It's a bit challenging to find part-time work in the first semester.
Tips: Come to the university 15 days before the semester starts and look for part-time work. Try to secure one, but if you can't, that's okay. After the semester begins focus on getting an internship. Reach out to seniors to learn how to apply for internships and connect with people on LinkedIn. It will be a bit stressful and overwhelming initially so try to manage your time. Concentrate on internships and jobs. It's very important to surround yourself with ambitious friends as word of mouth is key the more you talk about internships and jobs, the more you'll learn. So get involved mingle with people and attend university events especially during your first year. Distributed Systems is a good course but it's demanding. If you're truly interested go for it, otherwise, maybe not. However if you take the course learn it thoroughly and showcase your projects effectively the market for Distributed Systems is currently strong.
Likes (Value for money): This is the best and most affordable school in New York, but the room rent is high. If you have a part-time job, around 90% of your earnings might go towards rent. The tuition fee is approximately 35,000 dollars. Part-time jobs typically pay around 16 per hour; consider seeking Research Assistant positions, as they often offer higher pay.
Dislikes (Part time work): It's a bit challenging to find part-time work in the first semester, but if you keep searching, you might find something by the second semester. If not, that's okay; you'll likely find opportunities in your second year as seniors graduate. Having a part-time job can significantly reduce your financial burden.

Amazing with great career opportunities.
Tips: It's tough to get in as the acceptance rate is 42%, but once you do, you will be able to enjoy scholarship opportunities, a cooperative university, and competitive academics. You will also enjoy overall well-being and no stress, as well as a stress-free, accommodating campus. Job opportunities are high as there is a renowned hospital on campus, which provides hands-on experience. On experience for pupils in courses of healthcare/public. Health and also have a GSU curriculum other than the core curriculum, so this helps a lot when considering fees and expenditure.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In the USA, immigration is really strict. There are a lot of rules about which visas qualify for permanent residency or citizenship. Because of this, it’s tough to get permanent immigration status on an F1 student visa. Working on campus is only allowed for 20 hours a week, so you should plan accordingly.

Public Research University.
Tips: I had the dream of coming to master in USA from a young age after seeing my relatives and others come here. After my undergrad, I did a job for 1 year as SDE and decided to go for Masters. I applied to many universities and the best I got was at Stony brook university MSCS so I decided to pursue my MS in this university. The acceptance rate is an average of around 48%. I have just done my 1st sem. Did 3 subjects and got good grades. There were medium to hard subjects but done with them somehow. Prepare hard for getting into the University as it is getting tough to get into. Consult students who are studying here. It is good for your future. I am satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Indian Food): The Stony Book university is in the middle of New York and there are lot of Indian food here. From South to North every option is available. The restaurant owners are Indians also. The Indian population here won't let you miss Indian food. I prefer cooking myself because New York is so expensive and I still eat outside on weekends. So there is no problem with food options in our country. You'll see a lot of options for Indian food outside Stony Book University.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): This University is good and it's well recognised. Many MNC's visit for placements but due to the current scenario, it is tough to get a good table job after studies. Applying for 100's of internships but getting rejected for all, as situations are bad at present for current job situations. The package varies from degree and it's one of the best universities in New York, so there are a lot of options for Post-study jobs. It will take some time for everything to come back to normal.

Part-time jobs are less but tuition fee is also lesser on comparison.
Tips: Stony Brook University is one of the highly ranked university in the US and also the no.1 public university in the state of New York. It can be challenging at times with academics but put in the effort and it should be manageable and one should be able to adjust to the fast paced life as to not fall behind on academics and internships. When it comes to part time, the options are very low for the graduate student and getting one can be considered lucky, so this is not the college if you want to rely entirely on part-time. Tuition fee is low compared to other colleges but housing is expensive. Assistantships are also tough to get if you haven't been offered one on admission

Value for money university
Tips: Culturally very accepting, super easy on students, especially Indian origin has a good community to live on campus, and good diversity as well. Relatively tougher, but students do get RA positions with tuition funded and a good stipend. I am totally satisfied with the university and with the country.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): US is a tough place if you are concerned with permanent settlement, but the quality of education and industry exposure is top-tier. Very few other countries would provide this experience with such minds to collaborate and this is super important for personal growth. Given a chance to permanently migrate here, I would not choose to.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Middle eastern and Indian food available are relatively good prices. There are a few canteens, marketplaces and dining halls which provide diverse options and fairly standard prices. Some options are mac and cheese for 2.5$, salad bowls for 4$, full course bowls for 10$

Rigorous and smooth administration
Tips: Rigorous study environments, relaxed international community, good number of international students and professors. There we have healthy competitions and great exposure to different social events to build all round developments. Indian students are good in numbers here.
Likes (Safety): Very safe on campus community. Campus police departments is well-staffed and trained to ensure the safety of the student. The university has strict policies and procedures in place to prevent crime and respond to emergencies. Stony brook university also has a number of resources for students such as 24-hour emergency response team.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many options for economical Indian food nearby. There are only a few restaurants which can give Indian food. The lack of demand for that type of cuisine may be one reason for that. Along with that, there are separate bodies which provide only American food.
