Interesting and historic university.

Tips: Turns out that Tallahassee is more peaceful than I imagined, but that’s worked out well because the student community is really involved and inclusive. Prepare to deal with the hot and humid weather, though. Getting my scholarship was nice because it’s based on merit, but I’ve heard that the current policies have made it unpredictable to win one.

Diverse and vibrant campus.

Tips: I have experienced a lot of changes in myself in terms of confidence and personality since I came here. The lab work and experience centres are top-notch, and you’d be doing yourself a disservice if you weren’t taking advantage of all the available resources. The cultural events held by the Indian Association really feel like home.

Great faculty and facilities.

Tips: I came here with very mixed feelings. The tuition and living costs can really add up, so there is pressure to make something out of it. But the university has been quite understanding of it, and the faculty are helpful in times of distress and emergencies. The labs are also well funded, and my advisor has been a great help. Take your time, and once you get to know the place, you'll surely be happy.

Masters in Data Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by Florida State University

3.7

There are no scholarships available for the data science department.

Tips: There was not much of a transition before and after coming here as many Indian students are pursuing their master’s or Ph.D. programs. Plus, there are no scholarships available for the data science department, as the department is self-funded. Although other departments may not offer scholarships at first, there's a chance to get some later in the semester. While the Nole Network and Career Fair are available, it is harder for international students to get internships and full-time jobs because many companies don't hire them due to visa sponsorship. In these cases, the burden falls on students to network and use personal referrals to find work. It seems that being a US citizen or having a Green Card makes finding work easier.

Likes (Public transportation): Seminole Express and Star metro services are available throughout the Tallahassee area. College buses run only on weekdays, from Monday to Thursday. Star metro buses run every day. People here widely use their own cars for transportation.
