Try going to Mexico or Canada and get the visa first. NePal ma kehi Kura ko certain hudaina.

 From my experience there will be no problem for you to get VISA ,do not go to canada or mexico to get stamp
Do it from nepal it will be easy bcoz u already know the procedure.
Best of Luck

 jogi brah!

screw mexico and canada.. sidha nepal gayera visa lida huncha... I went to Nepal after I completed my undergrad and the first year of my masters program. I went there this summer and enjoyed a lot. As you mentioned, I also did not have any savings when I went there. I successfully renewed my visa. I was also thinking of going to canda, but I didnt. If you are attending an accredited university, you should get a visa without any problem (unless its expensive as f..., and you're paying full tuition). And if you have an assistantship/scholarship, things will be even easier. Good Luck. have fun in Nepal!!! 

I renewed mine at Mexico, the process was smooth but a little expensive. At the port of entry, the officer said "we recommend you getting renewed at your home country..." wasn't an issue but I still wouldnt recommend going to Nepal if your visa has already expired. I still had a valid visa when I renewed mine. Just sayinggg..!!!
