MS in Computer Science - Batch of 2026

On-campus jobs are difficult to find for first-year MS students.

Tips: I received a $5000 scholarship, and many others have also been awarded scholarships. There was definitely a significant cultural adjustment coming here from India. I am generally satisfied with my university and course, but it would have been even better with some research experience.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is good, with various clubs and activities available. The Indian community is active, making it easier to feel connected, and there are some sightseeing spots in and around St. Louis.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus jobs are hard to come by for first-year MS students due to limited openings. The average pay for part-time work is $12-$14 per hour, and with a large student population, the competition is intense. Students should start applying from their first semester.

The faculty is great, understanding and helps you to excel in your academics.

Tips: Students should be ready for all kinds of experiences. The college has a very good resource and nice staffing. The college even provides you with free mobile transport passes, but in the end, the city is very scary, and I would suggest staying away from downtown or at least in a community where there are a lot of people who are not from your race.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Good faculty in the course that I have taken. The assignments are tough, but due to a lot of students around and resources to get from the universities, as well as the lecture video and the class lecture, it is easier for one to understand what they are doing, and if you come from a place of zero experience, in the course you are in, you can clearly express it with the instructor given the fact that you are interested, and they will definitely help you out.

Dislikes (Safety): The city with the most reported crime in the US is St. Louis City, which has a lot of people with coloured backgrounds, so the number of homeless people and the number of jobless people with minimum salaries are very high in the city, leading to different kinds of crimes but not any daylight robberies.

Interesting and a unique experience to cherish.

Tips: SLU is very historic and even the campus is structured in a very medieval manner which adds to its appeal. There is a wide variety of courses and programs offered and courses are quite research intensive as well. The faculty is helpful and understanding. However, it might not be the best fit for everyone so it's important to keep an open mind.

It provides one of a kind learning experience.

Tips: Before you arrive on campus, it is better to give yourself a margin of a week to settle down in terms of time zones, demography, etc. There are also special student services portals you can use to help you out in a variety of situations from documents to class registration.
