Operations and Supply Chain Management (BBA) - Batch of 2026

3.8

Good location and a good place to learn.

Tips: I have had an enjoyable and insightful journey here and I personally found the campus to be quite welcoming and happening as well. Everything here is quite accessible as well be it the metro, shopping avenues and pubs as well because the university is located downtown. A good way to socialize is through the clubs especially for international students.

Peaceful and quiet campus life.

Tips: The business programs here are very practical and conducted by very knowledgeable faculty who have a lot of experience in their fields. Networking opportunities here are limited and I've seen that internship opportunities are more as compared to full time job roles. Campus life is more peaceful and helps me in remaining focused.

Bachelor of Chemical Engineering - Batch of 2026

My experience in CSU.

Tips: My experience here has taught me a lot about how to navigate in a different country, be independent and resource management as well. CSU is good with their flexibility and that they are project intensive if you are more of a practical learner as compared to theory. It can be better in terms of safety especially after sunset, so you should keep this in mind. Overall, a good place to learn.

Engineering Mechanics (MS) - Batch of 2027

3.7

Good place for learning.

Tips: My university does pretty well in certain programs such as in CS courses, although I have noticed several discrepancies in the way courses are structured and classes could be organised in a better manner. The environment is nice and relaxed and classroom sizes are also limited, allowing more interaction and verbal understanding. The theoretical aspects of my major could be carried out in a better format. Good place to upskill overall.

Fascinating learning environment.

Tips: There were culture shocks in terms of behaviour cues and expressions but people were kind enough to have an open mind and ease to them which made setting in easier. The coursework is really reading intensive but the extra credit work at times is more out of the box and interesting and helpful in boosting your grade so didn't skip that. Try to live as near campus as possible to save on commute expenses.
