Life at UAB and their academic rules.

Tips: The University has a very strict Academic Integrity Code which means they have very strict plagiarism checks. The assignments are lengthy and they need to put in a genuine effort to get away with plagiarism. They have a 3 strike system. Even a 30-40% plagiarism you get a strike. The professors are getting very strict.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): There are a lot of options for students to find an accommodation. The university has an official WhatsApp group where students post about available accommodation and they can find them really quick. They are reliable sources and offer accommodation with a wide budget range.

Dislikes (Safety): Birmingham, Alabama is not very safe for international students. There are instances of shooting in the campus surroundings. There are a lot of people who might trouble you. Life around campus is better because the UAB Police is everywhere and they take good care.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Alabama at Birmingham

This university is good, as a mechanical student.

Tips: Studies and student life is very good at this university, but from time to time submission for assignments is necessary and we have a strict academic integrity code. The education is good and worth for money, we can enjoy our life here and at the same time, we have our own things to do in our studies.

Likes (Student Life): Here for students we have all the necessary facilities. As an international student, I have the freedom to utilize everything. Part times are not that much good because we have a lot of international students here so we cannot get jobs easily.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I am not planning to settle here. I will finish my master's and will do a job in India. I have a plan of finishing my master's and with my master's degree I need to earn a job in the top mechanical firm and need to lead my life with my parents in my own country. That's what I need in my future.

Do not expect any fee waiver and very less scholarships

Tips: We cannot expect any scholarships or fee waivers even if we get admitted to on campus jobs. The students have to pay the full fee on their own. Whereas in other colleges they will reduce a certain amount of fee if they are serving the college in any way.
