Steady for growth here.
Tips: I have seen both ups and downs after coming here. The competition has increased and so have its challenges but the quality of education and research work here has also been up to the mark. Professors are involved and understanding so feel free to email them in case you require extra assistance or help. Peers are also motivating and helpful so group projects can teach you a lot.

Good classes and professors.
Tips: I have experienced both ups and downs here but my experience is mostly positive as classes are interesting and the university is well connected. Something that you should know is that it is a very Catholic university and although it is respectful, you should be comfortable with getting used to the idea of their faith being a central aspect here. Professors are helpful with lessons and job prospects are limited with all the new regulations, so make sure you do your research.

A decent university for a Master's degree, but students need to put in more effort to find jobs.
Tips: Know the college environment and how it functions beforehand by connecting with seniors. Make sure you know what you are getting into, the pros and cons. Getting scholarships in an Engineering college is a bit challenging. A very few selected students get it.
Likes (Public transportation): The connectivity is good. There are buses and trains connecting to major places. You get an online schedule of all the buses and trains, which helps in planning beforehand about your planning. The transportation is free for students or offered a discounted, affordable prices.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): In the current situation, getting 1 interview is very difficult solely based on your application. Referrals from a person in a position to recruit managers, leads are very much needed. Companies are not that enthusiastic about sponsorship. In the current situation lot of companies prefer students with Bachelor's degrees who would cost less to the company.

High competition for jobs due to competition and immigration.
Tips: Coming to the University of Texas at Dallas was overwhelming at first. It took me a while to settle down but once the classes began I started seeing more people from India, my home country so I felt comfortable. The university does provide scholarships based on GRE score and it is half the fees annually.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): The number of immigrants in Texas is huge compared to other states in the US. There are so many Indians who have come and settled in Texas which makes you feel like you're at home. Also, many of the companies are moving towards Texas as it is comparatively cheaper so the job opportunities are also increasing.
Dislikes (Internships): The job market in the US is currently bad and not many companies are hiring interns. Companies used to hire 10+ interns before but now are only hiring 1 intern. So the competition has also increased and since there are a lot of international students in the US, you are competing against millions for one internship.

Great University with great quality of faculty.
Tips: The experience has certainly taught me a lot. The cultural shift was immense. While there is a big Indian student community, you have people grouping up with other students from the same region, often creating a sense of micro-groups that speak specific languages. Local people are friendly, like talking to you and are inclined to help you too. There are all kinds of people on campus, and you will be able to find something interesting for you if you try and look for it. You need to work heavily on time management and plan everything according to your coursework. It is important to have a good social circle when you need assistance on coursework, but also try to make friends outside of this. All in all, it is a new experience, so try to do new things while ensuring you keep your academic performance at its best.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty on campus, especially programme directors and some professors are really approachable and knowledgeable. You can set up appointments or walk-in to their office if they are available, and they are happy to help answer any questions you have.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would love to move to the United States permanently, however the current conditions make it very difficult for people to find a good job opportunity. Pay in the United States is also slowly reducing for entry level roles while competition is also increasing. These factors are making it less favorable for international students. Semester fees are also increasing with a consistent increase in living expenses.

Great University experience but limited jobs
Tips: It's a great college and a good opportunity to find peers and friends who are interested in the same things as you. The only thing is that they don't provide any support in finding jobs so you are on your own when it comes to finding roles. Choose your master's program wisely.
Likes (Public transportation): Great connectivity by DART. Robust network significantly helps students in transportation from a lot of pick-up points near campus however, Dallas in general doesn't have great public transportation. It is affordable and reliable for students and everyone.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): For Marketing, very limited jobs are available as most companies don't want to sponsor especially in this economy. It is very much luck dependent, even though having a STEM degree helps but mostly it's about choosing the right subjects and having the right experience.

A friendly university to study.
Tips: UT Dallas is a friendly university where students from all the geographies are welcomed. You can achieve academic excellence with the resources provided by the college. There is a nice gym in the college which can be used as a time pass and stress buster. UT Dallas is moderately expensive compared to the other universities. It is a good choice but the best advise will be to calculate the return on investment, and compare it to other colleges.
Likes (Public transportation): Starting from nearby places till the airport that is, 25 Kms, you can travel freely with the Go Pass. You will find a bus for every route that you want to travel to. The most common one is the 883, which is used for day to day commute to the University and nearby places. Others are 232 and 241 which can be used to other routes.
Dislikes (Part time work): Some places where the current students work as part-time workers are Dining, Student Union and Career Centre. Other positions where a student can work and earn dollars are Teaching Assistant and Research Assistant. There are opportunities but the competition is also huge. You need referrals even for low wage jobs.

Tips: Utd offers scholarships like AES, dean's excellence and department awards, some cover partial tuition or give small stipends. Apply early, keep strong academics and keep checking funds each semester.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Lennox, CBRE, Mr Cooper, and ISN are some companies that offer jobs and there are a lot of small and large companies in the Dallas uptown and downtown, where they sponsor students for better jobs and better pay. Check out companies like Spectrum, T-Mobile, and Goldman Sachs, which sponsor students.

A big university in a small town with modern facilities.
Tips: The university is truly awesome, you don't have to worry about that. If you are looking for a calm but fun town to spend your 5 years of the Ph.D, then you are looking at the right place. It's very fresh in here. If you are expecting US city life, then you probably need to go to Chicago, which is around 3 hours away from here. There are many on-campus jobs available and even plenty of off-campus jobs as well. If you are a graduate student, it's even better because you can work with professors on their research projects. The hourly pay is also not bad as the expenses in this town are very low. Overall, I am very satisfied with the environment, people, university culture, eating out options, etc.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In general, there are fewer immigration options in the US. Provided the current scenario, the opportunities are getting even fewer. If I get a chance to permanently immigrate to the US, I would definitely not think twice about it. But the chances are better if you are from a STEM field or Academia.

Professional Master of Computer Science (MCS) - Batch of 2020
Offered by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

One of the best CS grad schools where I was able to make net positive money during my Masters!
Tips: Do not let cold weather be a reason for not joining UIUC, you get used to it. Apart from the thesis, there is no difference between MS and MS programme and both are considered the same for job applications but the thesis programme helps you improve your profile by getting to work with a professor on a research project. Computer Science programme has decent TA/RA opportunities and if you get one, you get 100% fee waiver and $2500 monthly stipend which is well above the monthly expenses. Post covid, intake to the professional MS programme has significantly increased from ~60 to ~300 resulting in a lot more competition to get a TA/RA.
Likes (Quality of faculty): UIUC has some of the best faculty in Computer Science, many times professors teach content that has been published in books by themselves. UIUC has many diverse professors, a very wide choice of course selection and a lot of flexibility in choosing courses.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Since Urban-Champaign is a college town, there are not that many Indian restaurants and for people who eat Jain food, there are hardly any food options outside. But there are many events in the department buildings where you can occasionally get free Pizzas.

Tips: Very accommodating culture. It will be the best experience of your life. Teachers are very knowledgeable. MS programme can be tailored to your liking where you can take courses from any department without much restrictions. This happened to be the best experience of my life.
Likes (Safety): Campustown is organized in a manner where all the students converge to Green Street where we have everything needed creating an awesome environment to meet new people and have fun. Cricket lovers can join Cricket Club of Illinois for a rewarding cricket experience and tons of tournaments in summer.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Faculty is very approachable and compassionate. After first semester most Masters student can find a RA or TA position. Try to meet with the faculty and show what drives you to do research and teaching and you will get a way around. The faculty is well-educated and mostly from universities ranked above UIUC.

My Review on doing a Masters in UIUC
Tips: Since the university is in Illinois, the weather during the winters is brutal, which most Indians will find difficult to adapt to. Hence I advise you to buy proper winter clothes when winter approaches. The grocery stores on or near campus are also expensive, so you need to learn how to buy food in bulk without wasting anything. UIUC has a large diaspora of not only Indians but other nationalities as well, so socializing is necessary but not tedious. Despite this, feelings of loneliness can set in since everyone will be busy studying for their courses, which one should be prepared for.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus has a functional transportation service which is free for students of UIUC, with plenty of buses there to reach most parts of Champaign-Urban. Despite buses taking more time to reach the destination you wish to go to, the part that is already included in your tuition fees is convenient since one pays $60 as public transportation fees.
Dislikes (Value for money): Since I did my Masters in Aerospace Engineering, finding internships for myself was tedious due to ITAR. And unlike Indian institutes, we have to find internships by ourselves because most companies that come to the career fair look for US citizens only, though I would advise going to the career fair anyway to network.

You will be required to work hard.
Tips: UIUC is a work hard-play hard type of university. If you're into that, then definitely do apply! Also keep in mind that UIUC does not give out many scholarships to international students. The research opportunities are great here, along with more than 1000+ clubs and organizations.
Likes (Public transportation): The bus transportation system is one of the best in the country. The bus system is free for all students, and the bus network extends beyond the campus, to the surrounding Champaign-Urbana area. There are a number of buses, which means there's never a shortage or long waiting time on them. Buses are also more so generally they are quite on time.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many authentic versions of Indian dishes in the dining halls. Although, you could get Indian food in restaurants outside the campus. Some days, in particular dining halls such as ISR, Indian food is provided in the form of samosas or paneer, however I wouldn't rely on the authenticity.
