3 days on bus

 


             3 days on Bus



It was a long but a wonderful journey. Travelling on a bus for a hectic 1000km continuously is not normal for any people. Mostly the journey would take about 26- 30 hours but this journey was way longer than that for almost 48 hours. 


   This trip is about a bus journey from Kathmandu to Baitadi, a part of farwestern Nepal. So it was my uncle's wedding so we have to go to our village in the winter of mid February. We were 4 people altogether including me , my father, mother and brother. 


  The journey was not new to me. I have travelled this route at least 10 times. Crossing hills, scenes of mountains and everlasting fields of terai, the journey is full of adventures. The scenery during this travel can give you an idea of how Nepal looks. Our journey started at 12 am from the buspark. 


     However, the landslide stopped our way as a large stone blocked our road. The road was cleared next morning. We were late on the journey by almost 10 hours but fortunately we were very lucky that our bus again stopped due to technical failure. We stopped there for almost 3 hours and then finally our journey started. 


    Although, the travel was very hectic, long and full of difficulties but I didn't get bored in any phase of my journey. I interacted with many unknown people. I get to spend quality time with my family where we talked about a lot of things. My dad was busy talking about politics and government all day with some other elderly people and it was interesting hearing their talks. The only thing that was disturbing was the cold weather. This experience helped me to build my patience and to communicate with strangers and It will always be memorable to me.

NEB vs A level

Difference between NEB +2 board and CIE A levels - In +2 you can either choose science stream or any other stream or you are not allowed to took science and no science courses together and even some sciences are not allowed together like Biology and Computer Science but in A levels you can combine any sort of subjects.  - In A levels sciences practical exams are also highly important as you have to give your practical exams in your centre and its strictly monitored not as +2 where you perform practicals at your own college and teacher sends your marks and one thing you should know that cheating in A levels is like catching fish with your hand in river.      - There are only few colleges where you can study A levels and most of them are inside Kathmandu Valley and only few are in pokhara and one each in chitwan, butwal and biratnagar so there are fewer choices for you but there are thousands of +2 colleges in Nepal.  - A level exam is way vigo...

How should you start your college search?

  Knowing your EFC and researching college   EFC which stands for Expected Family Contribution is a term that you will hear thousands of times while applying to universities especially if you are a student applying for financial aid.  EFC is the fixed amount of money your family is supposed to contribute to your college costs for one year. US universities are pretty expensive and for an average family, it is difficult to pay without taking loans.  However, US university education comes at a different range of prices. Columbia University in the City of Newyork, Uchicago. and Harvey Mudd College are some of the most expensive universities in the US with a sticker price of more than 80k dollars per year for tuition, room, and board. Brigham Young University’s three campuses are the cheapest with an annual tuition below 7000$. Also, you may find cheaper options at community colleges.
