I have rented from them twice (currently in the second apartment). I have had no problems with them. They fixed issues whenever they happened, were quite reasonable to talk to and negotiate the contract with, kept the common areas clean and got bills promptly. Some of them also spoke English, which was very helpful in the beginning. They also do renovations of the common areas sometimes.

The only downside I think is that they charge more than average rent for the area, which I am fine with considering all the problems my friends have renting from independent landlords.

Wow! People sure are quite negative about this. I think its quite a good project. If not anything, there is always more to learn about interesting concepts and ideas.

Thank you for your wonderful contribution to the Erlang community.

Relevant: See Dangerous Knowledge (Philosophy, Physics, Mathematics) -BBC. A documentary of four mathematicians who went "insane" trying to study infinity.

See this video for one of the ideas on why this hasn't happened yet.

I think he was trying to show how a frame of reference is important to convey information at a meaningful level. He just states the facts in the last minute because he couldn't really explain how magnets work in simple terms.

Then again, its just as open to your interpretation as mine.

He also said this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjmtJpzoW0o - There are things in advanced physics that cannot be explained in layman terms simply because there is nothing equivalent to compare with. One can always try and convince the questioner but it would be just (technically) wrong.

One doesn't really need to know Hindi to be in India (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India) but it sure does help when travelling :)

I've completed my engineering in Bangalore so I can give a few pointers.

• There usually is a separate procedure for international students and almost everyone who applies is selected. You just need decent grades.

• The fees, relative to what Indians are charged, is higher and may be in the order of $5000 to $10000 per year.

• Its should be very easy to get a job for you to live a comfortable life in India with a college degree.

• Cost of living is less and you can have a comfortable student life with around $300 to $1000 a month. Its cheaper if you cook.

On how to apply to colleges,

• Research online on what colleges have the best courses and shortlist them. Contact them directly via e-mail and get to know details on how to apply to them. Unfortunately, there is no standard procedure across colleges for international students.

Let me know if you need more details.

Welcome to the club!

I like how everyone is so chilled out in this community :D

Looks like all thumbnails in this subreddit are disabled.

Cheers!

Engineers use whatever they can find!

Thanks for the advice!

Good eyes :)

Interesting you noticed the map :). Its a map of Linkoping.

I do have a headset. Just not visible in the picture.
