Master of Learning Technologies - Batch of 2026

Great for independence and growth.

Tips: What helped me the most was the connection with alumni and seniors and getting an idea of places that were soon to be vacant as well as garage sales which helped me have an advantage when it came to accommodation. There are always students moving out and they are more than willing to sell their home essentials at rates lower than the market. Aside from this, try and get noticed by your professors as their recommendation can help with jobs and even post graduation.

Dislikes (Part time work): There used to be a part time work culture decades ago but if you come as a student right now, there are maybe a few opening on campus which almost every other person wants so your chances are slim to none. If you get one, I would say it is manageable.

Great campus, vibrant student life and many events.

Tips: Something that surprised me here was how much importance is given to group projects and participating in classes, not just speaking and representing, but also being an active listener. The faculty also encourages us to actively participate in events and clubs. I also spend time playing intramural football, which gives me a set routine and has helped me make good friends. Participate in everything you can, and you'll not feel like you're missing out.

Learn about the Mid Western culture before coming

Tips: The mid-western culture is a very courteous but close culture. So be ready to be warmly welcomed as a guest to begin with, but it's very difficult if not impossible to become a part of them, except if you learn basketball and soccer. As an MBA, you will find a lot of networking options, if you are smart about using these opportunities to mix with them, then you will may find your way into being accepted.

Likes (Safety): The place is pretty safe and easy to move around. There are certain areas that you must avoid, but you will find such areas few in number. Overall a very safe place. I haven't heard of or come across instances of unsafe behaviour. The east side of the university is not considered safe while the West side is safe and residential.

Dislikes (Value for money): Like every other school, there's significant scope for improvement in the MBA programme of the Ohio State University - Fisher College of Business. The college's lack of investment in student success is evident in its internal politics and bureaucratic hurdles, which hinder progress. The system is set to favour the few and there's a noticeable bias towards the Midwest, neglecting global perspectives. The programme's diversity is limited to local Ohio students or veterans, along with a few Indian and Nigerian students, highlighting a lack of inclusive culture and management of diversity.

Ohio State University- it's pretty great

Tips: It's super easy for international students to get used to the new climate, thanks to a lot of international organisations for students from other countries. Scholarships are plenty, and working on a project as a master's student can help you in getting a GRA, waiving your tuition for 1-2 semesters.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Extremely good with teaching new concepts, patient with students and understanding of our situation/difficulties. It's a paradigm shift in the professor-student relationship when compared to the hierarchical nature of professor-student relationships in India. You can approach your professors if you have any questions/advice regarding the course. They are usually extremely friendly and understanding.

Dislikes (Internships): Extremely hard for international students to get internships for the summer. This could be due to the economic downturn in the summer during my specific course, but I did notice that a lot of students were finding it hard to get into an internship for the summer.

Fun loving university experience.

Tips: If you are enrolling in this college, it's important to grasp the cultural and academic environment. Be ready for a possible change in culture when coming to the USA. Take time to research scholarships, understand eligibility criteria, and apply for financial aid to help with your studies. Getting a scholarship will help you a lot and I guess many graduates can help you regarding the info you need. You will face some problems in start but you will get comfortable after some time. The university is great and fun loving.
