Master of Science in Health Informatics - Batch of 2025

5.0

A multi dimensional university with larger healthcare focus

Tips: Regarding off-campus stay, one would need to thoroughly check different options available based on the price, distance from the university etc. And need to be proactive in the application. The scholarship will be automatically applied and will be mentioned in the admit letter. Completion of prerequisite courses, if any mentioned in the admit letter will help thorough understanding of lectures. After the admit letter is received, one needs to be proactive in reading the emails from the university and taking action.

Likes (Quality of faculty): There are many student organizations and clubs focusing well-being of international students which organize various events on campus throughout the year. There are many kinds of events like weeks of welcome during the start of the semester, cultural events during festive occasions and mental wellbeing events during exam periods and retreats before holidays.

Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty are great with updated knowledge and expertise in the field. They are welcoming and kind for any help including doubts and discussions. Separate classes for lectures and labs on different days are unique and help students to revise concepts thoroughly and to gain hands-on experience.

Opportunities are available if you meet the requirements.

Tips: I was able to secure a scholarship after writing an essay on what I wanted to do in the next few years after not even searching for scholarships for a day. That said, scholarships are to be found easily and would depend on your major.

Likes (Post study jobs): Opportunities are many and depend on your credentials and certification, if you meet the requirements you can get a job. I have yet to identify salary packages accurately but roughly speaking $50k to $100k for jobs related to IT. There are IT customer service jobs starting at $14 / hr as a part time student on campus and can go up to $40000 with benefits as full-time.

Dislikes (Value for money): As an international student one has to pay out-of-state fees which is considerably higher than in-state fees paid by locals. However, there are many scholarships to secure if you're getting above 3.0 / 4.0 GPA and that's why I rated it a 3 out of 5.

The University is excellent in terms of faculty, infrastructure(campus), diversity.

Tips: People are very nice here and small talk is frequent so learn to talk to people and be nice. I did get scholarships, it was a mix of grants and awards which I got after applying through the university website. Pretty satisfied with everything so far.

Likes (Internships): Professors and the university have provided us with tools that would help build our careers. There are many internships available relevant to my field of study as well as my different interests. We use student job portals to find jobs/internships through which I found a job within a week.

Dislikes (Student Life): A usual day of college involves taking classes, going around college and playing games during break. In the first week, a lot of tabling events have been set up throughout the campus which showcase all the different clubs, frats and sororities. I have enrolled in the real estate and growing club.

IUPUI is a very good college.

Tips: This is not a party college, but I absolutely love the perks after a student graduates from here. IUPUI is a very good college, a person who is looking for a great school with amazing faculty and job opportunities should definitely think of coming here.

Likes (Part time work): I can say there is good part time work because I saw a lot of available jobs for students. I did not find a lot of difficulty in finding a job after coming here. It is definitely easy but one should choose a job that suits them and their academics. IUPUI also provides fair pay for on campus jobs.

Dislikes (Value for money): I think the tuition cost of IUPUI is a little on the higher side. Apart from that the city of Indianapolis is not that expensive to be honest. One could spend $500 dollars monthly here on groceries and other expenses. Also I feel the university should give out higher scholarships.

A great university environment and atmosphere for studies.

Tips: The University is good and it has now separated into two universities but they still share many common resources. For business degrees Indiana University is good, else for engineering degrees, Purdue University is good. You will find lots of Indians here.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is supportive. Professors are from various nationalities like Indian and mostly Asian etc. They even curve classes a lot for our understanding. The faculty is friendly to answer any question you might have. They are also supportive of giving LORs.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are nearby with good taste. On campus, they sometimes have Indiana food too but it does not taste that good. Pricing is also decent. I stayed on campus and had a meal plan and the food there was okay.
