Brought out my potential.
Tips: I would say that I underestimated the workload here, and after a semester or so, I realised the true intensity of studying. You're also surrounded by some of the smartest and intellectually curious individuals, which certainly helps in broadening your way of thinking. Out of classroom exposure is emphasised as much as within the classrooms, so make sure you get a chance to experience it all.

Place to aspire to study.
Tips: I have experienced a lot of change in my attitude and outlook on how I perceive things and situations. CMU has a very global campus, so you'll meet people from all over the world, especially India. Lots of resources as well, which you should make use of. People can be a bit more reserved than you'd expect, and the classes have a very high academic standard. Try not to burn out during your time here.

Very academic environment.
Tips: The first thing I would emphasise is to plan financially, as CMU does not give out scholarships easily, and even if you get one, it is extremely competitive to maintain it as well. Plus, there are no part-time jobs outside of campus to help make ends meet. Being a part of the Indian student association has helped me get comfortable here and given me friends I can rely on. Also, relatively grading is the norm, and if you're stuck early on, please reach out to your professors; they are happy to help.

Good place and friendly people.
Tips: CMU is one of the most reputed institutions in the USA for various reasons. The quality of education and teaching is among the best. Our professors are well-known in their industries, and students gain a lot of independence. It's also very competitive. While most of us came here for work and settlement opportunities, the current situation makes that seem unrealistic. However, there is a supportive community.

Experience to cherish.
Tips: My transition here was smooth and my initial anxieties were short-lived as there are so many students on the same boat. The administration did a good job with the orientation and ensuring that new students were given assistance to their needs. In terms of academics, classes are competitive and relatively grading can seriously test you.
