there must be an india conclave for indian students in your school in purdue. Also ask your International Students advisor, he/she will guide you on the best way to not just reach states, also to your school safely. When I got admission in UMR, I got communicae from ISA(stud advisor) that I should not start from the airport if I reached there beyond 5-30PM as bus journey after that is dangerous (whatever that means). So try tapping your school resources for information like this.

I too have a trip to US coming up (first time) shortly. Those who have migrated from India and those who have travelled to the US before, pl. share some do's and dont's, tips, advice whatever. Will really appreciate.
