Update


So much to write about... so mach to say, well...

- I've been given the opportunity to study in India for the winter pretty much completely free ( just air fair) and dear daddy said he would help me out with that. But I'm still on the fence, I wonder if I'll be able to take the polarized race relations and remnants of the caste system that I've heard so much about. Also its been a while since I've spent the holidays in the US, I dont know. Ive also been considering leaving Rutgers and moving to Boston with my father . I'm just SO tired from the "jersey shore stereotypes" and frat boys, a general lack of civility on campus, and TERRIBLE professors ! ugh! So I was looking to leave next spring, Here's the prgram description:

For this course, students will spend 3 weeks in the medieval Indian holy town of Vrindavan near Delhi, one of the holiest sites in India, sacred to the deity Krishna. The academic component of the course will primarily consists of an historical study of the philosophical and religious Traditions of India, with a particular focus on the devotional traditions that typify Hinduism. Additional features will include guided tours to the temples and holy places of the region, instruction in the religious art, iconography, song, dance, and other cultural and aesthetic expressions of Hinduism typical of the area, as well as exposure to temple worship, pilgrimage, and the myriad other forms of devotional practice.The course includes excellent living facilities in the Jiva Institute, vegetarian meals, and a consultation with a traditionally trained doctor of Ayurveda, the classical Indian system of health and healing. Trips to the Taj Mahal in the nearby cultural city of Agra will be arranged.

I know sounds amazing right
