Tips: The biggest transition was academic style, which is heavily focused on self-study and critical thinking. Culturally, the shift was smooth, though the weather, ie quite gloomy. I am very satisfied with the quality of education and the exposure I have received. It entirely depends on us and our goals.

The university is well recognized; I had a great experience.
Tips: To be honest, back in India, the method of teaching is really different, and it takes some time to adapt. My university provides various scholarships, from a full scholarship to some percentage of the tuition fees.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I feel really fortunate to have had such a supportive and approachable faculty. They were excellent. The best part was to have mentors who have great connections and work experience across the globe.
Dislikes (Internships): No doubt there is a decent amount of guidance provided, in fact, the university organises various networking events and workshops as well. Yes, there are internships available across the UK. Still, a lot depends upon the job market and the field you are in.

A transitional turn-point of my personality.
Tips: You won't find any transition; just come with an open heart and mind to explore and accept everything. You can make the most of it. There are many scholarships available if you apply on time. I received the Dean's Excellence Award from the University. I received every possible support from the university, from academics to mental well-being. The course is culturally diverse, which gives you an edge to think outside your borders. Scotland is very beautiful, especially Edinburgh. It's a very safe and walkable city, with friendly faces and kindness in people's hearts.
Likes (Indian Food): There's no need to pack your bag with Indian food and spices; there are so many Indian and Asian shops in Edinburgh, and you can find everything here, from mustard oil to cereals! Plus, if you don't feel like cooking, there are also economical eating-out options.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no collaboration between the university and the industry for internships. Students have to find internships on their own, and the job market often prefers undergraduates for summer and winter internships over postgraduates, making it difficult for students to secure them.

Bridging cultures and building future.
Tips: The University of Edinburgh encourages students to think independently and become leaders. Take ownership of your studies and make your own decisions about your learning. I was able to make both cultural and academic improvements, and I’m pleased with my studies here.
Likes (Value for money): The University of Edinburgh gives us good returns like working for 2-3 years with a great pay and going back to your home country. The return on investment is good. The reputation you get after studying from this university is commendable, and everyone knows about the university. It has worldwide reach.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don’t prefer settling here permanently as I think we have abundant facilities back in our home country to grab. And the weather over here in Scotland is not suitable for me. Also, people here are very humble and easy-going, but hometown hits different.

There are lots of Indians, Indian stores and restaurants, so you'll not completely miss home.
Tips: For me, the transition felt very smooth and not difficult at all. If one has previously had to move to a different state for their studies and had to live by themselves in a PG or otherwise, this will feel the same, even though it's to a different country and continent altogether. The cultural shift isn't too extreme either, since it's heavily dependent on the friend group you are with, mostly. There are lots of Indians, Indian stores and restaurants, so you'll not completely miss home. You also get to experience the cultures of all the students from different countries if you befriend them, which is a great learning experience. I'd received the India Merit Scholarship, which is automatically given to eligible students based on their application and undergraduate scores, worth 5000 GBP. This is deducted from the tuition fee and not something that is given to the students directly. I'm honestly very satisfied with the university, course and country. While there are a few gripes that I have with the infrastructure available to the students, this has been a very fun and pleasant experience overall. Scotland and Edinburgh are extremely safe, very walkable, and amazing places to be, and the people are super sweet and friendly.
Likes (Student Life): An average day in college involves 2 to 3 hours of classes, which can be a mix of theory and lab classes. Lab classes are very well arranged in that they help you implement and practically learn what was taught in the theory classes. Depending on which campus the class is on, a decent chunk of time on campus might be spent on travelling between the campuses, though a bus service makes this very easy. In terms of events, there is something or the other happening almost every day and every week, whether it be social events or guest lectures and all sorts. While I don't participate very often, it's very fun when I do. In terms of clubs and societies, there are tons of them ranging from computer Science societies to dance clubs to sports clubs and more. Anything you're interested in, there is probably a club or society for it.
Dislikes (Value for money): I think the tuition fee for the course is significantly higher than the average and compared to other Russel League universities in the UK, and not completely justified. While I agree that the course faculty are amazing and student communities and opportunities are amazing, a lot of the services provided such as the computing infrastructure to the students in the course are not as good as you'd expect for the cost of the course.

The university provides strong guidance and resources for applying to and finding internships.
Tips: It was quite hard to adapt to survive here understanding the dialect adapting to food that isn't that spicy, etc. I was awarded the India Merit Scholarship which was awarded to academically highly ranked students. I would firmly say Edinburgh is the best place to live and explore. There is something here for everyone. It has the countryside charm, a magical place for Potterheads, and buzzing city life too. I am very much satisfied with the university, the course content and the country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are quite friendly and open to solving any of our queries regarding academics or professional advice when we reach out to them through email. They are also open to chats, depending on their availability. I find the teaching methodologies to be top-class, practical and insightful. The teaching faculty members are from diverse backgrounds, too, with excellent research fingerprints.
Dislikes (Internships): The university provides strong guidance and resources for applying to and finding internships. There is a dedicated Career Services that offers support throughout the entire process from CV building and interviews to networking and job search strategies. However despite this support, securing an internship in the UK can be quite difficult due to the competitive nature of the job market and visa-related constraints. That said, the available internships are highly relevant to my field of study and align well with my academic and professional goals.

Few administrative issues but a lot of opportunities for students.
Tips: Prepare yourself for the weather. It's very windy and chilly in general, but there are multiple good days, which makes you appreciate the sun. There are lots of cultural differences, and many different cultures, so it's nice to keep an open mind and try to meet new people. You will change in many ways unknowingly, but it will teach you to be more resilient. Also, socialising is tough, but it is literally the most important in the first year. It's nice to have friends who will support you. There are very specific scholarships with relatively small amounts of funding. They are course-specific, but each course has awards based on exceptional performance, which can grant you some allowance. I've been able to challenge myself by trying to learn more. Tutorials are very engaging. The university is quite good, too, however, there's a rift between the student council and administration regarding funding and investment. Scotland is very scenic and safe. It's not too tough to make friends.
Likes (Student Life): Extremely diverse range of societies. We can find something for almost any niche, and can make societies too. The students' union council is extremely supportive and also provides a lot of opportunities for students. Societies and people in them are very engaged and positive. For the academic, there are so many peer support groups, including one-on-one writing sessions, reading groups and of course, the professor's office hours. I feel very supported and included.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UK, in general, has been implementing stricter immigration laws, so I'm not sure, maybe the chance of permanent immigration is 60%. I want to travel more before choosing a place to live, but this is a good place to live. Maybe somewhere warmer might suit me more, but there are a lot of opportunities for artists/creatives.

Transportation systems are affordable and dependable.
Tips: The University Accommodation was up to my expectations, and the University had a lot of events in the welcome week to make the transition easy for me. Adjusting to the weather was hard, but you get used to it eventually. Since there are multiple cultures, the cultural shift isn't extremely difficult. I did not receive any scholarship, so I am personally funding my time here. I am fairly satisfied with the university and the course and extremely satisfied by the city.
Likes (Safety): The city is extremely safe and student-friendly. I haven't had a single incident here. Public transport is readily available via buses and trams. The city is extremely walkable, which is especially helpful when the trams aren't running. I find the transportation system to be affordable and dependable. I haven't had any security concerns, either.
Dislikes (Internships): The University of Edinburgh offers a lot of part-time opportunities. However, there aren't many internship opportunities that are brought in by the university. If you are looking for internships, you have to rely on LinkedIn and other job posting sites. However, the University has an eager-to-help student development and career development hub that you can seek guidance from.

The university is culturally diverse and will offer you an array of networks.
Tips: The university is culturally diverse, and it might take some time to get adjusted to this. But everyone like you will be in the same boat. It might take a month or two to figure things out, but it eventually starts getting better. The University also ensures through different workshops to smoothen up the cultural transition for us through various events like potlucks. I am highly satisfied with my course as it is very well-structured and delivered. University of Edinburgh was my dream university and I am happy with my decision of choosing to study here.
Likes (Public transportation): The city has buses, trams, trains, taxis and Uber, like other UK cities. The prices are pretty much similar. I don't find it quite affordable to avail of the bus daily as my accommodation is just 15 minutes walking distance from the business school. Edinburgh is easily walkable. Be prepared for the slopes and the uphill climb around the city.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't want to permanently settle here for personal reasons, but it might be a nice place to settle if someone wants to, considering they have a high-paying job. The living costs are expensive. Other than that, Edinburgh is safer than most UK cities, with amazing air quality and literally no pollution. It is culturally diverse and will offer you an array of networks, considering you indulge in the same.

Traditional university life experience.
Tips: Lots of diversity and a very social campus as well which means you'll be exposed to a lot of people and communities. Campus often has a lot going on and in terms of part time jobs, there is limited scope and availability although I did I get a research position through a professor. There is a lot of walking around campus and class registration and organizing can be done in a better format.

Good experience with lots of learnings.
Tips: Texas is a very widespread campus with diverse students and faculty and you'll not take too long to adjust. People are easy going and classes are experiential with multi faceted conversations forming a central theme. In terms of post graduation work opportunities, things are becoming increasingly restrictive, but if you form good connections with your professors, you can avail benefits in the form of LORs and projects and even use them as references.

Life in Texas State University.
Tips: You should be prepared to be in the midst of a lot of activity and hustle and bustle, as this is a very happening campus. There are people from all parts of the world, so keep your interactions culturally aware and mindful. Classes are not easy going and a lot of independent thinking will be required out of the textbooks. The job market is increasingly competitive and applications start months in advance.

Been a learning process.
Tips: My transition was gradual, and all my inhibitions and worries disappeared quite quickly after being on campus for at least two to three weeks. The campus is full of life and quite outdoorsy as well, so if you have wished to pick up a sport, you have the perfect opportunity to do so here. Rent is more reasonable here compared to a lot of other cities, and in class grading is subject to various parameters, not simply your performance on exams. This also depends on your classes and professors and what their basis of grading is.

Highly educated and qualified faculty.
Tips: Everything here is truly an experience, and courses are very research-oriented. Networking opportunities and practical exposure are a big plus, and the community is very student-oriented. A lot of Indians are around as well. The job scenario is very unpredictable right now, and a lot of people are returning home.

Texas State University is a very social and buzz-filled campus.
Tips: My first year passed by quite swiftly, and the level of competition and dedication required has also increased quite a bit. Texas State is a very social and buzz-filled campus with plenty going on at all times. We can't work part-time, but professors offer research-related work. The weather is the same throughout, and there are a lot of South Asian people as well.

Pretty decent experience.
Tips: The campus is very accepting, and there are plenty of international students as well. Try to be a part of the campus events and games to get a sense of the Texas state culture. There are research positions on campus, fewer outside. The admission process is fairly straightforward, and I managed to get an early admission, which made my decision quite easy. There are also plenty of Indian restaurants around; in fact, some of the popular ones are right around campus.

Cosmopolitan environment with limited opportunities.
Tips: Texas State is a very big, diverse and happening university, so it is easy to get a little astray, but the level of competencies required is high to cope. Limited part-time opportunities, but scholarships are available if you have a solid SOP and a decent GPA. Friendly state, but try not to get too caught up in the chaos.

Texas State is a very social and fun-loving university.
Tips: Texas State is a very social and fun-loving university. There's a lot to expect when you come here, and a lot of things that constantly happen in and around campus. Learn how to manage your time and finances, as no one else is gonna do it for you. Professors are helpful, but expect quality work in return, and you will have to advocate for yourself when you need help, as learning is not what it's like back home. Job prospects have become limited, so only come here if you see value in the long term; otherwise, don't waste your money.

Part-time jobs are not available for international students.
Tips: Culture shifts are there, but Texas has a lot of Indian representation, so at least your culture is somewhat reserved, and there are food options and Indian restaurants around. Part-time jobs are not for international students so you'll have to rely on saving and budgeting instead. I received a merit based scholarship which ease out the cost of tuition a bit although the cost of living isn't covered. Lots of parties and events are constant here throughout the year so you can expect a breather when classes get too hectic.

Interesting and detailed journey.
Tips: Be prepared for a lot of walking and socialising, while often feeling rushed. International students support each other, and though homesickness is normal, you'll adjust faster than you think. Take classes that fit your schedule and interests; you'll be encouraged to try new things. Be aware that things can be somewhat disorganised, so you'll need to be proactive.

Good place to attend if you have financial aid.
Tips: I have experienced more growth in myself after coming here, and my fellow students have been truly helpful in the process. Don't come without a scholarship or financial aid. Some things are more accessible here than in the other branches, such as getting support from professors or networking opportunities. Limited on-campus opening as well as off-campus, so figure out other ways to support yourself.

Friendly people and vibrant student life.
Tips: My experience in America and at the college was quite pleasant. People are friendly though they tend to keep to themselves. Texas has a significant Indian population and there are student organisations available to assist with campus arrival and any other needs. Public transportation is helpful but having your own vehicle can save a lot of time.

Tips: The campus is quite vast and open, and you'll be in for a lot of walking. Part-time jobs are limited, but you can get lucky if you are quick with applying for research or TA positions, where there's also a stipend at times. Come with a scholarship, and if you have a solid plan of action, as things are extremely unpredictable at the moment.
