NYUAD: A Chef's Salad An American Institute in the middleast
Tips: If you are not used to being in a diverse environment, the transition to NYUAD could be difficult. However, it is a very friendly campus with a zero-discrimination policy. For Indians, it is not very difficult to adjust because there's a large Indian community on campus. There are options to get a fully-funded education that covers everything and I got one. Your admission application process is through a common app, and if you want a fully-funded education, you can also submit a college board application. FAFSA will review it, and the university will provide you with financial aid accordingly.
Likes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs depend on your field of study. STEM fields have more demand here but there are also companies who want individuals who have expertise in inter-disciplinary learning. There is definitely some scope but graduation from NYUAD gives me an edge while applying for jobs abroad as well. There is a 95% employment rate.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UAE only gives you sponsorship visas and you cannot attain citizenship here. However, there are options to get a Golden Visa for 10 years with your academic excellence. If you complete a degree from the world's top 100 universities, you will get a golden visa. I personally enjoy living in the Emirates because it feels nothing less than India.

Tips: NYU gives out scholarships if you have a good UG GPA. Personally, the transition worked out for me, talking about cultural shifts I would say that ain't big of an issue. Overall I'd say I am more than satisfied with my decision to pursue a masters not exclusively academic but decent.

Connectivity to surrounding cities is good as well you could reach Jersey in 10 minutes. The costs as well don't cut that deep into the pocket

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave NYU a low rating for permanent immigration options because it's incredibly difficult to immigrate to the United States.
