Exploring opportunities.

Tips: Students can be prepared for a potential cultural shift especially if they are coming from a different country or region. It's essential to be open-minded and adaptable to new experiences, cultures and perspectives.

Likes (Safety): I rated safety at Southeast Missouri state university with a 5. Apart from campus security the universe likely provides resources such as emergency call boxes, well-lit pathways and safety escorts to ensure students' safety on campus with many programs.

Dislikes (Part time work): Not many on-campus part-time jobs are available. While there are some opportunities available on campus, the variety and number of positions may be limited. Balancing part-time with academics can be challenging for some students due to scheduling conflicts.

Good place to study and stay

Tips: Before coming here I would suggest getting to know about coursework and I will also suggest doing some projects in university. The university provides $1000 scholarship per year. I recommend this university for middle-class people. Also, I will strongly recommend students to focus on course work.

My college is very friendly and liberal. The staff are friendly. Would recommend people.

Tips: I did not personally experience any cultural shift. But I have seen people transition a lot after coming to US in general. I Got international student scholarship, every international student gets one. It gets added to your student account, 1000$ each semester. I am satisfied with my overall experience.

Likes (Safety): The campus area is safer, if you choose to live nearby it is safe, as there are police almost all the time. The facilities on campus are good too. I personally do not have any bad experiences in the city as I lived for only 3 months in the beginning and then shifted to another place.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There is no Indian restaurants available in the locality. So there is no option for Indian food. Although there is a place like 2hrs from there which is called St. louis. There you can find plenty of Indian food and restaurants. I prefer cooking for myself.
