This article is aimed to help the students who are freshman and have little knowledge about college system in America. And, believe me there are many, particularly among the new immigrants.

A few semesters ago, an Indian girl migrated here from some village in Punjab was having hard time registering for her classes. This was almost the end of registration. Most of the classes were filled out. Every time she wanted to select a course it was either full or was conflicting with other course that she already had. When I started to help, I really thought she was a freshman and it is normal to face such difficulties for her. After I finished, she told me that she had been here all day and that her parents must be worried for her. She being an Indian, I felt little close to her and also because I know the common fears of the Indian parents. I called her parents to inform them that she was okay and will be home soon. I left her with a note that she could come to me any time she needed help.
