IU Bloomington provides a wide range of opportunities.

Tips: I would say come prepared with good projects in your resume, manage yourself and work hard. The initial days might be hard, but slowly it gets better. This university is really good for international students and I would recommend it to many, apart from Indian students. The data science courses here are some of the best in the USA, and there are plenty of opportunities.

Likes (Part time work): The on-campus part-time jobs are many in dining, and any student can easily get into one before coming here. I got mine before coming here; many students do. The assistantship opportunities are also many, and there are organisations like CNS, UITS, and the Housier Community Centre which pay well. A student can easily survive on the expenses in Bloomington with a part-time job. And maybe on the starting days might be hectic to manage things, but slowly we get used to those.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I do not wish you to permanently immigrate to the USA. I always wanted to get back to India. And this particular question cannot be answered in a university-specific way now. Indeed, I can say IUB is one of the best universities for international students, with plenty of opportunities giving OPT.

Academic integrity and hard work is the key here.

Tips: When you are moving to the U. S from India, there is a notable cultural shift, but it's manageable with time. The communication style here is more direct and informal. People love their personal space, it's a two-way street, you respect their personal space and they respect yours. When it comes to the educational system in the U. S, its emphasis more on critical thinking and your participation in the class matters a lot unlike the lecture-based and rot memorization methods followed in India. The assignments and projects require your own input and the grades are earned solely through your efforts and contribution. Plagiarism is highly offensive and unacceptable here, you will not get away with it, so it's advised to show academic integrity at all times. I'm highly satisfied with the university's academic quality, course offerings and the opportunities it provides.

Do not expect good placement.

Tips: Placements are not really good for the amount of fees paid. Amenities are good but still, the college fee is at a higher price point. Education quality is good. Most of the professors teach really well, but with the higher acceptance rate into the college, the quality of the student environment turns poor.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is available for free to commute and takes less than 20 minutes. Most of the buses are crowded during the class timings, but other times they are mostly empty. Transportation is not available 24/7. Saturdays and Sundays they are only available between 10 to 6.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): College doesn't really help in securing jobs. Out of 100 companies that come to career fairs, only 2 to 3 are willing to take international students. Most opportunities are for experienced people rather than freshers. It would be a good idea to come here after having some experience.

Work hard, play hard, a place to enjoy, location not the best

Tips: Lots of work to do, all around from course to change in lifestyle, part time etc. Be mentally prepared. Courses are academically tough, so you'll have to start on the assignments early on and also give proper time to your job prep, college is not of much help for co-ops, even if you secure one yourself.

I have a positive opinion. Good university.

Tips: I would say it is a good college and you can definitely consider joining it. It is a university worth every penny. You can get a part-time job pretty easily. You can manage your monthly expenses. Also, the living cost is below average so overall a 4.5/5.
