Master of Computational Data Science (Human-Centered Data Science Concentration) - Batch of 2027

3.8

Great to polish yourself academically.

Tips: Studying here will surely be intense. You will have a heavy work load and you will also feel like you're falling behind. Remember that the process is the same for everyone and there are some helpful campus resources you can always take advantage of. I enjoy classroom discussions and the brand value of studying here is unmatched. Labs are well equipped as well and professors have been very helpful.

Great college for academically intense students.

Tips: My transition was smooth. I did not face a lot of problems. The cohort is small but everyone is accommodating and friendly. I got a 25% scholarship, which was through my course. I did not have to do anything for it. I like the university and my course a lot.

Master of Science in Architecture - Engineering - Construction Management - Batch of 2026

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.

Master of Tangible Interaction Design - Batch of 2026

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.

MS in Biomedical Engineering and Integrated Study in Computer Science - Batch of 2026

3.8

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.
