MS in Biochemistry - Batch of 2026

Good experience with lots of learnings.
Tips: Texas is a very widespread campus with diverse students and faculty and you'll not take too long to adjust. People are easy going and classes are experiential with multi faceted conversations forming a central theme. In terms of post graduation work opportunities, things are becoming increasingly restrictive, but if you form good connections with your professors, you can avail benefits in the form of LORs and projects and even use them as references.

The campus is quite vast, open and diverse.
Tips: The campus is quite vast and open, and you'll be in for a lot of walking. Part-time jobs are limited, but you can get lucky if you are quick with applying for research or TA positions, where there's also a stipend at times. Come with a scholarship, and if you have a solid plan of action, as things are extremely unpredictable at the moment.

Been a learning process.
Tips: My transition was gradual, and all my inhibitions and worries disappeared quite quickly after being on campus for at least two to three weeks. The campus is full of life and quite outdoorsy as well, so if you have wished to pick up a sport, you have the perfect opportunity to do so here. Rent is more reasonable here compared to a lot of other cities, and in class grading is subject to various parameters, not simply your performance on exams. This also depends on your classes and professors and what their basis of grading is.

Part-time jobs are not available for international students.
Tips: Culture shifts are there, but Texas has a lot of Indian representation, so at least your culture is somewhat reserved, and there are food options and Indian restaurants around. Part-time jobs are not for international students so you'll have to rely on saving and budgeting instead. I received a merit based scholarship which ease out the cost of tuition a bit although the cost of living isn't covered. Lots of parties and events are constant here throughout the year so you can expect a breather when classes get too hectic.
