Tips For Nepali Students Applying to the United States/Aboard !!

Studying in US Universities have been passion for all students of this time.
There are many tips and associated "should know" factors.
I found this article, in particular, to be interesting.
http://www.rednepal.com/2008/12/for-nepali-students-applying-to-states.html (dead link at the moment)
At this stage, it looks like students can just do some googling (or yahoo search) and get enough information with in an hour.
However, where to start may still be good question holding one back.
I did write some tips in Time!

International Conference on Frontiers of Physics (ICFP 2009)

BACKGROUND
The aim of the conference is to provide an international forum to the scientists and academicians, especially to young researchers from developing countries, to exchange their new ideas, explore emerging directions both in basic physics as well as on the applied aspects of the various areas of physics. The event will bring theorists and experimentalists on a common forum to inspire exciting and current aspects of Condensed Matter Physics, Plasma Physics, Astro-particle Physics and Environmental Physics and to foster inter-disciplinary research in all areas.

Presentations will comprise of plenary, invited and contributed talks. Ample time will be allowed for poster session.

Nepal Physical Society (NPS) is organizing the conference to celebrate 25th anniversary of its establishment.
ABOUT NPS
NPS was established in 1983 to promote physics research and education. After its establishment, it has been conducting regular meeting of physicists in the nation providing on opportunity for the physicists to present and discuss their research work. The total number of general members of NPS is around 1000 of which about one third are carrying on their research work in developed countries. The society also promotes physics education, research and development work by awarding Prof. Phanindra Prasad Lohani award and Prof. Kedar Nath Khanal award. It also conducts short term programs like workshops and schools on various topics.
