Would definitely recommend! Sweet people and nice faculty.
Tips: The location isn’t really how an Indian would typically think of “America”, but don’t let this stop you since there are a lot of opportunities here if you’re willing to work hard. There’s Space Coast nearby making a huge job opportunity for post-graduation.
Likes (Post study jobs): I have seen a lot of my peers getting jobs here (both international and US nationals) and settling. There’s a huge job opportunity here because of a lot of industries operating. Companies do not hesitate to offer H1-B visa to Florida Tech graduates.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Since the university is in a sub-urban setting, there aren’t many places of interest here, leading to less public transport. But, this really isn’t a problem because everything is close by. You can find all sorts of food on campus itself and all the gear you will ever need throughout your college life.

This university is great for STEM programs.
Tips: This university is great for STEM programs and is a great place to be if you don't mind a smaller campus with closer interaction with your peers and professors. The learning is valuable but the circumstances have made it really hard to bank on getting employment here. Professors and recommendations can help so try to set a good impression early on.

Approachable and friendly professors.
Tips: I had noticed subtle yet significant changes after coming here as compared to how academics work in India. For example, professors are far more approachable and treat you as an equal. Also putting yourself out there be it in projects you're interested in or if there is something you want to try, is encouraged. Student life is adventurous but it can also vary from person to person.
