Masters of Science in Electrical & Computer Engineering - Batch of 2027
3.6
Lots of real learning here.
Tips: Very academic and very competitive. I think most of your time here will pass in simply trying to keep up with the level of dedication and competitiveness required to sustain. It has a solid reputation for computer Science and other engineering fields and the professors are some of the finest ones I've learnt from. Indian food options are not as authentic and the weather is largely the same throughout.

Academic oriented and good.
Tips: Engineering and sciences here are data-driven, to the point and great if you're interested in research and broadening your horizons. Learn to think critically and ask for help when stuck; don't just cram everything you learn. Overall, the US is a friendly country, and there are lots of people like you.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty, especially my professors, are truly skilled, great at what they do, and genuinely passionate. I have learnt a lot from them and continue to do so. Teaching is also diverse; there is mixed representation here. You won't find them better.

Tips: This university has been a very interesting experience so far. The grading system is rigid yet flexible and you will have to bring out your A-game in every aspect of your academic life, be it classes or projects. Along with this, you should be an active part of the alumni network to get internship help or placement advice. Overall, I am satisfied with the college and the country.

BS in Computational Media - Batch of 2026
4.5
Georgia Tech for an international freshman is the best if you can balance work and fun.
Tips: For international students from South Asian countries, getting used to doing one's own chores might be challenging but everyone eventually gets accustomed to it. Scholarships are not available to international students as it is a public university. Overall, I love Georgia Teach. I think if one can balance their work and social life, the experience is very lucrative and par every top-tier college in the US.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is great at Georgia Teach: there are many academic and social clubs one can join. Academically oriented clubs are great opportunities for networking while social clubs enable one to meet people with similar interests. Greek life is also a major part of the Georgia Tech experience for many!
Dislikes (Safety): The campus itself is safe: Georgia Tech is a safe bubble. Downtown Atlanta is considered unsafe. As a rule of thumb, it is best not to stay outside beyond 3 AM. There is strength in numbers: travelling in groups is always the preferred option. Campus is safe 99% of the time: campus police patrol the area day and night.

Great academic university.
Tips: The course is pretty good. Lots of resources in terms of job search. There is an opportunity to get funding in terms of student assistant, teaching assistant and research assistant. I really like the university. It's pretty much worth the money. I was able to get used to the culture here.
Likes (Student Life): They have a lot of clubs and activities. They prioritize student health and wellness. They have the robotics club and most clubs don't need prior experience. You can just sign up for anything and they teach you about it from scratch. You get to take part in several competitions.
Dislikes (Safety): We have GTPD and they are always available on call. They do prioritize the safety of the students. This was not on campus but there was a random guy who came up to me and asked me for money. It was definitely scary. There are a lot of homeless people in the area where I live.

Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2022
4.2
Great Tech school with amazing grad program!
Tips: Graduate programs at Georgia tech are well-reputed and provide students with abundant knowledge and exposure. Limitless opportunities are available both during and after graduation from school. Some useful tips while prepping for graduation school: - Reach out to your department and apply for teaching assistantships once you receive the admit. - Email professors and graduation students in the lab (information available on university web page) regarding research assistantships.
Likes (Post study jobs): Even in the field of Aerospace engineering, there are multiple companies that sponsor work visas. As I stayed on for a Ph.D. my knowledge in this domain is limited. From my experience in the lab, industry and national labs are always on the lookout for talented graduation students.
Dislikes (Safety): Multiple safety issues have occurred in the city, but the campus is relatively safe. Housing options close to the campus are recommended. Georgia tech police dept. is extremely responsive in case of any emergency, make sure to contact them. The shuttle system is well-connected and is your best bet for safe transportation in and around campus.

Tips: The transition after moving here hasn't been that hard for me. Because I have a lot of Indian friends here who were like a family to me, they did not make me feel like I was lonely or alone. I did not experience a huge cultural shift except for the food and standard of living. I did not avail of any scholarship or allowance.

Amazing and best University for cybersecurity in USA
Tips: Georgia tech being the top ranked university has rigorous course so students coming to Georgia tech should be ready to do hard work. University is situated in Atlanta city which is diverse so students should be ready to adopt themself in that environment. Personally, I haven't experienced many transitions after coming to Georgia tech. Initially, I faced difficulty in following my culture but later everything came to place. I didn't avail of any scholarship. I am fully satisfied with my university, their course and their way of teaching are very good and of course, the country is beautiful and the best place to settle.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are easily approachable and accessible and they are often willing to guide students after the class. Many faculty members host drop-in office hours where students can discuss their assignments and other stuff. Teaching methodologies that I find unique and interesting are project-based learning, learning through classroom discussions, and lastly learning through case studies. Diversity can be found in teaching faculty in terms of nationality. Faculty members are from South Korea, France, Germany, Taiwan and so on.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If I had to settle permanently in this country then chances of me setting is around 80-90% because it is the best place for my career growth, has good and healthy environment and most important every tech giant company like Google, Microsoft and so on is now opening offices in Atlanta. So would consider setting in the country.

The management is excellent. The competition is very high for internships.
Tips: Before joining the college, one must be prepared to be independent, hardworking, and able to focus very well. Students must know how to reduce their aggression and keep their minds on their goals. They also need to have their own things and be prepared for the nice facilities the college offers. We might get the internship. The competition is very high. Most of my friends got the internship. But once you get it, it will be highly valuable. Even the college tries hard to give you an internship. If you work somewhat hard, then you will get a good internship at a top company.
Likes (Safety): The management of the campus, or the college, whatever you want to call it, takes care of everything that goes on inside the college. They are really good at maintaining security. No one is allowed to bring weapons in. And if we have any complaints, the management responds very well.

Georgia Institute of Technology is a good, but it's the faculty that makes it highly sought after.
Tips: Before joining, do some research to get a clear picture of what's what. You need to know about the quality of the programs they offer and how relevant they are to your career goals. You should also check out the qualifications and experience of the professors in your field. Make sure the college is recognised by the right academic or professional bodies. Check out the classrooms, libraries, labs, and other facilities to see if they are up to date. If you're living on campus, you should check out the living arrangements. You should also look into the companies that visit for recruitment and the average salaries they offer. You should also check if the college has tie-ups for internships and practical training.

Ideal place to thrive.
Tips: I have seen myself transition a lot after I started studying here. My experience has been somewhat positive although it's been a real challenge trying to keep up with my classes and managing my energy here. Work experience is significantly valued here while applying for admissions, and I have been shortlisted for a few roles as well thanks to CMU. There are also plenty of housing options and accommodations to choose from.

Growth and effort pays off.
Tips: My program involves a lot of topics. Download textbooks online if available, as it can get really expensive, and you won't need them for long. The classes are well thought out yet allow flexibility at the same time, which is what I like the most.

Challenge yourself to stand out here.
Tips: I have met some of the best people in my time here, and I've come out of my shell as well. CMU will expose you to some of the most innovative opportunities where you are encouraged to explore and innovate. There are barely any jobs or work available, so please come mentally prepared. The desi community goes all out for events, so you have something to look forward to.

A very welcoming and energetic campus with diversity.
Tips: It is a very welcoming and energetic campus with people of all sorts, including a ton of diversity. Psych here is heavy with a lot of aspects aside from disorders, and your writing skills will be put to use. Don't hesitate to speak up and express any doubts if there are any. You'll be fine once you find your footing. Also, try to engage during classes and actively participate in events.
