The universe is diverse and worth the money totally.

Tips: The university is great and gives you lots of great experiences. There are sometimes scholarships too. The quality of the faculty here is very good. There are no limits to the learning you can do at this university. It can be a bit daunting with the job market, but if we push through, maybe we can make this happen.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is a bit pricey since the restaurants are not really Indian but if you have a part-time job, it's still affordable. There are food coupons available from the university sometimes. The cost of food is on the pricier side, but it is in reach.

There are a bunch of opportunities, so keep looking around until you find one that's right for you.

Tips: There are a few scholarship opportunities, so make sure you apply early. Part-time work can be secured while you are in India. Make sure to avail yourself of that option if you can. And you need to start networking as early as you can. There are lots of on-campus events where you can meet industry folks. The campus is beautiful and has a garden that’s a tourist attraction. And the fall semester has a Duke football tailgate event, which is pretty great as well. If you are looking for a college with great sports teams, great facilities, and a great student community, then consider Duke University.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are tons of options available for part-time work, most of which can be found on the Duke-specific job site, Jobx. The other option is to look for a TA position. This means you start emailing professors early on and following up.

You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people.

Tips: There is very little diversity in the MEM program, and you need to prepare yourself to connect with people outside of the program. Make sure to take full advantage of the different clubs at Duke and join as per your liking. Attend all the fun events on campus and try to stay on campus as much as possible.

Likes (Student Life): Duke has the best college experience because of the basketball team and a lot of international diversity on campus. There are a lot of fun events happening around campus. The campus is very beautiful and aesthetic, and you can stay on campus for the entire day.

Dislikes (Internships): The career fair at Duke is not that helpful as there are very few companies that participate, and ones who participate mostly don't sponsor. You have to find internships on your own through job portals and connections with people over LinkedIn for referrals.

Fun, sports-oriented school that gives a great environment for students.

Tips: Learn about Duke Basketball and the NBA history from Duke. Most of the college's history relies on this, and it's easier to understand and relate to it. Attend as many events and games as possible, even if they clash with your exams and classes. This is once in a lifetime experience.

The campus has a lively atmosphere with so many events.

Tips: There was a culture shift and it took some time for me to understand how things were going and adjust to it accordingly. The biggest challenge was getting used to the assignment and it needs to be done to ace it further. It is a good college to be in.

Duke is good but there is not much help to international students with job networking events.

Tips: The Indian community at Duke is strong, so the transition to life on campus was pretty easy. I secured a merit scholarship automatically when I applied. I do a lot of my own cooking, but there are a few good Indian restaurants close to Duke that offer all kinds of amazing options for a decent price. I've even gotten two meals out of some dishes, so if you don't want to cook, you've got great alternatives. Also, there are other options not far away if you're down for a short drive. I’m happy with Duke, but I wish it provided more help to international students with job networking events or something of that nature.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is not very reliable and not too safe. Using Duke's buses is helpful and a game-changer. Since most events and necessities happen around Duke, it is manageable without a car and just by using the university transport. Otherwise, having a car is very important.
