Meet four students of Bhaktivedanta College coming from all parts of the world. Hear them share their experiences of the college so far--some are sad of finishing their third year, others enjoying the prasad, kirtan, and devotee association--but all the same are happy with their studying and stay in the Radhadesh community.
