Incredible experience of DePaul University.

Tips: This college is an amazing place. If you come regularly, you'll feel at home here. There are always events going on related to study and fun. There are so many courses to choose from, and you can apply for scholarships. But the best thing about this college is the people. There are so many people who are always ready to help every person who needs it.

Likes (Post study jobs): The college organises a career fair twice a quarter to help every student. They also help us to build resumes. I do not know much about companies but DePaul makes sure that DePaul students will get a higher level of post after study and get paid well.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are very few jobs available to international students, and they are highly competitive. There are only about 200 jobs available on campus, and there are about 3,000 applications for those jobs. International students are not allowed to work off campus, so it is imperative that they find a job on campus if they want to stay in the country.

Select the course wisely.

Tips: Before joining this college students should be aware of the course which they are choosing and how the location of the college is going benefit their course. The university is better than the other in this location and they provide various resources for the students so the student has to utilize these resources. The university keeps many events for networking so we have to put ourselves out there in order to grab the opportunity.

The amazing experience of DePaul and Chicago.

Tips: When you arrive at the airport, there will be a DePaul volunteer who will help you reach home and greet you with some goodies. I got a dean's scholarship worth 7500 Dollars. Mostly every student who is admitted to this college will get this scholarship. I am very satisfied with the university even though my courses and the country are so amazing and full of surprises.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is so great here. Our college has everyday events and activities which help us to make new friends and learn something new. I participated in a lot of activities. They offered free movies on Sunday in the AMC theatre, and apart from all these we are free to come to Chicago the best city to explore.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I am a vegetarian, which makes it difficult for me to find restaurants that offer only vegetarian food. I have found a few Indian restaurants that have vegetarian options, but most of them also have non-vegetarian options. This means that if I want to eat at one of these restaurants, I have to ask them to prepare a vegetarian dish that is not on the menu. This can be inconvenient, and it also means that I am not always sure what I am getting.

DePaul university has good visa acceptance rate

Tips: If you want to study in an urban setup then it's good. Other than that ROI is not that great. Public transportation of the city is brilliant and economical for students. However, the tuition cost is a bit higher than usual.

Likes (Public transportation): The CTA has done a great job of transportation CTA spells as Chicago public transport. 8 metro lines are there, and nearly 150 different routes of bus transportation. And we need to pay 105 to the university and they will give us a U pass which we can use in public transport.

Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fees are high because we are studying in an urban setup and obviously we need to pay more to study here. Based on my experience I thought that studying in an urban setup would give more opportunities but it is not always the case. Lastly, your skills only matter.

Bittersweet experience, needs more industry exposure

Tips: There was a huge cultural shift but it was easy to blend in. I did get a scholarship when I got admitted to the university based on my profile as an undergrad. I'm quite satisfied with the quality of my education and the guidance from my advisors.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members that teach are industry working professionals and they give the students exposure to real-world problems. They are quite helpful as well in terms of doubt-solving and even take one-on-one sessions when discussing assignments. Highly appreciate it.

Dislikes (Part time work): It's very difficult to acquire one. As the application process is quite time-consuming and most of the jobs don't even inform you about the status of the application. It was a good experience overall. I am happy to attend and recommend it as a good option.
