Master of Entrepreneurial Ventures - Batch of 2026

Good for industry experience.

Tips: I have transitioned mostly positively after coming here. Most of my day is spent attending classes and lectures, working in labs and spending time at the Park Library. My course involves a lot of group projects which makes brainstorming and ideation quite fun. Safety and wellbeing is taken quite seriously here with patrols and services available but you'll also have to be street smart to an extent. Good industrial knowledge.

Good campus with good people.

Tips: Student life is vibrant which has really helped in making things easier for me in terms of settling here. Try to pack only essentials and avoid unnecessary items as you'll have to get stuff here but things like masalas and stationery have been quite useful. There are a variety of clubs on campus as well and I'd consider it safe. Good experiences.

Innovative and passionate people here.

Tips: I found the environment here very supportive and collaborative as well. People expect you to step out of your shell and the environment here tends to make that happen as naturally as possible. Id love to stay on if I get a scholarship but the chances for that are limited. Most students who manage to secure an internship here get full time offers as well so it really depends. Be open to relating after graduation.

There are very few job opportunities available for international students.

Tips: Studying here taught me how to slow down and truly absorb everything that is going on. Here, I got a lot of time to truly learn, grow and reflect. The downside is that there are close to no jobs and openings for international students, and a lot of research funding has been cut, which is making it seem like a somewhat hostile landscape right now. Detroit is a couple of hours away, and we would make it a point to go there every two weeks for supplies and entertainment.

Learning a lot throughout.

Tips: Studying here wasn't my first choice, but it turned out to be the right one. The faculty is good, the people around are great, and someone is always happy to help. The city is peaceful, with plenty of Indians residing there. My program has some of the best professors, who are also very supportive.
