A new tree, better than one in your garden.

Tips: The first thing that is important is the study structure. I would like to warn students to be prepared for the drastic change in the structure. There are a lot of scholarships, and just apply to as many as you can. I'm quite satisfied with the university.

Likes (Part time work): I rated it 5 because I think that if you genuinely apply for jobs, there are a good amount of them, at least in my university. Jobs are pretty flexible, but they do have their timing requirements, which you need to adjust to. In ASU, the average is $16/hour for on-campus jobs.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The reason is food businesses believe that there is no competition for them, which is why they have reduced the quality of food as well as increased the prices heavily. Students, since they don't have an option, are forced to go there and eat. It is highly recommended to have cooking skills that are easy to cook and time-efficient.

Learning experience with ups and downs.

Tips: I transitioned well here as there were numerous advisory sessions and orientation to basically answer everything you need to know. Be prepared for a rigorous journey but the research exposure makes it worthwhile. I wasn't too impressed with the prospects of part time work but if you are quick, you can get a few decent side hustles.

Transitioning and growth oriented journey.

Tips: The biggest problem for me was food since I am a vegetarian. It took time to transition but then I started cooking for myself and now it's normal. I got a scholarship and applying for it was a necessary part of the application process. In terms of course and University, this feels like a perfect fit for me. But in terms of the country, it is stressful and uncertain, which makes it less than desirable.

Likes (Safety): ASU has its own police department and emergency buttons are installed everywhere on the campus. Police patrols are very frequent and Temper, being a small town, doesn't have a high crime rate. We also get updates about crime around the university through email notifications.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The government is cracking down on the immigration system and making it harder than it already is to settle here in the US. I am hoping it will get better. The only thing that is positive is that after getting education from the US, there are a lot of options not just in the US but around the world.

It is a great experience.

Tips: One thing you should know is that Arizona's heat is too much. When you arrive, get ready to become an omelette. But it's a really great experience studying at ASU. Professors are very hill and easy-going. One tip I can give is people you meet on your orientation day are very crucial for your social life.

Expensive, fun and motivating.

Tips: There were many cultural shifts, like the traffic rules, late night life. In India, on eclipse day, mom says not to see the moon, but here everyone loves to see the moon on that day. I got the new American University scholarship, which is actually common for the Bachelor's students.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty is really cool and holds office hours for students whenever possible. Teaching methodology is mostly them just making us understand what the concept is and explaining it. It depends on the students, as most of the teaching is independent and requires students to do the research to find better tools for coding. They help us understand the concept in depth but the process is very independent and depends on students. To be honest, there will be no spoon feeding like in India.

Dislikes (Value for money): I don't actually think the tuition fee is justified for my course. I feel like I am paying more even after getting the scholarship. Compared with the other universities where my friends are currently studying. It would be better if there were more scholarship options available for international students.
