Master of Computer Science - Batch of 2027
3.8
Good for growth and learning.
Tips: My experience in Texas state so far has been pretty positive here with good professors and peers. The faculty is truly knowledgeable in their fields and classrooms often have a lot of industrial knowledge included. The administrative systems are sometimes long drawn and can feel like you're stuck in a loop, especially when it comes to stuff like course registration. The location is ideal as well.

Something here for everyone.
Tips: I did experience several cultural shocks, but at small scales and nothing too out of the ordinary. People are friendly and open, which made things a bit reassuring. Classes are research intensive, but they could be conducted in a better format honestly. Scholarships are given out mostly on a merit basis, and it is helpful in easing the financial burden of the cost of tuition here. There are frequent career fairs and you shouldn't hesitate to check them out.

Some faculty is truly exceptional.
Tips: Location and cost of tuition are both on the higher side so make sure you have thought it through and explore your options as well. Very busy campus, and professors are helpful for job prospects and networking opportunities if you connect with them. Can be better in terms of safety.
Dislikes (Part time work): Limited opportunities for part time both on and off campus. On campus, you'll have better chances if you look at some of the less sought after options and if you're able to adjust it in your schedule while managing your workload as well. There are teaching and research assistantships as well.

Good place and good city.
Tips: Cultural differences are almost everywhere, but it is a part of the process and as long as you're observant and respectful of people's time and space, you'll be fine. The quality of education is good but somehow the cost of tuition is unjustified. You'll get good access to internships and events and if you take advantage of it, it can really help you out. The student body is supportive and there is a help centre for any extra assistance you might need.

Tips: Every student here has had their own journey and goal and this reflects on the school's population. Very diverse and inclusive campus with great connectivity because of its location. Tuition is quite expensive, so it makes more sense to come here with some kind of funding else there are better options in terms of ranking and tuition.

Had a learning journey in CSU.
Tips: I have grown a lot as a person after coming here and my experiences with people have helped in shaping me. CSU has an accepting and diverse culture, so you won't feel too left out. It's located downtown, which is one of the most promising areas for industrial and networking potential. It will suit you if you prefer living and working in a more independent format. Learn to cut costs and try to find a guarantee if you're planning on renting a place, as this will help save extra charges.

Very versatile university.
Tips: For me, the environment was new but not familiar, as I had spent most of my educational journey away from my hometown, so settling in wasn't particularly difficult. In an environment such as this, you have to be more proactive with both social groups and in the classrooms. Job opportunities are limited and you'll need at least a Master's to stand a chance. Rent depends on location and where the campus is can be a bit more expensive than the rest, but there are a lot of computers.

A supportive, diverse and enriching academic experience.
Tips: Transitioning here was a smooth process, although there was a cultural adjustment initially in terms of adapting to diverse perspectives and independent learning. However, I easily made some good local friends who helped me adapt to things here.
Likes (Post study jobs): College life is vibrant and well-balanced, offering ample opportunities for learning, socialising, and personal growth daily. Regular cultural, technical, and sports events are organised, and I enjoy participating in them as they boost my confidence and teamwork skills. The presence of active student clubs makes the environment more engaging.
Dislikes (Value for money): The faculty in my department are highly approachable and always willing to clarify doubts, both inside and outside of class. They use interactive teaching methods, blending theory with practical examples, which makes learning more engaging. Furthermore, the faculty is diverse.

Diversity in terms of people and experiences.
Tips: Before joining, students should research programs, campus resources, and opportunities for involvement. Transitioning here involved adapting to a diverse culture and urban setting.

Likes (Student Life): The university offers a diverse student life with engaging events and clubs. Its urban campus fosters academic growth and vibrant community connections. There are varieties of student clubs that include almost every available field. The college is situated in the downtown is a main advantage
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current job market is bad and it has nothing specific to do with the university. Common roles include software engineer and data analyst. However, I am not sure about specific data related to how many company offers roles and the salary package.

Faculty is also not good in their field and they are also not interested in spreading the knowledge they have
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good. Have good connectivity. You will have RTA college sticker on your college ID which you can use to have free ride across Cleveland. RTA buses are really great and they have better connectivity. Ohio especially Cleveland have better public transport.
Dislikes (Safety): Area wise not good. Many crimes are reported each and every day. You can look on the internet about the area. It is a criminal city and it's in the top 25 world crime cities. Not safe at night. Many homeless people are roaming around and asking for a dollar.

Stringent with teachers and academic policies.
Tips: Computer Science is a bit tough class for students who do not belongs to CS in their bachelor's class. Do not expect this to be fun loving university. Academic policies are exasperating and you'll spend every week studying and studying only. Plagiarism is a real heat so do not cheat.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is free and is good. You can roam around the city with your student bus pass, the bus pass is provided by the university itself and you could use it to go anywhere i.e part-time or college. It cost 40$ a month and is included in your tuition fees. The majority of Indian students use this bus pass for going to university every day.
Dislikes (Student Life): From student's perspective the quality of academic life is degrading day by day because of some stringent teachers of Computer Science. There is free public transport, so it's a good thing. This is not so expensive city, with rent and food compared to other cities in the US. A large number of Indian population is here.

Good college but financially little costly for money spent here
Tips: I was acclimated to the US culture because I had friends studying here already. You can attain scholarships if you maintain a good gpa in the first semester of around 3500$ per semester and it would go up to 6000$ per semester. If someone gets an assistantship they could get up to 10000$ scholarship.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is right in the middle of downtown. The college has a railway station within 10 min walk and has bus stops next to every building. The campus has a security escort service at night if there is an emergency and is required to travel in the night when buses or trains are not available.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs on campus are very deficit. The average payout is around 10$/hr. Jobs are usually available on handshake to apply and aramark website to apply. The usual working hours are around 20 hrs per week and the weekly payout is 800$/week. The jobs are usually hard to get due to low availability.

The campus of UCSB is breathtaking and the outdoors are very inviting hence activities like trekking, hiking and volleyball are popular among students to unwind after a long day. Finally, I would suggest that before you reach campus, figure out your accommodation preference and sign up for a meal plan if you plan on staying within campus most of the time.

It is a great place to learn.
Tips: I've really enjoyed my time at this university. I've been able to pursue my interests and develop my strengths. The location is a big plus, too. There's lots of outdoor space to explore. Just remember to limit your consumption of outside food, since it's a lot more expensive in California than in other places. But overall, I'm really happy with my experience here.

One of a kind college life with great and friendly faculty.

This was also because of all the supportive and like-minded individuals I have met on campus which is what UCSB is pretty well known for as well. Overall, I am pretty satisfied and grateful for my experience.

It has been a very valuable experience for me with great faculty to guide me throughout.
Tips: I have transitioned positively after coming here. The campus is beautiful and has a lot of scenic views. The academic environment is quite rigorous and there is a lot of emphasis on research. Registration is much simpler than other colleges and you are encouraged to seek help if needed. UCSB has the most electric and energetic environment you can think of. The campus is perpetually in a state of excitement and there is always an event, a game or a club activity to do where people are very welcoming. I've personally enjoyed the adventure clubs as well as Scuba.
