Steady for growth here.

Tips: I have seen both ups and downs after coming here. The competition has increased and so have its challenges but the quality of education and research work here has also been up to the mark. Professors are involved and understanding so feel free to email them in case you require extra assistance or help. Peers are also motivating and helpful so group projects can teach you a lot.

Good classes and professors.

Tips: I have experienced both ups and downs here but my experience is mostly positive as classes are interesting and the university is well connected. Something that you should know is that it is a very Catholic university and although it is respectful, you should be comfortable with getting used to the idea of their faith being a central aspect here. Professors are helpful with lessons and job prospects are limited with all the new regulations, so make sure you do your research.

Good mentorship here.

Tips: This has been a very special journey for me with innumerable twists and turns already, so I don't really know what else is to be expected. Part time jobs are limited but once you get one, it is easy to maintain it and you won't close it unless you quit. People are friendly and coursework is quite intense as assignments can feel endless at times.

Unexpected experiences but good people.

Tips: Studying here has made me realise that the university is not a typical university and it can be quite intense in more ways than simply academics which of course is emphasised here. Campus is close knit and people are warm which makes it easier to adjust and find friends. I have been learning something new almost every day since I got here.

Life on campus is fun.

Tips: The culture shock isn't massive as there are plenty of Indians and international students and the campus is quite open and accessible as well. Scholarships are awarded for meritorious or need based criteria. Accommodation is also available close enough to campus and even if it's at a distance, transportation is relatively cheap.
