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 It is even more difficult because student visas have been revoked in some cases.

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.
