Master of Engineering Management - Batch of 2025
4.3
The universe is diverse and worth the money totally.
Tips: The university is great and gives you lots of great experiences. There are sometimes scholarships too. The quality of the faculty here is very good. There are no limits to the learning you can do at this university. It can be a bit daunting with the job market, but if we push through, maybe we can make this happen.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is a bit pricey since the restaurants are not really Indian but if you have a part-time job, it's still affordable. There are food coupons available from the university sometimes. The cost of food is on the pricier side, but it is in reach.

There are a bunch of opportunities, so keep looking around until you find one that's right for you.
Tips: There are a few scholarship opportunities, so make sure you apply early. Part-time work can be secured while you are in India. Make sure to avail yourself of that option if you can. And you need to start networking as early as you can. There are lots of on-campus events where you can meet industry folks. The campus is beautiful and has a garden that’s a tourist attraction. And the fall semester has a Duke football tailgate event, which is pretty great as well. If you are looking for a college with great sports teams, great facilities, and a great student community, then consider Duke University.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are tons of options available for part-time work, most of which can be found on the Duke-specific job site, Jobx. The other option is to look for a TA position. This means you start emailing professors early on and following up.

You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people.
Tips: There is very little diversity in the MEM program, and you need to prepare yourself to connect with people outside of the program. Make sure to take full advantage of the different clubs at Duke and join as per your liking. Attend all the fun events on campus and try to stay on campus as much as possible.
Likes (Student Life): Duke has the best college experience because of the basketball team and a lot of international diversity on campus. There are a lot of fun events happening around campus. The campus is very beautiful and aesthetic, and you can stay on campus for the entire day.
Dislikes (Internships): The career fair at Duke is not that helpful as there are very few companies that participate, and ones who participate mostly don't sponsor. You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people over LinkedIn for referrals.

Fun, sports-oriented school that gives a great environment for students.
Tips: Learn about Duke Basketball and the NBA history from Duke. Most of the college's history relies on this, and it's easier to understand and relate to it. Attend as many events and games as possible, even if they clash with your exams and classes. This is once in a lifetime experience.

Duke is good but there is not much help to international students with job networking events.
Tips: The Indian community at Duke is strong, so the transition to life on campus was pretty easy. I secured a merit scholarship automatically when I applied. I do a lot of my own cooking, but there are a few good Indian restaurants close to Duke that offer all kinds of amazing options for a decent price. I've even gotten two meals out of some dishes, so if you don't want to cook, you've got great alternatives. Also, there are other options not far away if you're down for a short drive. I’m happy with Duke, but I wish it provided more help to international students with job networking events or something of that nature.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is not very reliable and not too safe. Using Duke's buses is helpful and a game-changer. Since most events and necessities happen around Duke, it is manageable without a car and just by using the university transport. Otherwise, having a car is very important.

Comfortable learning environment, diverse courses and highly qualified faculty.
Tips: Duke is a great university. You can get everything that you desire here. The sports are amazing, the facilities are great as well. They provide scholarships to a lot of individuals who apply. It is directly connected to your applications, and no need to apply separately.
Likes (Indian Food): The food here is super diverse, and there are many Indian options for students. There are a number of different Indian places in Cary and Raleigh, but there are also restaurants that serve Indian cuisine at the campus food court. Most of the food I've tried there has been pretty delicious, and they have a whole separate market that has authentic Indian food for sale as well.
Dislikes (Safety): The apartments are gated, but not all of them. Some are very unsafe and have no security. There have been shootings across various off-campus housing. The public transport is a little risky, and a lot of homeless people and addicts live close to the West campus.

The tuition is quite high but the experience is worth it.
Tips: Take courses outside of your programme as they add a lot more value than you expect them to. The tuition is quite high, but I think it is worth it. The faculty and the courses make up for it all.
Likes (Student Life): There's always an event happening at one place or another, they try to make students' lives as enriching as possible. The college provides amazing resources to all students. There's also events to de-stress and relax for when you are worried about internship search etc.
Dislikes (Safety): The public transport here is not very safe. There's also often shooting and muggings happening around Durham. The campus itself is very safe, but outside, you always have to be on high alert. Many students have reported hearing gunshots late into the night, and some have seen people pull out a gun while they were walking.

College life is great. We have sports, events and many on-campus extracurricular activities.
Tips: The university itself has an Indian place, so you definitely won't be going hungry. There is truly a lot to enjoy at Duke. The sports are amazing, the facilities are great as well. The faculty is highly knowledgeable and helpful.
Likes (Indian Food): There is an abundance of food that caters to multiple tastes from all over the world. You can find many options for South Asian and North Asian cuisine, and there’s even some Mexican and Southern food, too.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The public transportation here is not very reliable. There are only a few buses that come infrequently, and there are no buses at all on weekends. The buses are irregular and randomly decide not to show up. There are no trains or subways, so the only option is buses, which is bad.

A transformative journey with good opportunities.
Tips: While the academic environment is intellectually stimulating and paced with opportunities, it also demands a high level of independence, especially with internships, living in an apartment, etc. I received a scholarship, and the scholarship amount and who gets it will be decided by the admissions committee. You don't have to do anything additional. I am highly satisfied with the course, the country and the university. The exposure, diverse community and academic community will help you grow both personally and academically.
Likes (Student Life): Duke offers an incredible, vibrant and well-rounded experience beyond academics. A typical day for me involves attending classes, working part-time, going to the gym and spending time with friends. The campus is always buzzing with activity, from social mixers to game nights. There is something happening on campus almost every day. The range of student clubs is impressive, whether you are into consulting or dance, you have a student club for everything.
Dislikes (Internships): Duke Career Services is amazing and does a lot of great work behind the scenes, like organising career fairs and resume support. However, no explicit support is provided, like companies coming to campus to hire us, which makes it difficult to find an internship, as the burden falls on you.

Tips: My favourite part of college has been the professors and how involved and encouraging they are. They have made this college a supportive and inclusive environment. Aside from this, the campus amenities such as housing, food and transport are much better than you'd expect. The public transportation is very flexible, accessible and affordable to travel and explore the city.

Good experience overall, more beneficial for students with a non-business background
Tips: Great environment for international folks. Everyone here embrace diversity and inclusion. It was not an easy transition to move from a happening city to a calmer place like Durham but the events at Duke made up for the lack of places to explore around. The course is more useful if you come from a non-business background. Placements have not been great due to the job market.
Likes (Part time work): Lots of opportunities to do on-campus work. The community is welcoming to hire international students and no problems have been faced regarding it so far. Manageable workload depending on your role. TA roles are also available for students on the colleges' own job portals.
Dislikes (Safety): The city in which the college is situated has a high crime rate but students and gate communities are well protected with security & constant patrolling. The campus is extremely safe at any time. No good or bad experiences so far on or off campus, but always stay alert.

The Duke name helps in getting opportunities.
Tips: Not a major cultural shift, since this course attracts a lot of Indians. You should be actively participating in activities around you or you will miss out. I did not receive any scholarships. The university was very satisfactory, it offers guidance, security, and a platform to make the best of your career. As for the programme, it's as good as you make of it. It is designed to give you an introduction to most things, not a deep drive, it opens new horizons of thinking and changes your perspectives on decision-making and your approach, but there is a lot of self-effort required.
Likes (Student Life): Attending lectures, participating in the various activities going in the campus, from information sessions to painting sessions. I attended about 3 events each week. All kinds of clubs are present, from data, and sustainable energy, to mediation and music clubs.
Dislikes (Internships): The Career Center does provide guidance but it is limited and the students are expected to do most of the work. The availability of internships changes every year, during my first year, we had to scour a lot, during my second year I saw the incoming batch getting lots of calls by October itself. Overall, the location is good for the search, the Duke name helps, but it's mostly dependent on the market situation during that time.

Great opportunity, but be clear and aware.
Tips: Make sure you have a clear goal in mind what you want to achieve after graduation. Keep aside a certain amount for living expenses, as finding an on-campus job is tricky. Most master's programs do not have diversity, so do not be shocked if you do not see it here.
Likes (Indian Food): One can get a good Indian meal in the $10-$20 range. There are good restaurants, and Indian groceries are pretty accessible. Check out Lime & Lemon, Indian Monsoon, and Anjappar in Carry as a few good options. Eating out in the US regularly can burn a hole in your pockets, so make sure you know or learn how to cook.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The US is heavy on the individualistic culture; hence, there is a lack of decent public transportation. The bus arrives in an hour, so you must plan your visits accordingly. Make sure you stay within the vicinity of the campus to make things easy for you. Public transportation is free for the residents of Durham.

The alumni network is resourceful.
Tips: Great quality of academics and a very competitive environment. Friendly professors and a wide variety of streams to choose from. Flexibility in the course structure and great help from peers. Extensive alumni network. Can be better at helping in the job search.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Extraordinary faculty members with lots of real-world and teaching experience. Great curriculum design with practical training. Flexible and adaptive according to students' requirements. Feedback-based curriculum updates and lots of industry networking will be helpful for job search.
Dislikes (Safety): Multiple incidents near my residential area which is located 10 minutes away from the campus. Very unsafe at night especially with no public transport available after 9. No nearby restaurants and sparsely populated which increases the number of people getting out during the night for dinner and getting robbed.

Best faculty, course and campus blend you will ever see.
Tips: Coming to the US for the first time will be a big culture shift. It does take time to adjust to the people living here but one will soon adjust. The classes and assignments do take up a lot of time. The best part of Duke is the flexibility of choosing courses and catering to one's own needs. Scholarships are rarely available. The course is value for money because of the faculty members and the network you develop here.
Likes (Student Life): Best part about the campus is the architecture. Built in a gothic style it shows a blend of modern and old architecture. Students have classes mostly in West Campus which is new and has a lot of eateries and work stations. Campus is always with multiple events going around all day throughout the campus.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Being closer to Raleigh and Carry helps Durham's case here. Durham is a small town with limited resources for long term settlement but a great place to stay short-term. Durham is located in the Triangle area which is growing really fast offices of big tech firms popping up. Meta, Google etc. have their office space being built. You will find companies like Toshiba and Lenovo have their main branches in RTC area.

Surprising yet worthwhile.
Tips: Before joining, just try to know your professors and which subjects they teach as it really helps if you connect with them early. Check the coursework once, learn about the scholarships and assistantships. Join clubs too, because that's where you meet seniors and your first seniors. For coursework, I'd give a 3.7/5 because data science doesn't have its own department yet and I expected slightly more. But for the university and country, 5/5.

Opportunities here are very rare we got to grab them with both hands.
Tips: Cultural shift depends on what kind of person you are; some start adapting to this culture, and a few might need time. I have been offered the Bauer Excellence Scholarship from UH Bauer. It is around $5000, and it makes you eligible for in-state tuition fees, which is 50% of your actual fee.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good; you'll explore a lot. The university itself is a great place to hang out. They do have a lot of student clubs, but you'll barely find time to be in them as you will end up spending most of your student life in part-time jobs. But you can explore a lot.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships in the US are highly competitive and significantly tougher to secure compared to those in India. With thousands of qualified candidates around the world applying for a limited number of positions, the selection process is often rigorous.

Tips: Students should educate themselves on the various courses and the part-time positions available. I personally did not avail any scholarships, but there are numerous scholarships to qualify for. The coursework is highly satisfactory, and there is qualified faculty. The quality of education and facilities meets the requirements. The faculty come from varied backgrounds, ranging from Energy, IT, to Food, Service Industries. The experience is worth the fee as it allows individuals to explore personal and professional experiences from a new perspective.
Dislikes (Internships): If you can attend the mixers, internship chances are very high. Though nothing is guaranteed, the chances increase with your participation. The internships will be relevant to your field of study if you target the specific batch of organisations that are of interest to you.

Well facilitated college.
Tips: Coming to the US to pursue studies is a dream come true moment for most people. The college system in the US is slightly different than in India. You can get international student scholarships as well as assistantships if you look into the college job and scholarship portals. For some universities, you can also be eligible for an in-state tuition waiver which reduces your tuition fee to half.

Good college if your budget is low and want to settle in Houston. Many Indian people live here.
Tips: The university is in Houston, Texas. So you can easily find Indian food options and grocery shopping in certain areas. Rent is cheaper compared to big cities if you are living together with roommates. The climate is very hot like India with winters being average could but it doesn't snow there. I found people to be very friendly and helpful there, but I went during times of covering from COVID, so I didn't see many people on the street. They gave me a full scholarship for a semester because of my good academic profile. I had a 4 GPA at the end. You'll get emails about these scholarships before the start of the semester also. Professors are also very knowledgeable and good to connect with. Good university if you want to do Master's on a low budget and less crowded city. To find a job, it's best to do networking with professors and the American people there to boost your chances.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time work as a research assistant and a teaching assistant is available for around 12-20 per hour. Off-campus, I also know people who have worked, but they found the job because of their network. At Master's level, it's easily manageable to work and study if you already have studied similar subjects in your Bachelor's. You just have to revise well and pay attention in classes. Stick to the notes and materials the professor gives.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Kind of difficult to find jobs right now. They do help with resume services and job portals; but it's your responsibility also to keep networking with the right people. I think for a beginner you should easily get 60,000 -70,000, also if you have prior internships and certification.
