Master of Science in Information Systems - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Texas at Arlington

A globally enriching and academically supportive university experience.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that the university offers a highly supportive academic environment with access to excellent resources, skilled faculty, and a diverse student community. Time management and active participation in both academics and extracurricular activities are key to making the most of the experience. It's important to be open to collaboration and cultural exchange, as the campus is very international and interactive.

Likes (Value for money): The campus offers a vibrant, inclusive, and engaging environment. My day typically starts with interactive lectures, followed by group study sessions, club activities, or simply relaxing in common areas with friends. What I enjoy most is the balance between academics and extracurricular life. The university regularly hosts cultural fests, technical symposiums, workshops, and networking events, ensuring there's always something exciting happening. I actively participate in events related to robotics and teach innovation. Many student-led clubs, such as the AI & Robotics Club, the Debate Society, the Photography Club, and the Entrepreneurship Cell, foster creativity, leadership, and collaboration among students.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The professors in my department are not only well-qualified and knowledgeable, but also extremely approachable and supportive. They encourage open discussions, make complex topics easy to understand, and are always available during office hours or via email for doubts or academic guidance. What stands out in their teaching methodology is the strong focus on practical learning through case studies, real-time problem solving, and interactive sessions. The faculty also adopts modern tools like digital simulations, flipped classrooms, and blended learning techniques. Moreover, the department is enriched by a diverse teaching staff from various nationalities, bringing a wide range of global perspectives to the learning environment.

Fun campus, amazing courses, great faculty, moderately expensive, inclusive and diverse environment.

Tips: It's a completely new experience as things here are very different from how it was back in India. The luxuries and comfort are compromises but it also helps in building a stronger sense of independence and responsibility. The washrooms here are totally water-free, you only find hand-wash basis with water but other than that you have to carry a water bottle with you or succumb to using issues. But other than that there are not much of cultural shifts that one might notice on the surface level and one can easily get going with the culture here. I am quite satisfied with the university and course that I've selected since I found some amazing professors who teach most professionally yet make sure that everyone understands what they teach. I would 100% recommend my course to anyone from a Math or Computer Science background.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members at UTA are great. They are well experienced in their field of study and have an amazing teaching style which makes it easy for students of any kind to understand. They have a more practical approach towards teaching rather than the effective traditional theoretical methods. Faculty members are easily approachable in their offices and can also be easily contacted via emails and Microsoft Teams. They give prompt replies and are available to help whenever needed.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The city of Arlington does not have any public transportation. While the university has its own shuttle service called Mav Move which is free for the students, computing within the city is a little hassle as Uber and Lyft are quite expensive. There are cheaper options compared to Uber and Lyft like 'Arlington Transportation by Via' which is limited only to the city of Arlington, student rideshare is the most commonly opted medium of transport by students for integrity transportation.

3.2

All rounder college with great opportunities.

Tips: Students should know that UTA offers a good academic environment with a strong focus on research and practical learning; however, they should be prepared to take initiative, manage their time effectively and utilise campus resources proactively. The campus is diverse, but academic expectations are high. The faculty at UTA is generally well qualified, knowledgeable and experienced in their respective field. Most professors demonstrate a strong command of the subject matter and are committed to student learning. However, there is still room for improvement in areas such as real-world application, interactive learning or consistent teaching quality across all courses.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The USA does offer clear pathways to permanent immigration, but the process can be long, competitive, and uncertain. There are strict quotas and legal challenges involved, especially for international students who want to stay after graduation. The college provided some support, but navigating immigration options can still be complex and stressful.

UTA: Nurturing success in a diverse environment.

Tips: Research UTA's academic programs, student community and support systems before enrolling. There were clear cultural differences at 1st it was difficult for me but now I'm used to it. UTA also has merit-based scholarships you can apply online and at the office as well. Overall, I'm satisfied with the university.

Thriving at UTA : A satisfying journey.

Tips: Before joining UTA, students should research its academic programs and campus environment. For me, moving to UTA was easy and I got some good friends. UTA offers scholarships based on academic records and unfortunately, I didn't receive any scholarship. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with UTA and UTA offers excellent academic programs and has good faculty.

Likes (Indian Food): I rated 4 for the availability of food options from my country of origin there are many Indian restaurants in the city ranging prices of budget-friendly to upscale dining. Not only Indian you also find Mexican, Chinese, Italian, and many other cuisines. I enjoy eating out and also cooking at home.

Dislikes (Public transportation): I rated 4 because UTA's campus has convenient access to various modes of transportation including nearby bus stops. Public transportation is affordable and reliable, connecting the studies to different parts of the city, and enhancing convenience and accessibility.
