Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2027
4.2
A demanding but rewarding experience at Politecnico Di Milano.
Tips: Before joining Politecnico di Milano students should know that courses are demanding and require self discipline. Basic Italian helps a lot in daily life outside the university. The education system is different with more focus on independent learning. Transition will be challenging but manageable. I got the DSU scholarship, which covers 95% of your expenses throughout your university journey.
Likes (Safety): My experience in Milan has been very positive in terms of feeling secure. The city is generally peaceful and I have not faced any situations where I felt unsafe even when travelling alone at night. Public transport is well managed and feels safe for use. Politecnico di Milano also takes student safety seriously. One thing I would suggest is that you be a bit more attentive to your belongings when you are at some tourist places, as I have heard about snatching incidents but I have never witnessed any.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Living in Milan has a good work-life balance, rich culture global-level interactions and a peaceful lifestyle. The cost of living is quite high so this can be difficult especially for students. Another important factor is language barrier. Without adequate Italian, it can be challenging to find part-time work or even jobs after completing your degree, as it limits access to many opportunities, even if you have strong qualifications. My chance of permanent settlement depends on my ability to improve my Italian skills, and if I find any good opportunities, I think I will take them without thinking twice.

Most part-time jobs require fluent Italian, which is difficult for an international students.
Tips: Being very academically focused means that you will need to study for more than 8 hours a day. Most part-time jobs in and outside campus require fluent Italian, which is not possible for an international student. Some students here do try to deliver food as a part-time job, which is a bit hard, but the pay is good. Most students are eligible for full scholarships. I got a DSU full scholarship, which provides for my accommodation, college fees, and food. The catch is that I have to satisfy a yearly credit requirement. If I don’t, I will have to pay for everything they provided up to that point.

The University is collaborative and impactful. Plenty of opportunities to explore.
Tips: Before you fully commit to this university, make sure you have a word with a student representative or a former alumni who can give you a clear idea of what to expect on campus. Get an idea of what the university stands for, its history and what your inclination is towards.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The USA is easily one of the most accepting and multifaceted arenas open to people from all ethnicities, races and backgrounds especially if you're starting your life like me. If given the chance, I would certainly immigrate here especially in California.

Good career opportunities.
Tips: 1. Learn cooking, and try to be efficient in cooking as possible. This helps save lots of time 2. Take lots of layered clothing options, to make sure you don't catch cold 3. The MFE course in particular is intensive. Start your interview prep for placements/internships as early as possible before coming.
Likes (Internships): The course has wide range of career options ranging from technology to quantitative research in funds. The career path this program prepares for is quite varied, ranging from Data Science, Teaching to core-finance (which is its USP). Available internships are relevant.
Dislikes (Value for money): The MFE course in particular is expensive. The internships and placements are good but obviously, it comes at a cost. The college infrastructure is quite good though. The faculty is good overall, but MFE being a fast-paced course, they breeze through the course material quite fast.

UC Berkeley: A Crowned Institution in United States.
Tips: Trust me, the university is more competitive than it seems. Students should be prepared to put in a lot of effort. At first glance, the university may appear overwhelming due to its vast size and atmosphere. However, students must take this as an opportunity and learn with their fellow. Also, this is an opportunity to build strong meaningful relationships with your fellow. As in top institutions, like UC Berkeley, apart from academics most of the students come to build these relationships only. I can recall how many good relationships I have built over my time at UC and I am still benefitting from them day-in and out. Students must enrol for a scholarship as the cost of living near the university is relatively high. If you are unable to get a scholarship try to find a good part-time job. About the country well US is US just be good around here don't go to shady areas. Some of the areas have high crime rates and shootings are a common sight. The country will treat you well if you do well.
Likes (Quality of faculty): University of California Berkeley is renowned for its academic excellence and this isn't something to talk about, Come on! Everyone knows it before coming here. The professors are highly knowledgeable and experienced. The professors are very helpful and have unique teaching patterns. It's more of an interaction than teaching and I believe that this is the best method of teaching. However, not every professor at UC Berkeley is exceptional, this needs to be said! At first, I thought enrolling myself at UC Berkeley would be very stressful; nevertheless, the professors do help at every stage to keep the classes interesting and engaging for the students.
Dislikes (Part time work): As I have pursued MS in Computer Science, it is a bit difficult to get a part-time job. The competition is fierce and so is the demand. Due to the high cost of living every other student wants to land on a good part-time job opportunity, therefore making it extremely competitive. However, with the assistance of one of my professors, I was able to land a part-time job. It is difficult to get a part-time job or internship in your field as the competition increases every year. So, start to visualize according. Don't expect that the university will spoon-feed you every single time. Some myths need to be busted!

Amazing experience at University of California
Tips: First and foremost, students should find an accommodation near to the campus and knowing English is better so that you can communicate with everyone. Try to learn some technology or gain some experience in coding so that you can tutor or do part-time work as a frontend or backend Engineer.
Likes (Value for money): We had global exposure with peers coming from all over the world, different cultures and habits. Also, everyone was super helpful and many students ran organizations which were helpful to upscale ourselves. Many extra curricular activities were organized.
Dislikes (Indian Food): When I was working on a project, my professor was helpful and she also connected me with other professionals on the topic I was working on. She also explained personal branding like LinkedIn's do's and don'ts. She was kind and used to give her office hours for our benefit.
