Tips: If you haven't been offered a scholarship, please do ask them, send them an email. They offer scholarships to almost every master's and PhD student, so don't miss out on that. In terms of transition, forget Indian food, especially buying it out, get all you need to cook Indian food from home, save time, money and most importantly, tastes so much better.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is connected really well in terms of public transportation. Since Virginia is well connected because of the same they have pretty good Indian stores and restaurants compared to Foggy Bottom, DC. Hence, we make many trips. However safety is of no concern within the campus. If you're stepping out you may have to be cautious.

Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the new rules, any international student studying under the F1 visa can only work part time within campus. This, as a result created a huge competition towards getting these job roles.Its not that you cannot land a part time but you must constantly apply and you should be able to land a decent one within 3-6 months. Part times are generally not that stressful. You can easily manage your studies as part times timings can be flexible depending on your class schedule. A point to note here is you may land a campus part time in a different campus you have free shuttles to connect you there from the main campus or you may use the metro, for which u can opt for the UPASS program which saves you a lot of money on public transportation. The average payout for any part time is usually about 18 dollars per hour and you are allowed to work over 40 hours during vacation and 20 hours per week while classes are going on. The pay can go up to 20 dollars as well.

Diverse and Rewarding GWU

Tips: Newcomers should be prepared for a vibrant diverse community. Transitioning here involved adapting to a significant cultural shift enriching my global perspective. I secured a scholarship through academic merit.

Likes (Safety): Facilities like emergency call stations safety apps and escort services contribute to a secure environment. I haven't had any bad experiences in the city reinforcing my confidence in the university commitment to student safety.

Dislikes (Internships): George Washington University offers good support and resources for finding and applying to relevant internships in the Computer Science field though finding the perfect match requires personal effort and connections.
