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. Plus, there are food coupons available from the university sometimes. Overall, the cost of food is on the pricier side, but it is in reach.

Campus is beautiful and well-connected to the city, and Duke buses are free of cost.
Tips: Before you commit to this university, it is important to do your research on the types of careers that are offered with a degree from this university. You also need to make sure that this university offers courses that would help you in the career path that you wish to follow. You should also ensure that the courses are flexible and that the teaching environment is well-suited to your learning style and preferences. You should also ensure that the courses would not take up too much of your time, and that you have plenty of time left over to pursue other interests and extracurricular activities. It’s also a good idea to prepare a plan of when and how to get to classes, so that you will always be on time. Duke offers buses and night transit from major off-campus housing to all academic locations, so buses are very good and sufficient. Cabs are also an option if you want to go out somewhere. The campus is beautiful and well-connected to the city, and Duke buses are free of cost. The job market is competitive, and the job search is very challenging. Salaries start around 80,000 per year, and go as high as 150,000 depending on job level.

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.

Great student life and strong academics.
Tips: Duke University offers incredible academic and professional opportunities, with readily available part-time work options and strong support systems. I received a scholarship based on academic merit and financial need which helped cover some living expenses.
Likes (Student Life): Duke has a vibrant campus life with plenty of social events, clubs, and activities that cater to a wide range of interests. There are frequent parties, cultural events, and student-led initiatives that make it easy to meet new people and stay engaged outside the classroom.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The main mode of transport available is the bus, which limits flexibility and convenience when trying to explore the city or travel beyond campus. While the campus is somewhat connected to key parts of the city through bus routes, there aren't other options available like subways or trams.

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.
