I really wanted to go to India this year, but what a bummer. BUT, LOL. Girl, don't be so nervous. Just have fun. About the monkey, have some fruits next to you, and don't have your camera. LOL. they are pretty good in stealing stuff! There's actually nothing to worry about the food. The food is good, and the people...well, it just takes sometime, but you will get use to it, and I totally agree about the water comment! And make sure that you don't go alone anywhere. Just get ur buddies, and go together! Just chillax and have fun! :) Ah, man!

For those who do not live and interact on champus it must seems like all is well, and our tuition increases are being spent wisely . Frankly after living here for 3+ years and seeing cost go through the roof , I often wonder what I am paying for. Many in Amarillo see WT as just a big high school; which I think is appropiate considering the nature of things. One cannot forget the financial boondoggle that is known as the Fine Arts Center; and neither should you! And now we have a Clock Tower....don't get me started. And YES , there are not enough parking spot for even those who actually live here. If you don't know that then you don't have enough experience about it to comment. Unfortunatly the only profs I really know are the ones I've had problems with, (the one that nearly took a swing at me just for asking a question, only to find out this guy has had this problem for years). Age and experience (40's)have taught me that ignoring problems and issues is foolish. Within this I really would like to be able to recommend WT, but in my heart of hearts, I cannot....:( Actually your response sure does sound like you were chosen .

I have taught online since the Spring Semester of 2000 and every student who has done what is suggested here has done very well in my courses.

All you guys talk about is worrying about who is gonna be in the HELC, and trips out of the country. Why not focus in on what is going on at WT. Talk about tuition increases, or pains about construction. I understand that there are good things, lots of them about WT, but there are just as many bad things too.

It seems to me that you are here to put a good face on everything, and find the one good thing among all the bad to promote. It would appear that the people in charge picked the most PC, blindly loving, people to blog it up about WT. I mean...worrying about who is in the helc? Come on.

Avoid tabwater as much as possible. Even for cleaning your thoothbrush have it as a rule that you always boil water or use bottle water. Nothing worse than being sick on a holiday! Food is yummy, check out the Indian McDonalds just see their vivion on what a burger should be like. Monkeys? run hard, run fast! Just kidding but don't give them food they have the tendency to act like animals. ;) Hope you have a splendid time! Hey Kelsi,

Don't travel in a cab alone.Make sure u have a huge black guy with rippling muscles beside you.We are afraid of huge black guys. And don't act all brave believing the cops in India will rush to your rescue if the need arises.WRONG!! that's not gonna happen.they are fat, they are lazy, and they are stupid.but that said, it's good to have their number on your cellphones anyway.maybe their big fat asses will scare away the potential troublemakers. Try and not get into squabbles with rural Indians or for that matter urban Indians.Some of us are mental. you might want to read the following two stories for confirmation: http://www.ibnlive.com/news/local-revelers-in-kochi-molest-swedish-girl/55436-3.html http://www.ibnlive.com/news/new-year-horror-mob-molests-2-mumbai-girls/55426-3.html Anyway, now that i've given you tips on what to expect and how to go about let me welcome you officially to India.Namaste! And, yeah, there are lots of great things in India, a lot, but i absolutely hate it when i hear stories about girls getting harmed and to me that kind of negates whatever effect the sight of the taj mahal or the red fort has on your soul. Once again, DO NOT go walking in the streetes during nights! DO NOT travel via abandoned/semi-abandoned roads! and since ur 14 guys i suggest you STICK TOGETHER!!!! :) But Seriously im sure ull have fun.Take Care.Don't get scared by the stuff i said, im just saying, that's all. alright, let me do u a favor, as an Indian who knows how things go down here. ill give u a few tips.
1) how will people behave with you?
since ur white some of us will stare at you like you got a big fat tarantula on your face. but ull get used to it.most of them, during day, will be friendly to you.autorickshaw drivers, cab drivers, and sellers will try to swindle you.And might succeed too.
2)will you be safe?
a very important question.i read that ur with 14 other students.that’s a relief cuz a solitary white girl coming to visit india, no matter what people tell you, is an idea as stupid as having a tarantula on your face.Now i’m not saying my fellow country men are a bunch of dangerous turds but some of them do a pretty good impression of them.
