6 things I wish I knew before studying in the US

6. Desmond Loh Qi Hong

Degree: BA in Cinematography and Film/Video Production

University: California State University, Northridge

I wish I had known how slow-paced people are in Northridge, Los Angeles, US.

I was in New York and I was like, “Damn, everybody here is so quick and efficient, but where my university is located, everyone’s slow.”

That’s not all; the quality of life isn’t the best either — take rent and tax as an example. Coming from Malaysia, I think the quality of life is slightly higher, like with cheaper rent.

But that doesn’t mean it’s all that bad; people at my university are more down-to-earth, and I have a lot of good friends here. They do not have an ego, and we all share the same financial struggles.
