Students also shouldn’t hesitate to contact HUCEP even if they’re walking in groups. Students, being social animals, tend to walk around campus with their friends. Encouraging groups to use HUCEP would lend a relaxed air to the service, which would make students more apt...
...instance, it can hardly be expected that all Engineering Sciences concentrators—with a mammoth 20 required credits for a Bachelor of Science degree—will study abroad. Government concentrators, with a more manageable 10-14 required credits, enjoy a more flexible curriculum and could be more apt to spend a semester abroad.

In January the Hindu Vajpayee met Pakistan's Muslim President Pervez Musharraf...
