Hello guys, on this episode your Hosts Abood and Joss invite their friends Fez and Susy to talk about their college experience, the decision of coming to college to the United States, the differences in the education systems from our home countries compared to The USA and whether it lived up to our expectations. We also touch on the "option" of going to college and if we as foreigners felt like we had a choice on deciding the career paths we took or to go to college at all.

Now that we are working professionals, we ask ourselves the biggest question of it all, where the last 4-5 years worth it?
