Networking is important for a good university experience
Tips: The most important thing is to make sure to grasp the academic setting in a foreign country. Get ready for a change in culture too. Reach out to the student support services early on, they can really help ease this transition. I'm in a program with high demand in the industry, so it's crucial to pick a course wisely. Also, try connecting with fellow students it makes learning more enjoyable and helps you understand things better. It is important to do a lot of research about the university and course before enrolling for a university.

Likes (Public transportation): A rating of 5 for public transportation includes that the university is well connected to the city, with convenient and affordable options. The campus enjoys excellent accessibility through various modes of transportation, ensuring frequent and sufficient connectivity to different areas of Albany.
Dislikes (Internships): Due to sufficient co-op criteria and underline guidelines for securing internships. Clear criteria and support are crucial for students seeking practical work experience. A more structured approach and enhanced support mechanisms could significantly improve the internship experience.

Supportive environment with strong academic focus and affordable.
Tips: Students should be aware of the strong academic support, experienced faculty, and diverse opportunities available. However, they should also prepare for a rigorous workload, actively utilise campus resources, and engage in networking to fully benefit from their time here.
Likes (Public transportation): It is reliable, free, well-connected, and efficient, offering easy access to major areas, reducing the need for a personal vehicle, and supporting sustainable urban mobility. Buses run frequently until midnight and start early in the morning.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Limited opportunities exist in my field, along with visa restrictions and unclear pathways to long-term employment after graduation, making it less favourable compared to other countries. As a current student, I lack clarity on this matter.
