There's a huge emphasis on class participation, practical assignments, and direct communication.

Tips: Before joining, students from India should know that the academic culture is very different. Here, there's a huge emphasis on class participation, practical assignments, and direct communication with professors, which isn't always common back home. Also, be prepared for the weather; moving from the heat of Bareilly to the snowy winters of the Northeast US is a major change, so invest in good winter clothing. My transition has been a journey of growth. The university has a strong support system for international students, which helped me settle in. The biggest cultural shift was the sense of independence and the fast-paced, structured lifestyle. People are very punctual, and you are expected to manage your time, from academics to chores, all by yourself. It was challenging at first, but it has made me much more self-reliant. I was fortunate to receive the 'Dean's Merit Scholarship' based on my academic performance in high school and my overall application profile. It wasn't something I applied for separately; it was automatically awarded with my admission offer. The scholarship provides a significant education in my tuition fees each year, which has been a great financial help for my family.

Likes (Indian Food): I was genuinely surprised by the amazing availability of authentic Indian food for a city of this size. There are several dedicated Indian grocery stores where I can find all the spices, lentils, and fresh produce like okra and paneer, which makes cooking food from home really easy. The locality has a great mix of restaurants. You can find several Indian places, both North and South Indian cuisine, along with Italian, Vietnamese, Mexican, and classic American diners. A meal at a casual, mid-range restaurant typically costs between 15 and 25. Personally, I prefer cooking for myself on most weekdays to save money and eat healthily. But on weekends, I love exploring the local restaurants with my friends. It's the perfect balance.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): While the university provides excellent support, the US immigration system itself is complex and competitive. Binghamton's Fleishman Career Centre and the ISSS (International Student and Scholar Services) office are fantastic; they offer workshops on CPT/OPT and connect us with employers who have a history of sponsoring international students. Honesty, my chances for permanent settlement are decent but certainly not guaranteed. As a STEM major, the 3-year OPT extension is a significant advantage. However, it ultimately depends on securing a job with a company willing to sponsor an H-1B visa and then winning the visa lottery. Given the chance, I would definitely consider permanent immigration. The professional opportunities and global exposure here are incredible, and building a career in my field would be a great outcome of my education.

Binghamton University is worth for the money for Master's in CS.

Tips: Before joining, students should know that the weather in Binghamton can be very cold and snowy during the winter months. The coursework is competitive, but the professors are understanding and will work with you to ensure that you have enough time to complete your assignments. For computer science, the courses are valuable and worth the money. Overall, I am highly satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Safety): Binghamton University is in a college town, so you'll mostly see students there. The university provides frequent college buses and public transportation, so you don't have to rely on cabs or other forms of transportation. Compared to city-based colleges, I would say Binghamton is quite safe.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Immigration is a major issue in the United States right now, and the government is trying to control it. It's very difficult to find a job in the United States that will sponsor your visa. In fact, most companies will only sponsor employees who already have a green card. This means that if you're an immigrant looking for a job in the United States, you'll need to have a green card before you can even start applying for jobs.

Peaceful University to study

Tips: International students should apply for on-campus part-time jobs well before joining this university (considering, the student has finalized his/her admission to the university). Since the university lies in upstate New York, they should consider carrying winter clothes.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is free for University students. Transportation includes both University buses as well as county buses. Public transportation is available on both weekends and weekdays where students can commute to grocery stores such as Walmart, Target, etc.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Only 2 Indian restaurants are available, which are 3+ miles away from student housing. Most international students do not own a vehicle to commute. Therefore, it is tedious to travel to such long destinations for Indian restaurants and public transportation would not be available after a dedicated time.

Good university to learn and grow with multiple opportunities.

Tips: One should have good coding knowledge to join this as a CS student. If you excel in your first semester you will get a teaching assistantship and that semester's full fee will be waived off as a scholarship. If you have a good command of coding you will learn a lot at the university.

Likes (Part time work): There are various campus part time jobs available in the university, one can easily get part time. And the the expenses are less when compared to other states. One can easily manage their expenses if they get part-time in the university and a student is not supposed to work off-campus
