A diverse, supportive, and academically enriching experience at PSU.
Tips: Transitioning to PSU was smooth, though there was an initial cultural shift in adapting to a new education system and independent learning. The university provides various scholarships, but competition is high. I did not avail of any, but there are merit-based and need-based options available. Life at PSU is vibrant and engaging, with numerous student clubs, cultural events, and academic workshops. I spend my days attending classes, working on classes, and participating in student-led teach meetups. The university hosts career fairs, hackathons, and networking events frequently, which I actively participate in. Overall, I am highly satisfied with PSU, my course, and my experience in the US.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The faculty at PSU is knowledgeable and experienced, making learning a rewarding experience. They are highly accessible and approachable, always willing to clarify doubts and provide guidance outside class hours. The teaching methodology emphasises hands-on projects and real-world applications.

PSU - A worthwhile experience
Tips: Tution fee is slightly on the expensive side, however, the coursework does pave the way for good job opportunities as it has Intel, AMD and other good companies close by. The place is more welcoming with good options to explore for people with different food preferences. The beautiful and picturesque nature is the cherry on top. The things to keep in mind are to focus on the coursework, projects/assignments and exams as the coursework, in general, is tough. Networking is highly important in order to get internships and further full-time opportunities.
Likes (Value for money): The coursework at PSU is crafted carefully to give the student industry-level knowledge at the school level alongside real-time projects which improves the skills. There are many good companies like Intel, AMD, NVidia that actively hire interns and full-time candidates from the university.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Considering the competition, the permanent settlement is tougher than earlier, however, not impossible. Networking with the right people might help in getting job opportunities and funding for a work visa. The process and time taken for permanent settlement is lengthy.

A great learning experience with some financial challenges.
Tips: Students should be prepared for a mix of academic and practical learning. The coursework is rigorous, requiring consistent effort. Living expenses in Portland are on the higher side, so budgeting is crucial. The weather is often rainy, which might take time to adjust to. Networking and internships play a key role in securing job opportunities. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences and the university.
Likes (Safety): Portland State University has a well-equipped campus security system, including emergency call station, night safety escorts, and police patrols. The university also provides secure housing and counseling services. The campus is generally safe, and the city, while having some concerns, remains manageable with proper precautions.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fee at Portland State University is reasonable compared to other universities in the U. S., but living expenses in Portland, including rent and transportation, make the overall cost high. While the quality of education is good, the return on investment depends on job opportunities post-graduation.
