Very fulfilling, yet a remote place.
Tips: I came here without knowing what to really expect, but so far I have not been disappointed. You'll get a slightly small-town feel to this place, but campus life is filled with events and games. Have a healthy work-life balance as it is easy to close yourself in the midst of work and assignments.
Dislikes (Internships): Haven't had much luck from the university when it came to internships, and I did land a decent internship in India, but that was also on my own. Professors can help out and keep an updated LinkedIn as well. Attend career fair and you should study the market as well.

The Indian student community is close-knit and helps you to socialize.
Tips: The first thing you should do when you get here is look for a good advisor, as they will determine the course of your experience and decisions at this university. You are encouraged to publish your research, which helps you get a boost in the research and academia sphere. The Indian student community is close-knit, and you'll always have someone to look out for you.

Very transformative journey.
Tips: The format for every class is different, but most of them encourage discussion and debates, so whether you like it or not, you'll have to participate. My scholarship of 10,000 USD helped make things a lot more affordable and smoother for me; otherwise, I would not have been able to come here. However, with the current policies in place, expecting a job is beyond far-fetched. The weather in Denton changes all the time, as well.

Tips: I did feel some cultural difference here, but the people are quite welcoming, especially if you are a student. Being a part of the Desi community also helped me feel more at ease, and my programme is quite flexible as well, which allows me to experiment. Dallas is the closest city to go to in case you need an escape. Public transportation is quite accessible and affordable.

UNT is a public university where there's a lot of opportunities for International students.
Tips: After moving here, I think it has been very easy to transition. There was no culture shock. I wish they had more scholarships for international students especially Indian students. Though, I am satisfied with the curriculum, and I think it is flexible enough to help students in this day and age.
Likes (Indian Food): We have a lot of Indian restaurants where Indians and International students are crazy about, especially Indian food trucks around the campus have high demand among all the students and on campus communities where it is crowded and busy in the evening times every day.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee at University of North Texas is expensive compared to other state universities. It is designed as the course structure is labelled. There are different electives to explore in each and every course which is out of their department group.

A supportive and practical learning environment.
Tips: UNT is a public research university in Denton, Texas, with strong programs in business, engineering, computer Science, and the arts. The campus is large and lively, with affordable living costs compared to other U. S. cities. Students should be prepared for a structured but manageable academic workload. Denton is a safe, welcoming college town with easy access to Dallas and Fort Worth. Early engagement with campus resources like the Career Centre and tutoring helps academic success. Transitioning to UNT was smooth. The American education style emphasises participation, critical thinking, and independent work. Professors encourage questions and discussions. The campus diversity made cultural adjustment easier. Support services and student groups for international students provide community and guidance. I received a merit-based International Excellence Scholarship of $4,000 per year, awarded based on my academic record during admission; no separate application was needed. Scholarships at UNT help reduce tuition and are renewable with good academic performance. I'm very satisfied with UNT. The courses are relevant and taught by experienced professors. Facilities like labs and libraries support learning well. Career fairs and networking events provide good industry exposure. The campus life is vibrant and inclusive, and Denton's affordability is a big plus. Overall, UNT offers a strong academic and cultural experience.

A perfect blend of academic excellence, global exposure, and personal growth.
Tips: Students should know that this college focuses strongly on both academic excellence and overall personal development. It is important to be proactive, manage your time well, and take advantage of the wide range of resources and networking opportunities provided. When I first joined, I did experience a cultural shift, especially adapting to a more independent and research-oriented study approach compared to my previous education. It took some time, but the support from faculty and peer groups made the transition smooth.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The campus environment is vibrant, inclusive, and full of opportunities to grow personally and professionally. My typical day includes attending interactive classes, group discussions, working on lab projects, and spending time at student clubs. I particularly enjoy the collaborative culture and the events organised regularly, from tech fests and cultural programs to hackathons and speaker sessions. The campus hosts various student-run clubs related to coding, robotics, arts, entrepreneurship, and more, allowing everyone to pursue their interests and connect with like-minded peers.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The professors are not only highly qualified but also very accessible and supportive. They encourage open discussions, offer regular office hours, and are always willing to mentor students beyond the classroom. The teaching methodology involves a balanced mix of theory and hands-on learning, including case studies, live projects, and interactive seminars, which helps bridge the gap between academics and industry expectations. The faculty is diverse, with members from different nationalities and professional backgrounds, bringing global perspectives into the classroom.

This is the most affordable and best university in Denton.
Tips: This college has a lot of Indian students and faculty. If you want to experience the culture of Native Americans and interact with them, you might want to go to a different university. However, if you like Indian food, this is the place for you. There is a lot of competition for a few positions. To get an internship, you need to have the right skills and knowledge. Unlike India, this country seeks to employ people who have core skills in the particular subject they are dealing with.
Likes (Indian Food): There are more than 30 Indian restaurants in Denton, as well as many Indian grocery stores and food trucks. You can even find Pakistani and other Asian cuisines in some places. It's a great place to try a variety of Indian food.

Vibrant transition to this place.
Tips: Before coming to UNT, know it's a lively place with lots to do. Adjusting here means getting used to a new culture, which can be fun but tricky. I didn't get any scholarships, but UNT offers them based on different things. Overall, I'm happy here. The classes are interesting, and there's always something going on, but getting used to American life took some time.
Likes (Student Life): I rate a student life a 4 because it's lively and diverse. A typical day involves classes, hanging out with friends, and attending club meetings or campus events. I love the sense of community and the variety of activities available. Events range from concerts to academic conferences and I try to participate when I can. UNT has a wide range of student clubs catering to various interests, making it easy to get involved.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work at UNT offers opportunities but can be a bit challenging to balance with academics. On-campus jobs are available, but off-campus options like retail or restaurants also exist. Managing both requires good time management skills and pay varies depending on the job.

Vibrant opportunities with room for growth
Tips: Before coming to UNT, it's important to know that it's a lively place with lots of opportunities, but it's not perfect. Adjusting here was both thrilling and challenging, especially with the cultural difference. I didn't apply for any scholarships, but UNT does not offer them based on different criteria. Overall, I'm pretty happy with my time here. My course is interesting, and being in the US has been eye-opening, though it's taken some getting used to.
Likes (Internships): I rated internships at UNT a 3 because there's some support available, but it could be improved. Advisors and career services offer assistance, but it's not always customized. The internships available vary in relevance to my field of study; some are a great fit, while others might not be as closely related.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I rated food options from my country of origin a 2 because they're not as widely available in Denton. Local restaurants offer a mix of cuisines, from Mexican to barbecue, with prices ranging from budget-friendly to more upscale. I enjoy eating out for the variety, but I also like cooking at home when I have the time.

Thriving at my college: A satisfying journey
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know about campus facilities, academic programs, extracurricular activities, and campus culture. After transitioning here, I experienced some cultural shifts, but I adapted over time. I received a scholarship by working as a teaching assistant, which waived my 50% of the course fees. Overall, I am very satisfied with my university, course and country.
Likes (Indian Food): The rating of 5 was give for food options from my country of origin because there are several Indian restaurants like Desi Adda, Namasthey Denton, Babai band etc. offering a wide variety of Indian cuisine. The average pricing at these restaurants is around $20 per person. However, as a student, I prefer cooking myself because it is more affordable than eating outside.
Dislikes (Public transportation): I rated the public transport 3 because it is okay and needs to be improved, there is a service called "go zone" with which we can travel in Denton and also in Lewisville with just 2 dollars for each booking, apart from that if you want to travel to other places public transport will not be helpful.

Diverse culture, several opportunities!
Tips: The university offers diverse culture and opportunities to its students. The faculty members at UNT are quite helpful and friendly. As per my journey till now, I have been introduced to so many wonderful peers and professors, all of them rooting for my successful career in Data Analytics. The campus life is not dull, you can join several clubs to meet and greet new people. There is only one problem, that is parking. Since there are a lot of students enrolled, it is difficult to find a parking spot after the morning classes. So if you are planning to take your own vehicle, try to be here as early as possible!
Likes (Value for money): I would say UNT is good value for international students, as it provides quality education. The professors are very good and knowledgeable. They hold good academic and industry experience and are quite helpful. However, if you feel it is expensive for you to study at UNT, you can enroll on various scholarships offered by the university.
Dislikes (Internships): To land on a good internship opportunity at UNT is a bit difficult. However, you can enrol on various courses organised by UNT, such as resume or cover letter workshops, mock interviews, etc. To help you upscale your skills. Personally, I connected with a lot of university alumni in my field to get a good internship opportunity at their company or startup. After contacting them, I received a few good opportunities from the alumni. If this approach does not work out for you, you can also take part in various events organised by the university to get an internship with the industry partners of UNT.

Great Alumni base, supportive faculty and life at UNT.
Tips: UNT is welcoming, clean and full of opportunities. The faculty and staff are incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and supportive. My interactions with the dedicated staff members and mentors proved to be transformative. The best thing about UNT is its extremely diverse student population. I also appreciate the variety of academic programs and extracurricular activities available. During my time at UNT, I feel I really developed myself and I am grateful for the opportunity. I highly endorse UNT, if you are thinking about it!
Likes (Public transportation): UNT campus is quite huge and car parking is difficult to find during peak hours. Also, the parking pass is quite expensive. Bus is the cheaper option to travel and additionally, you do not have to worry about searching for a parking spot. Also the pick-drop to college is free provided you show them the student ID of the university.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The professors at UNT are amiable and experienced in the subject matter they teach. However, some professors at UNT push political views which could have a negative effect on some students. Besides that, the professors encouraged critical thinking, promoted engaging discussions and provided valuable insights. I was impressed by their expertise and their willingness to support students.

Be patient, this is a great place to be.
Tips: Try to land an on-campus opportunity because that way you'll be getting a good allowance and fee waiver. Keep an eye on events that are happening in the university and please go through the official mail if you come to UNT. The documentation process is a bit cumbersome, come with a bit of patience. The good professors are always in demand so be there in their classes early as all the seats get filled. If you are coming for an IT or CS major then it's high time! Frisco Dallas is blooming and booming with top companies and I'm sure that if you have the skills, you'll land a good job here! You'll also get a SIM from the university but don't use that sometimes its network is not good so is the data service, get yours from outside! It is a bit pricy but definitely worth it. Oh! And there's also a vegan cafeteria on campus which made me feel good every time I passed by. All in all, it was a good experience for me and has helped me to be where I am today.
Likes (Student Life): The college has many students coming from diverse backgrounds so it was always a treat to interact with mates in and out of classrooms, got to learn so much about different cultures and countries via word of mouth. UNT has many student clubs too, since my graduation many things have changed and they've become better only, more structured. Campus bustle during Superball games, Basketball, Basketball is good and it was always an adrenaline rush to cheer alongside Scrappy the eagle which is the college Mascot. Outside of the campus too, nightlife is pretty good. I don't think that a student coming from any part of the world will feel bored in and around the university.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are not many Indian restaurants in Denton. Back when I started studying in UNT, if I or my friends ever craved Indian food, we had to travel to Dallas or Forth Worth and both of these cities were around 40 miles from Denton. Gradually, Sangam restaurant opened in Denton and I've had food there which as per my taste buds is good! I wasn't expecting that since there aren't many Indian restaurants around and surprisingly, the monopoly turned out to be good. Biryani and samosas are good there. Now Indian green can treat their buds without having to travel too far.

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.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I am not looking forward to a permanent settlement, so I haven't explored this option. I would not like to permanently immigrate to the country.

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.

Excellent college with excellent faculty and excellent campus
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.

One of the best universities in the US
Tips: There weren't many cultural shifts because the university is surrounded by lots of students and the majority of them being Indian students. On top of it, there are a lot of on campus events that keep you engaged so that you don't miss home. I did not avail of any scholarship. 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.

M.S in Computer Science - Batch of 2022

4
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.

M.Eng in Robotics - Batch of 2024
Offered by University of Maryland
4.1
Hard course with no money, too many assignments
Tips: The course is time-consuming. The job market in the US is good except for the recession, for stem, there is a lot of money. Except for IVY colleges, you gotta network on LinkedIn a lot, like A LOT. The coursework depends more on projects and homework and less on exams.
Likes (Public transportation): College has its own commute + state commute is good. Also, there is a night transportation service by UMD. US is known for shitty transport. 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. Drugs are not legal in MD but have seen people taking them on public transport. At first I used to be irritated by them, but then I got used to it.
