The academic journey was difficult.
Tips: The academic journey was difficult. It is a masters level course. Plus they are competing with Oxford and Cambridge so they have amped up the difficulty. It's not difficult to pass, it's difficult to stand out. Programs are wildly interesting, you'll find something you enjoy. Just do not expect anything else apart from education.
Likes (Safety): The city's safe, as opposed to the common notion. Even the college takes care to do whatever it can to ensure safety. There is a dedicated app for students that can alert the college security team about your location wherever you're in the city. Plus they take a lot of care about their rules regarding fire hazards, chemical waste management, etc.
Dislikes (Internships): There is no break in the masters programme for an internship period. They have shortened the course to 1 year. You come, pay the fees, experience the rapid fire education bazooka and before you adjust, you're out. No break, no internships, not really any time to do part time either.

Opportunities exist, but it can be difficult to find the right one.
Tips: There is a transition challenge for people travelling abroad for the first time. I got accustomed to it easily. I didn’t avail any scholarship and unless you have achieved a lot, it’s difficult for a general student. I am pretty satisfied with the uni, course and country. The only issue right now is getting a job. Though Business Analysts are in demand, if you are diligent and hard working, you can definitely get a job. It’s a bit hard for other courses.
Likes (Value for money): Imperial, even though it is an expensive university, will support you forever. From job hunting, to the alumni network to its library and journals access. It gives you a lot. The fees could be a bit less but this ensures that you are committed to the journey. It’s the money you bet on yourselves, higher the stakes, the better the reward.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are many on and off campus part time opportunities but I would not recommend them. The student should focus on the academics and job application to start with followed by social activities, networking and travel. If you are not compromising on studies and job applications and are okay to limit your social activities, then go for it. It just might make you overwork which would affect the important areas on your priority list.

Inclusive and academically oriented.
Tips: Everyone is at the top of their game. You might feel intimidated at first, but things will ease out over time. Honestly, for me it was what I expected. My lifestyle became better but nothing that was a culture shock to me.
I didn't get any scholarships.
Academically, it'll put you in the right place but it doesn't really translate into an ocean of job opportunities within the country.
Likes (Student Life): Case-based subjects require group exercise so the majority of my day was spent working in groups on projects. The best part is the world class facilities such as gyms, cafes, etc. Open to relax after a heavy business exercise. You can also book individual rooms in the business school for relaxing/meetings.
Cultural events such as the Winter Ball and Summer Ball and business events. Networking is organised by Imperial. My participation in cultural events was limited. From business clubs to art/theatre clubs, you can find everything on campus.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): 20% at max. ILR has recently been increased from 5 to 10 years. The PSW has also been reduced from 24 months to 18 months under the Starmer-led government. The intent of this is clearly visible in corporate job applications as well. The rejection turnaround times have reduced to 24 hours if you require a visa in future to work in the UK.
I won't permanently shift here. This is because of the rising taxes and safety concerns.

Challenging, transformative and definitely worth it.
Tips: Come prepared to be challenged- academically, socially and personally. Imperial is fast paced and the workload is intense but that's exactly what makes it worth it. Be ready to engage deeply with your cohort as the majority of the assignments are group based and collaboration is at the heart of the experience.

Great location and facilities.
Tips: This college is mainly for rich brats; half of the Indian crowd will go back to India, mind this. Be practical and be mindful of this. The brand name is great, but that will not help in the job search. Don't come to this university if you are taking an education loan.
Likes (Public transportation): Near South Keng, the line is always working never faced an issue in that. Transport is expensive because the majority of the classes are in peak hours and that means no student discount whatsoever. The campus is in the centre of London so no issues in that.
Dislikes (Part time work): Imperial is filled with the richest people; no one even considered part time work. On campus, there are jobs. I haven't seen any Master's student woring there. Part time if done is manageable but classes were almost every day.
