Wow, another A for a small liberal arts college in Claremont, CA.
having worked at the external studies office, and having been to a study abroad program myself, I honestly suggest nepali students who have the oppurtunity to study abroad to participate in Study abroad prgrams. It's fun, its cool and its a learning experience, just like that of the colby student featured in the Boston Globe.

Thanks Ranjit for posting this.
And what a small world indeed!!
I am really delighted to see the Globe's coverage of
Elicia's work. She's really smart and is quite
dedicated to her work.
I met her in Far Western Nepal in Dhangadi in Kailali zilla
last December, and spent some time discussing the Kamaiya issue when she was doing background research for her senior-thesis (which she submitted in May 2001). Her thesis was on social movements in South Asia, and which touched upon the Kamaiya's movement for liberation.
On a personal note, she told me that she was "from around Boston", sensing that no one would have heard about her
little town in New Hampshire.
But she got quite a pleasant shock when I mentioned, in Dhangadi, Kailali (of all places!) that I had actually spent a month in 2000 in and around her hometown -- a sleepy town of New Market in the state of New Hampshire -- basically going around and
asking her neighbors and friends to vote for Al Gore :-)
A small world, indeed!!
Here's wishing her all the best as she heads to DC and then
on to a law school of her choice.
