Academic yet rewarding university.

Tips: CMU is one of the most diverse and academically demanding universities out there so you should be ready to give your 100% from the very get go. Classes are challenging but they're structured in a way to bring out the best of you and there are plenty of networking opportunities, as well as career fairs and mixers which you should check out. Professors give you a lot of freedom but you will be expected to advocate for yourself and manage your work life balance to the best of your ability. Pittsburgh is quite a lovely city to live in.

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.

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.

Competitive and studious environment.

Tips: I came here with an open mind and a willingness to learn, which are important for enjoying what CMU has to offer. The post-work situation is complicated, as companies don't offer sponsorships as easily anymore. While I didn't receive a scholarship, I did get early admission, which made my decision to study here easier.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are very limited job opportunities here in the United States, so be prepared for the challenges, which may take a few years to overcome. Many companies are unwilling to offer sponsorships, which complicates the process.

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.
