University and Research Culture in US (URDU)

Ammar Malik is a recent PhD from GMU and Naveed Iftekhar after many years of working with Min Fin in Pakistan in now in a PhD program in University of Delaware.  

We had a great conversation on how students from countries like Pakistan should approach studying abroad especially in the US. 

They discussed

• what it is they gained from their stay in US university.
• How to get the best out of university in the US.
• How to take advantage of what is offered here.

The important issue of university and research culture came up. Inevitably it led to a contrast with university culture in Pakistan and some discussion on how things could be improved. 

This is an important podcast for all in universities to listen to.
