A college where you can make friendships, create lifetime memories, and launch a great career.

Tips: I would say in the beginning, students can feel alone here because it's a very big institution. However, soon you will find your group, as there is a lot of diversity here at UTA. I was given a Residential Honours scholarship which was approximately 13,000 dollars annually. Because of this scholarship, I also got the in-state tuition grant which reduced my cost to 18,642 dollars annually. I got this scholarship because of my high SAT score, i.e., 1520 and my strong high school GPA, i.e. 4.0. I feel lucky to get a chance to study here in the USA and at UTA. If you are accepted into UTA, you should definitely come here. No room for doubts.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty of UTA (University of Texas Arlington), I will say, is very approachable. Even if it's a huge institution but you get a lot of support in terms of your academics. You get a TA to whom you can ask any doubts or questions about anything in your course. You can also just casually approach a faculty for research opportunities. Something that is unique in our department is the teaching style. Professors often conduct debates about a specific topic through which students can feel more involved and are able to understand the concept very well. The diversity of the faculty is great. There are teachers from other nationalities as well, i.e., from India, Pakistan, China, etc.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): These days its been very difficult to get an H1b visa which you get after completing your study to work in the USA. The immigration laws have become stricter and it takes a lot of year to get a green card in the USA. I will surely want to settle in the USA if I get a chance.

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.

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.
