
so they're pretty tough yeah you know and there's another guy's a graduate
student in his name is Marty mm-hmm he has actually been to Pakistan and
India and now he's learning Urdu on a professional level really so he's
like really good. So do you guys talk in Urdu for example? He knows like he's
going there this summer to start learning. Okay yeah. Okay
that's interesting okay but let's so I know you live off-campus in an apartment
but what are some of your favorite activities to do on campus like sports
mostly okay like swimming, ping pong, I don't really play basketball. I saw you playing racquetball
Yeah I play racquetball a lot. Okay so those sports for example are not you're like "typical"
American sports do you find a lot of people to play with? Not really, like I'm
still looking for people so if anyone here from MSU is watching please play
racquetball with me! I'm desperate! But ping pong yeah that
is like there's a lot of people who play ping pong like this recently like put a
table at CSU now it's all like crowded. Is it international students mostly?
Yeah mostly Nepali and Indians. Okay that's interesting. Asians mostly. Okay another
question a lot of international students always think about is how important is
it to work here and do you personally work here on campus? I'm planning to like
I actually got a job offer for next semester like I've been trying you ever
since I got here because like dollars compared to Rupees
like 1 rupees like point zero zero one dollar
pretty much paying like $4,000 like back home it's like pain 400,000 like that's
too much burden and like you need a job if you want to come here unless you're
super rich and you drive a sports car back home then you're fine. There are students like that
too here. You okay so what kind of job did you get?
I got a job in that University Dining Center. I would say like don't
be shy just get whatever job you can get like I also did snow shuffling so but
don't be shy just get whatever job it's not embarrassing work is work
okay yeah and just a side note international students can only work up
to 20 hours a week on campus just you guys know okay so um going from Pakistan
which is mostly like a very warm country for coming here to Minnesota how did you
even come hear about the school and why did you choose to come here what what
were some of the main reasons why you choose to come here? So like I didn't
really have any reason I was like back home like there's no physics program
like this okay I get to do a physics degree the best thing you will be a high
school teacher the university teacher I didn't want that I want to do research so
my friend that he actually came here before me like one semester before me
so he told me about this I looked it up I applied and like the tuition was
manageable so I was like, I'm gonna go there. International students here at MSU Mankato don't have to pay
out-of-state tuition which is in most colleges it's usually at least double the
tuition that domestic students pay from their home
states it's a big difference okay so last question is kind of Would
you recommend some fellow Pakistani students to come here and why or why not?
Oh yes definitely it's super fun especially like all of my friends are still like planning to go to
university please come here like all of us together we can smash windows again
and do all that stuff without getting caught hopefully. That was epic Jamal
thanks bro and be sure to subscribe like and comment

description. Of course. BYE
