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.

Comfortable learning environment, diverse courses and highly qualified faculty.

Tips: Duke is a great university. You can get everything that you desire here. The sports are amazing, the facilities are great as well. They provide scholarships to a lot of individuals who apply. It is directly connected to your applications, and no need to apply separately.

Likes (Indian Food): The food here is super diverse, and there are many Indian options for students. There are a number of different Indian places in Cary and Raleigh, but there are also restaurants that serve Indian cuisine at the campus food court. Most of the food I've tried there has been pretty delicious, and they have a whole separate market that has authentic Indian food for sale as well.

Dislikes (Safety): The apartments are gated, but not all of them. Some are very unsafe and have no security. There have been shootings across various off-campus housing. The public transport is a little risky, and a lot of homeless people and addicts live close to the West campus.

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.

The tuition is quite high but the experience is worth it.

Tips: Take courses outside of your programme as they add a lot more value than you expect them to. The tuition is quite high, but I think it is worth it. The faculty and the courses make up for it all.

Likes (Student Life): There's always an event happening at one place or another, they try to make students' lives as enriching as possible. The college provides amazing resources to all students. There's also events to de-stress and relax for when you are worried about internship search etc.

Dislikes (Safety): The public transport here is not very safe. There's also often shooting and muggings happening around Durham. The campus itself is very safe, but outside, you always have to be on high alert. Many students have reported hearing gunshots late into the night, and some have seen people pull out a gun while they were walking.
