Academically engaging.

Tips: I have become more career focused and practical after coming to study here. Life overseas is different from back home but it is also very adaptable. The right people and the environment certainly make a difference and the tech market here is good. The probability of securing a job here is pretty low honesty but OPT here is good.

Good college with room for improvement.

Tips: The campus here is well maintained with good infra and I would say it is safe and secure as well. Course registration is truly a headache and try to spend your first couple of weeks networking with anyone with similar interests or who might be useful, you never know when that can be helpful. I would say I am satisfied but I had higher expectations.

Fruitful for growth and more.

Tips: Things here go beyond the curriculum. Learning is done in various different ways and if you're research oriented, you'll have a lot to do. Grades are spoiled in several different components including assignments, exams, participation and more so if you're lagging in one aspect you can make up in the other. I would say I am decently satisfied here.

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.
