Master in Biomedical Engineering and Engineering & Technology Innovation Management - Batch of 2027
3.6
Brought out my potential.
Tips: I would say that I underestimated the workload here, and after a semester or so, I realised the true intensity of studying. You're also surrounded by some of the smartest and intellectually curious individuals, which certainly helps in broadening your way of thinking. Out of classroom exposure is emphasised as much as within the classrooms, so make sure you get a chance to experience it all.

Very academic environment.
Tips: The first thing I would emphasise is to plan financially, as CMU does not give out scholarships easily, and even if you get one, it is extremely competitive to maintain it as well. Plus, there are no part-time jobs outside of campus to help make ends meet. Being a part of the Indian student association has helped me get comfortable here and given me friends I can rely on. Also, relatively grading is the norm, and if you're stuck early on, please reach out to your professors; they are happy to help.

Place to aspire to study.
Tips: I have experienced a lot of change in my attitude and outlook on how I perceive things and situations. CMU has a very global campus, so you'll meet people from all over the world, especially India. Lots of resources as well, which you should make use of. People can be a bit more reserved than you'd expect, and the classes have a very high academic standard. Try not to burn out during your time here.

Good place and friendly people.
Tips: CMU is one of the most reputed institutions in the USA for various reasons. The quality of education and teaching is among the best. Our professors are well-known in their industries, and students gain a lot of independence. It's also very competitive. While most of us came here for work and settlement opportunities, the current situation makes that seem unrealistic. However, there is a supportive community.

Competitive and studious environment.
Tips: I came here with an open mind and a willingness to learn, which are important for enjoying what CMU has to offer. The post-work situation is complicated, as companies don't offer sponsorships as easily anymore. While I didn't receive a scholarship, I did get early admission, which made my decision to study here easier.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are very limited job opportunities here in the United States, so be prepared for the challenges, which may take a few years to overcome. Many companies are unwilling to offer sponsorships, which complicates the process.

Exceptional faculty and a diverse campus.
Tips: You will get to experience teaching in its various forms, and the labs here are incredible. What I like about CMU is that it continuously upgrades itself, but if you're looking for a more traditional experience, this program might not be ideal. It's quite expensive without a decent scholarship or some form of financial aid, so plan accordingly.

Tips: My program is very niche but has a lot of potential. You will be guided by some of the best in the industry, and none of your learning will go to waste. It is becoming more challenging for international students to get a break, but it is bound to pay off somewhere. People appreciate straightforwardness and less reading between the lines.

There are very few, limited slots for on-campus part-time opportunities.
Tips: CMU is an academic playground, and you can expect to juggle multiple things simultaneously. Don't get overwhelmed, as the campus is welcoming, and the professors are understanding. You'll have ample opportunities to participate in case studies and experiments if that interests you.
Dislikes (Part time work): Honestly, there are no part-time work opportunities, certainly not off-campus. There are very few, limited slots for on-campus positions as well. You'll have better luck finding a hybrid position elsewhere if you need one, as your schedule may not allow it.

Tips: You will be surrounded by some truly passionate people and professors, and the pressure to achieve can get real. There are some popular food stops near campus for Indians, although they may not be as good as what you get back home. CMU allows experimenting with majors, like if you're doing STEM, you can minor in digital marketing. The matches and games are events that people on campus cherish. You should keep an open mind, and you'll have a good time.

Great university, helpful faculty and diverse campus.
Tips: My programme is more research-focused than just classes. I transitioned from another US university so the cultural shift was minimal. The program provides a guaranteed monthly stipend and full tuition. The annual stipend is 40,000 dollars. Pittsburgh is a small city, so the diversity in people is lacking and there are fewer things to do. But there are plenty of opportunities to do outdoor activities. I have not had any issues with safety in Pittsburgh. Public transportation is available late into the night. People are respectful. Even though fewer people are out on the street at night, I have felt walking around. Shops and restaurants are usually close by 9 pm so there is not much to do at night. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with the education.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The political environment is currently unstable under the 2025 Trump administration. This is making immigration options uncertain. Additionally, from having conversations with other international students who have undergone the immigration process, I've realized that the process is long and expensive, but turns out successful if you have done your research and have provided a good portfolio of your work. I would permanently immigrate given the option.

Best research oriented University
Tips: My scholarship is in the process so I might get it and students coming here can also try to get one. University is quite good, the management is really helpful and there are a lot of job opportunities through various on-campus job events. I'm satisfied with the University as it gives me a good study environment.
Likes (Public transportation): PITT students can travel anywhere with the ID card and get many offers included in restaurants. Public transportation is good. The campus is in the centre of the city close to downtown. A lot of tourist attractions nearby the campus itself. You can travel anywhere by bus around the city. Only fewer places need a cab facility.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would not like to permanently settle in this state but I would want to move to a different one. A good salary with a decent car would be perfect to stay in any place in the United States as it's quite expensive. I couldn't adapt to the food easily it takes time. But overall a good place.
