MSc in Logistics and Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2023
3.7
The education is good, but not the quality of life.
Tips: I have become very responsible and massive respect grew towards all kinds of people who do all the odd jobs. Started to see my life in a different perspective which I wouldn’t have if I was in India. Going abroad will make you only a stronger person. I had an amazing experience in the United Kingdom. I have learnt so many lessons after coming here. The education is good, but not the quality of life. The cost of living is too expensive, and not everyone can afford it. Coming to the life experiences and lessons, it’s totally worth it.
Dislikes (Safety): People in Huddersfield are mostly like thugs. They are little racist apart from that, I would say everything else is manageable. It’s always better to not go out after a certain time anywhere. If you keep this in mind, I honestly don’t see any other problem.

Public transport is affordable, and you’ll find buses and trams all over Huddersfield.
Tips: I always had a very comfortable life back home. Living in the UK gave me a whole new experience. My perspective towards life changed. Respect towards people has grown. And I honestly feel everyone has to move out to different countries to explore themselves. You'll only become a better person if you do this. I faced quite a few issues with young gangs in a few parts of Huddersfield. I heard and saw a decent number of news headlines about it. It's a nice place to stay, but after a certain time in the evening, it's always better for girls, especially, to stay home and really engage in unknown group activities. Public transport is affordable, and you’ll find buses and trams all over Huddersfield. This means you can easily get around without worrying about the time it’ll take. Every route has regular buses, making public transport a huge plus.

MSc in Computing - Batch of 2023
3.1
A good learning but very fast paced experience.
Tips: Students should know that scholarships are available and can check on the university website. You need to join on time otherwise there might be a problem with your studies and catching up with the syllabus. Teaching and knowledge are good but the country is not that good and very bad weather most of the time. Indian Food is very limited and you have to cook daily so that you control your expenses.
Likes (Student Life): Nice atmosphere, a good library, helping teachers and clubs. I spend my days going to the lab and working on my final thesis. All functions are celebrated in university and different student unions do that part. I don't participate much as I have to go to classes almost every day and complete my assignments.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies hire freshmen, and also there is racism prevalent. Many different companies are available that offer sponsorship, but you should have experience. They offer mostly around 29000 to 50000 Pounds. You can check on the UK government website for sponsorship companies. New rules have come which require more salary to have sponsorship in the UK.

BA(Hons) in Business and Marketing - Batch of 2023

The college is very cooperative and excellent for business studies.
Tips: I have been more punctual as the assignments have to be submitted on accurate timing. If we are late we fail or have to redo the whole assignment in another topic so we have to prepare it again. I had availed scholarship worth £2,000 every year so I was able to save around £6,000 on my studies.
Likes (Internships): The student life is the best life to live over here. As we get all the facilities and it feels very safe because of excellent security and is highly clean in roadways and has easy transportation. It is easy to reach the campus from anywhere which helps a lot.
Dislikes (Value for money): Best faculty and they are very approachable and easy to handle. You can also get your things done very fast and in an easy manner. The staff is also very understanding and very polite. They try their best to make us understand the whole technical specification.

MSc in Electronic Engineering (with Placement) - Batch of 2024
3.5
This is very good university but we have to study on our own and have to attend classes regular
Tips: Students coming here should focus on upgrading basic skills like communication and all. Practice to study on your own and develop research skills as they will definitely be helpful, especially for Masters students. Focus on a particular area in which you have an interest. Make an account on Indeed Application UK.
Likes (Safety): Safety is the most important key here. Everywhere fire sensors and alarms are installed to detect smoke and fire and student safety is of utmost importance. At traffic signals, rules are commonly followed by everyone. Additional NHS services are also good, you can make an appointment at any time.
Dislikes (Internships): In UK, companies are expecting UK experience for internships. Try to focus on acquiring a technical or field job. You can work a part time job, it is easy to find but you have to apply at more places even you can try on Indeed. Indeed is a good option for finding internships and jobs.

A decent university for studies
Tips: I am satisfied with the opportunities provided by my university and it could help in improving my skills and perspective towards life. University outlook is itself impressive when compared to my country and the quality of education and the chance to interact with people around the world.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transport is very good. It is accessible to everyone. There are many buses and trains. But it's hard to get up very early morning and sleep late at night. Sometimes cancellations are also observed. The cost is high compared to my country but the service is good.
Dislikes (Part time work): Nice experience being a student. Better living conditions and better education. Part-time job finding is the hardest part. The rest of the things are fine. I got better educational facilities and the laboratory is well equipped with all sophisticated instruments. The campus is also quite big and beautiful.

Liberal, ample growth opportunities and best learning experience.
Tips: Be prepared for an experience of a lifetime and bring your A-game. Have to be consistent and focused on the lectures, dissertation, and practicals. Attendance is to be kept on priority and timely submissions would help. Also, cultural differences would be one thing that might bother initially but adaptability is the key.
Likes (Value for money): The course is a 1-year course which evidently brings down the study and living costs as compared to other study destinations in Europe. Also, part-time jobs are easily available which helps to cope with costs. I really like the freedom and open opportunities provided in the UK.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Many corporates provide support and assistance for post-study jobs. Companies that offer are from dynamic sectors like pharma, IT, hospitality, and automobile. Average packages would range from anywhere from 40K pounds to 75K pounds. The campus provides job support as well.

Great opportunity to pursue your overseas studies in UK.
Tips: For me, time spent at university is among the best year of our young lives. It's often the time we find ourselves, discover our true passion, leaves our comfort zone and explore new places. Studying in university of Huddersfield gives us a great opportunity to pursue our dream living in UK. Whether it's for few months or a year of your duration of studies, its a great opportunity for all of those who pursue it here. Living here in small and peaceful town gives you the idea to explore and learn many things about the people, its culture and the main thing about the British accent which is probably a top-notch to get and learn from them. Just a last gesture from my view is that come and explore the UK. It's quite beautiful.

Internships are easily available. Civil department is good.
Tips: I have become a lot more independent. A cultural shock I experienced was the small talk and greetings with strangers, which is not practised in India. I had a scholarship. I got it as I was a research assistant and a teaching assistant for 2 semesters. I am highly satisfied with the course however it gets stressful at times.
Likes (Internships): There are a lot of good opportunities for Civil Engineering. Since Virginia Tech is highly reputed in the civil department, it is not very difficult to find an internship. The internships available are very much relevant to the field of study. There are a lot of options available.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is just one Indian restaurant in Blacksburg, which is not that great and is overpriced. There are a lot of other options like Mexican, Chinese, American, Korean, Thai etc. However no good Indian restaurants. The nearest good one is 40 minutes car ride away.

A review on MS CS at Virginia Tech
Tips: The MS thesis programme has good funding options than the MEng one. Be interview-ready before you join college. The college and academic curriculum will satisfy you. If you get a TA/RA, apart from a tuition waiver you will be paid 2000$ a month. Contact professors once you get admitted.
Likes (Part time work): The college has good academic finding options like TA/RA. Also, there are plenty of dining jobs. TA/RA comes with a tuition waiver while dining jobs pay 17$ per hour which can cover your living expenses. Time management can be pretty tight as you need to spend 2-3 hrs a day.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The town is in Blacksburg. It's a pretty small town and there are no Indian restaurants. The nearest big city is Washington DC. So in the college town, there aren't any authentic Indian restaurants. But it has good American food. I prefer cooking myself.

Great course, nice little university town
Tips: It would be good to apply to graduate assistantships before hand, there are many opportunities but one needs to apply before the start of the semester. The university and courses is nice, but courses can get full at times to book sooner. Most courses are not so hectic and can be easily managed. Do spend time finding and communicating with an advisory for your MS thesis before you come here. Living expenses are not so much and there are many cheaper options too but students should start finding housing sooner in March or April for Fall. Focus on finding internships from the very start otherwise, it can be tough to get one.
Likes (Student Life): The university is nice, it is a university town. There are regular events held and activities are available for hiking or laser tag. Regular events happen and are updated online or via weekly emails. There are numerous student clubs as well and they also hold their own activities throughout the semester. There are places to sit on the campus and have a sunny daybreak or just study on the hill. Study spaces on the campus are also nice and peaceful. The downtown is walkable and one can get quick coffee or lunch.
Dislikes (Internships): Usually internships are sought for off-campus and most opportunities on campus are for citizens but students do get a place via campus as well but that's much less in number. In the USA beyond a certain ranking, all universities are on par when finding internships and one has to ensure their profile is strong enough.

VT is a good place to be, find your friends circle. Attend events, and don't be shy.
Tips: VT is a very good Engineering college. All engineering programs are good. Decent chance for getting funding, through TAships and RAships ( higher if you are doing a thesis, significantly low chance for non-thesis programs). TA and RA cover tuition fees, provide a stipend of around 2500$ per month, and health insurance. Getting a TA is kind of based on your profile, TOEFL score etc., so there is not much you can do ( like mailing someone) to get a TA. If you see any mail asking for TAs, just apply and wait. To get an RA you should try to mail pros and try to show your interest in joining their groups for doing your thesis, and there is a possibility that they'll reply back. Sometimes your proof can talk to the depth and can get you TA funding as well. Sometimes a grading wage position can help you get a TA in a later semester. Pretty easy to find wage positions on campus, dining plays around 16-18$/hr, grading around 11-12$/hr etc. VT's research is pretty good, I would ask people to choose colleges wisely, and not just over brand value. It feels nice when you get admitted from say a very huge brand college say U. Mich Ann Arbor, but you will have to take an insane amount of loan, for doing the same course work and research as VT. The brand value might have a slight difference in job search, but with some extra work, it is quite possible to land jobs all over the country for both VT and U. Mich. As far as internships, job search, starts early. VT has career counselling for free, use it. Careers fairs have not helped me personally, but it might, you never know, so attend them. It's a good experience. LinkedIn Glassdoor etc. Helps. A lot of VT alumni can be found in companies if you want a referral etc.
Likes (Public transportation): There are free buses all the time ( that is needed). You can go to any part of the city, with insanely good frequency ( during semester days). You can also travel to nearby places for free, and to go to Washington DC pay 40$ which is also not bad. So transportation is pretty good. Nice biking trails as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a couple Indian based restaurants, and they are not that good, given the price. Indian grocery is also relatively expensive, yet it is essential to make good food. You can find Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean food. A couple of good Nepali places as well. There are always subs, sandwiches, pizzas and burgers. Nice diners, and bars as well.

Virginia Tech is wonderful inside out.
Tips: Blacksburg is not your regular city, it is a college town, so I would not expect a lot in terms of city vibe and events. All the people are super helpful, right from the graduate school to the international centre, all advisors are considerate. I managed to get a teaching assistantship at the ECE department which helped cover my monthly expenses. Overall, VT is a great place, a beautiful campus, good professors and research-oriented.
Likes (Public transportation): Blacksburg Transmit (the official public transportation) is very convenient for students. We have buses running every 15 minutes (during regular college) and at 30-minute intervals (during break) and it connects to every part of the city. And to top it all off, it's completely free.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many Indian restaurants in Blacksburg. We'd have to travel to the closest city, Roanoke (1 hour by bus) to get decent Indian restaurants. The ones in town are not that good. A Nepali place opened up just recently, which does have some decent Indian food options. However, on a regular basis, I usually prefer to cook at home.

A great academic and research University filled with opportunities
Tips: I experienced a cultural shift from India because here the accessibility of purchasing items is less. For example, buying stationery, clothes etc. has limited options. Mainly because Blackburg town is in a remote area. We only have a few groceries here. I got a teaching assistantship during my course. I got it with my admission offer. I think one of the reasons for getting it was that previously, I had taught students of 9th and 10th grade at an NGO. Also, if you have good grades and academic knowledge, your chances of getting these scholarships are high. I also got a research assistantship for one semester by working under a Professor. The course is high-ranked, the university is well-equipped for research and the education is worthy. There is a fast-paced environment here and every course that we take involves many practical deliverables.
Likes (Value for money): The ranking of Virginia Teach is good for Industrial and Systems Engineering and especially for Human Factors concentration. The faculty and research laboratories are equipped with instruments to carry out research. So, overall, it can provide a good return on investment. Hence, I gave it a good rating.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are two restaurants nearby which offer Indian food. First one is India Garden which provides Indian curries at the price of around $16-17. The curry comes with a price. However, the other options like Naan, roti are expensive. Also, the taste of the food is not that great but potion size was good. The second restaurant, Humro Kitchen offers some options like Momos and many Indian Curries. There also each item is priced between $15-20. However, the potion size is small and the taste is also not good. I prefer to cook at home myself. Also, I take frozen Chapatis from Oasis Asian Market.

Virginia Tech - The best college for international students
Tips: On campus jobs are always available. Multiple internships and co-ops are allowed (with no courses-conditions involved). The weather is pleasant. Public transportation is the best. Low rent rates and great availability of apartments. Safe university town. Top 4 for Power Electronics (Electrical Engineering). Best University for international students, hands down.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I believe if you have a Ph.D. in STEM courses it is easier for you to get citizenship (given that you have your other requirements fulfilled). It is a research-oriented school so easier to get Ph.D.s.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants in the city are not that good. They do not offer authentic Indian food, but Indian students should stay away from outside food anyway. There is a grocery store called 'Oasis' which has a lot of eastern Asian grocery options but moderate variety when it comes to Indian groceries.

Academically Excellent, Beautiful Campus, Welcoming and Supportive
Tips: VT campus in Blacksburg is academically oriented with excellent curriculum. Students aiming to study and focus on their master's degree might find this place perfectly suitable. I can’t think of any disadvantages of the campus unless you want a city life. Also, it would be great if students can apply before deadlines and acquire some assistantship since there are ample opportunities.
Likes (Student Life): Blacksburg is absolutely beautiful, on top of that the campus is gorgeous surrounded with college buildings, it’s a scenic park everywhere. Students can always choose flexible courses and manage studies with part time and outings on weekends if they are good at time management.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Virginia Tech has one of the biggest career fair events in the country. I find it convenient for students to find a company that can sponsor visa since there are many options available. Of course it’s always the student's choice if they are willing to find companies without sponsorship.
