MS Aerospace Engineering - Batch of 2025

Offered by North Carolina State University

4.5

Great university for aerospace and Indian students.

Tips: Cultural shock might initially be challenging but the large Indian student population at NC State makes it easy to make friends, which can help ease homesickness. Securing Resident Assistant (RA) or Teaching Assistant (TA) positions is quite competitive so plan accordingly. Finding part-time work is relatively easy; dining jobs offer $10 per hour with a maximum of 20 hours per week, which can cover living expenses if you share a room and budget carefully. Over time you may be able to move into a higher grade or departmental position which is less demanding and offers better pay. Scholarships for Indian nationals are scarce. The university is excellent with a good faculty, well structured coursework and strong research opportunities. Be prepared to dedicate yourself to your studies. The academic approach here differs significantly from Indian universities; cramming won't suffice for good grades. Plan your studies thoroughly

Master of Public Administration - Batch of 2024

Offered by North Carolina State University

Been a wonderful experience with great academics and faculty.

Tips: Living in NCSU has been an adventure in a lot of senses. You will be expected to bring out the best of your potential in the classrooms while being an active part of the community as well so all in all, you will be pretty busy. The city has a lot of interesting spots to explore but avoid eating out if you are planning on saving some cash. Overall, I am very satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Learning and growing every day at North Carolina State University.

Tips: I have transitioned well since coming to North Carolina State University. Before arriving I had visited the States a few times and was somewhat familiar with the customs. That probably helped me avoid any major culture shock. Take advantage of your leaves and explore the diversity of the city and other parts of the country if possible. There are so many things to see and do and you will be amazed at what you discover.

North Carolina State University has been an ideal place for me to learn and grown significantly.

Tips: What I have realised so far is that while the coursework here is challenging, it can also be rewarding. I've learnt to manage my academic commitments with extra curriculums and truly enjoy the experience offered here at NCSU. Students should use a planner or a digital calendar to help them out with their deadlines and planning. The exam patterns here are very different from those in India so it might take some time to adjust our faculty are helpful and you can reach out to them without any hesitation. There are numerous events and seminars held to help students so you should participate in them.
