CompTIA A+ Certification - Batch of 2022

4.3

Vibrant student life and academically oriented university.

Tips: My JEE rank and my interest in Physics helped me choose Mechanical Engineering. The transition had been both exciting and challenging. While I thought that the curriculum might seem irrelevant for real world scenarios, it was on par for future academic pursuits. Most of the teachers used PowerPoint presentations for teaching, which is quiet, but I personally would prefer the old-fashioned chalk and board method. However, the classes were highly engaging and interactive. The frequency of the exams was perfect. There are part-time opportunities, but it can take some time to figure it out. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

Diverse campus and a vibrant student life.

Tips: I initially thought this university and life here would revolve around tech and startups, but after spending some time here, I realised how truly versatile the campus and its people are. I've met artists, activists, and techies all under one roof. I also received a partial department scholarship of around 1500 USD, which helped cover some basic expenses. You should come with an open mind and trust the process a little.

Expensive city but great college.

Tips: I was surprised by how accepting, fun, and innovative the vibe in SFO was. People are always creating, and if you're a passionate individual or interested in teaching, you'll fit right in. The weather is also really nice, but travelling within the US is expensive and takes around 5-6 hours by air, so your options are limited. Rent is also extremely high, so find someone to share with and learn to budget.
