[@thiror100]

yeah, I'm european and the only way I could afford my us college education was due to financial aid covering tuition and most fees, there are a lot of rich international students though that simply never think about the financial aid struggle and pay like 80k/year on tuition which is insane to me 😫

@@razorultra9202 Depends on the age that person first started being around those people with a different accent. For example a 5 year old if born in India moves to USA then in 1 years time this 5 year old will have an American accent. However, if someone moves to USA at 17 or 18 from India and then lives in USA for 10 years or more and has an accent then chances are that they are putting it on.
