The economic crisis and policy changes concerning immigration have made living more challenging.
Tips: The culture here is both inclusive and accepting. You will be a part of some of the most culturally rich environments, with clubs and societies ranging from dramatics to artificial intelligence to sports and so much more. I was given a merit-based scholarship that reduced my tuition by 8,500, which has been helpful. Since this is a big campus, getting a bike would really save time.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Living in the United States these days has become a very far-fetched idea. The economic crisis and policy changes concerning immigration have made living here more challenging. It is even more difficult because student visas have been revoked in some cases.

Beautiful campus with good people and a diverse campus.
Tips: The University of California at Davis is a very welcoming and student-friendly environment. The campus is huge, so you might want to start mapping out your classrooms and labs as soon as you can. Biking is recommended to make getting through campus easier. Be sure to check out and enroll in some of the many available student organizations. These organizations will give you a sense of community and look good on any future applications. Try to interact with the locals and explore the city. Overall, I am satisfied with the course and the country.

Very fulfilling experience with highly knowledgeable faculty.
Tips: I would recommend coming to the US for your postgraduate programs instead of your undergraduate studies. You will get a higher return on your investment, and you will save money. If you are planning on staying off-campus, find a local resident to be your guarantor. This will help you in several legal and financial aspects. Besides, there are student bodies that will look out for you in case you have difficulties adjusting. There are many different student groups here that are designed to appeal to lots of students' interests. Look around and see what piques yours, and get involved. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

There are lots of opportunity available to learn and grow.
Tips: The campus is beautiful and there is a lot of space to study or unwind especially outdoors. If you are passionate about research and experimenting, then this would be a right fit for you as here students are encouraged to explore their own niche and ideas. Finally, one of the biggest assets of studying here would be its reputation as a teaching hub and the windows of opportunities present.
Likes (Indian Food): I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of Indian restaurants within the vicinity and how popular the cuisine is here. You will never feel out of place and there are specific restaurants for different states such as South Indian, Gujarat, etc. Most of them are pretty reasonable and the Indian grocery stores are quite popular as well.
