It is great to be a Florida Gator.
Tips: Be ready to race the Florida climate, it can be unpredictable. Be prepared to learn a plethora of topics from math to engineering to economics to data analytics. Have a well-planned strategy to spend time here wisely. Use every opportunity to develop personally and professionally, clubs, networking events, career fair, conferences, sports teams, on-campus part-time jobs, etc., you never know who you'll meet. Learn about the culture and languages used here. The South is way more diverse and rooted than it gets the buck for. Embrace the Gator Spirit and uphold the Gator Engineering values.

Univeristy of Florida - Go Gators
Tips: No cultural shift as such, pretty easy to be honest. I had a 1500 scholarship for each semester. They made sure I am comfortable with my studies, internships and other aspects of a Masters degree.
Likes (Internships): I interned at Amazon as a data scientist so I think there are multiple job opportunities available. Also, there are multiple career fairs during each semester so which helps. Also there is an internal career website for Uf students so which helps as well in finding internships and assistantships.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking, though there are multiple Indian restaurants available nearby. Also there were multiple takeaway restaurants with a variety of indian food available lot of indian grocery stores, so it never felt like I was missing out on my home food.

The perks and cons of studying at a low cost University like UF.
Tips: Few scholarships / RA ships are available. Largely self funded, but considering the uncertainty, it's a good investment not to go for expensive universities. It ranks good in the Scheme in the country. Lab courses are designed to meet job skills. Networking is largely on your own.
Likes (Safety): Gainesville is pretty safe. RTS buses are functional throughout the day. At night, it is advisable to travel in groups, however, no untoward incident is reported towards students.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are hard to come by in the current market situation. It's largely dependent on your own network, having a great resume and going to a career fair to build some contacts. For the Scheme, teaching skills in labs are largely helpful in securing internships. The University gives the option to go for a co-op if you secure an internship.

Very good faculty and nice environment.
Tips: Excellent ROI, with the lowest tuition nationally, but location wise not a good choice, but if you are from the CS Department, the location should not affect you that much. People from here have gotten into very good companies, so basically it's up to you.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are very good. They come from very reputable universities across the world. Diversity is there in the department, and you'll absolutely love the courses over here, like MS and NLP. Teaching methodology varies from faculty to faculty, but it is great.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It's a university town, so very less Indian food options are available. But still, for other things, you can find many options here. Walmart is the best option for groceries. There are a lot of food chains available in the area. So you won't have difficulty finding the food that you like.

Tips: Like any international student, you will face a lot of changes in the new environment, which will make you learn and grow. There will be many new opportunities, and you will have to put effort and try things. It's all what you make of it. The university offers many opportunities to grow personally as well as professionally.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Most professors here are very knowledgeable and kind. They support students who bring up new ideas. We can approach them easily for any doubts, accommodation or any other help. They promptly respond to the queries of students. They also bring in many speakers for guest lectures.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are not easily available, especially for international students. Career fairs are held, and that is one way to connect with employers. But the internship opportunities can be hard to get. We have to connect more with the employers and attend events.

And there is bus connectivity everywhere, and there is the UF Police department that is very active most of the time of day and is constantly patrolling the University at regular intervals, which shows that they are keeping it safe for us students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I am actively looking for jobs and haven't landed any interviews yet. I have seen a lot of seniors from my college who had a rough road to success in terms of finding jobs that sponsor the visa for us. That's the main concern for international students.

The perfect college town if you are a student
Tips: If a person is living in a tier 1 city in India, then the USA is not much different except the people. So it is not that difficult to get used to it. There is an academic excellence scholarship option at the end of the year worth $1000. I am more or less satisfied with the university.
Likes (Public transportation): There are ample buses to every part of the city and it is free for the students. You just have to show your university ID card and that's it. The bus frequency is also not a problem as the buses start from 6 am in the morning through 12 am in the night.
Dislikes (Value for money): Job opportunities, not so much, else everything is very good. It is tough to find internships and jobs because of the visa sponsorship issue. But for overall value for money, it is worth it, as it is one of the cheapest business degrees in the USA. Overall it is a good course.

University of Florida: Affordable in terms of course fee.
Tips: University of Florida is ranked as the best public university in the United States. It is also very good for the Computer Science stream. The professors are well-versed and teach really well. The curriculum is well designed with a good number of assignments, projects and exams to get a deeper understanding of the subjects. Another plus point about the University of Florida is its affordable fees (around $35000 for the whole course). The only thing I observed as not good is the lack of diversity in the MS in Computer Science programme. About 95% of the MSCS students are Indians.
Likes (Indian Food): We have a decent number of small to medium-scale restaurants which offer Indian cuisine. There are also restaurants offering other cuisines like Asian, Chinese, Thai and also a good number of American restaurants and fast food chains. I usually cook at home, but go to restaurants once in a while.
Dislikes (Internships): For a really long time, the University of Florida has been one of the top colleges in terms of internships and full-time job placements. But, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the US economy has been in a recession which has led to a significant drop in placement opportunities.

University of Florida - Really worth experience.
Tips: Gainesville is a student friendly city, offering pleasant tropical weather throughout most of the year and at least one hurricane annually. The College of Engineering offers a $4500 scholarship over three semesters. I am really happy with the university's atmosphere, and my course is enriched by excellent professors closely connected to industry and electronic trends. University of Florida stands out as one of the few universities with its own nanoscale research lab, where you can design and fabricate integrated circuits.
Likes (Safety): There are panic alarms all over the campus; when activated, the police respond within minutes. Gainesville predominantly functions as a college town, encompassing a significant portion of the city, and since the majority are students, safety concerns are minimal. Personally, I haven't encountered any negative experiences. If you decide to come here, there are some famous places in Gainesville that you should explore.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): You have to start applying for jobs at least 8-10 months before your graduation. For ECE, major companies such as Apple, AMD, Nvidia, TI, Micron, Qualcomm, Cisco, and others typically sponsor H1B visas. The roles vary widely based on your concentration - Analog, Digital, Firmware and salary ranges are not fixed, contingent on your work experience. However, for a newcomer, the salary would typically start around USD 90,000 to USD 95,000.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part time jobs are not available. Applying on website and everywhere else, me and my friends couldn't find part-time jobs. We tried in the last semester and till now we couldn't find it. So I won't recommend you here for part-time jobs, you may find part-time jobs outside campus but not on the campus.

There are many scholarships available at UMD.
Tips: Students must be prepared to adapt to culture shock, but they should be able to handle the experience and achieve their goals. There are also many scholarships available at UMD; students should apply for them as much as they can. UMD is a really good college, and it's one of the cheapest. If the cost of tuition is an important factor to you, then I would definitely recommend UMD. The cost for two years is about 45 Lakhs in Indian rupees. Safety and security are okay, but not as good as we might like. An incident of theft occurred in College Park last week, making the safety of students questionable, which then, in turn, puts people in fear because of racial differences. Putting the above incident aside, this is a very good college compared to other colleges.

Good college on a great location and in a great country
Tips: Initially, it was a bit difficult for me because I was a bit homesick but my friends helped me to get over that phase and introduce me to lots of on-campus organizations that used to organize events every other week which kept the students engaged. There was a bit of a cultural shift I experienced, but that was mostly because I was homesick. I did not get any scholarships. I am quite satisfied with the course and university, but a bit dissatisfied with the country because they are very strict on immigration.
Likes (Safety): The safety on campus is very good, there are many cops' vehicles on campus that keep patrolling the campus all the time to make sure that everyone is safe. I have had many good experiences in the city. Once I saw a person struggling to bike on the road, someone saw them struggling and called 911 and the cops showed up within 5 minutes and helped the old man.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are many on-campus part-time jobs available because the campus is really very big which makes it easier for students to find on campus jobs. I myself have worked on multiple on-campus jobs. As per the US law, an international student on F1 visa cannot work on off-campus jobs. The part time jobs are usually after the classes so it's easier to manage them. The average payout is $13.25 per hour.

Tips: It was not a big transition for me personally because I see a lot of Indian students around me. Plus the Indian food around here is really very good. Additionally, there are many on-campus events throughout the year that keep you engaged. I did not avail any scholarships. I am very much satisfied with the university, course, and country because it is exactly how I thought it would be.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of the faculty is really very good, they are always available to clear your doubts and concerns even after the class is over or even on the weekends. One thing that I find unique about my professor is that they create a story and then teaches us a topic, does not just read from a PPT but creates a story for everything that they teach to make it interesting. There are faculty members from across the world and not just from America.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If I had to permanently settle, the chances are very less because of the Green Card backlog for Indians. Also, right now, the market is really bad for people who are looking for a permanent settlement option but you can always work on a working visa and continue to stay in the US. If given a chance, I would definitely immigrate to this country regardless of the chances being slim.

I am 100% satisfied with the university because it is one of the top universities in the US, and the course I studied is really in demand right now, plus, the country is really ahead of all the other countries.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent settlement are very slim because the green card takes up to 10 years to be approved which is really long time. There are other methods to stay in the US like staying on a work permit. If given the chance, I would like to permanently settle in this country as this country is a developed country and the wage is really good.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is really very big and is connected by lots of public modes of transport. Shuttle buses are the most commonly used transport by students because they drop you right inside the campus and you can travel the whole campus in a bus. Public transport is free for students so the students don't have to pay anything if they are coming or going from the college.

Best university for Computer science.
Tips: Before joining students should know about the academic programs the university offers, and campus culture. They should know about location, cost of living, financial aid the university provides, research opportunities, university accreditation, housing options and lastly about extracurricular activities. And talking of my journey, I haven't experienced any culture shift since coming to the university. I am fully satisfied with the University and the course I chose.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Accessibility of faculty depends on the individual faculty sometimes faculty members are easily approachable and sometimes we need to connect to them via email or online meeting. Teaching methodology of faculty members are very unique as every faculty members are expert and knowledgeable in their field so they sometimes give students group or individual projects to work on, research opportunities are provided, and mentorship and access to different resources are given. Faculty members from different nationalities are there on the campus.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Campus is well connected to rest of the city. Mode of public transport available are shuttle-UM which operates within the campus and provide transportation between different parts of the campus; other mode are metro, bus, bike share. This University has partnered with bike service provider where students can rent bike for transport. But some drawbacks of public transport are the limited schedule of buses and trains, sometimes delays and crowding, and sometimes due to weather conditions some modes don't operate. Public transport is overall affordable and convenient to use.

Maryland especially College Park, has decent transport. in half an hour you can reach DC. Which has a lot of free stuff to do, a lot of museums. DC transport is good. Pro tip (If you don't pay them on the bus you don't need to )
Dislikes (Safety): There is a lot of robberies around the campus, some involve gun violence not that often though. My friend's laptop got stolen, and they ran saving their life from some random guy who showed up near the signal and pointed a gun at them. Students are good, but second amendment is not.
