CU Boulder - A magical place to be for Electrical Engineering students.

Tips: Be prepared for very cold weather conditions, especially from November to March. All the courses are assignment oriented and hands on and hence require a lot of time and effort. Come prepared with basics about your major. They expect us to know the basics and not completely start from scratch.

Likes (Safety): Boulder is a very safe place. The Police and the emergency services are excellent and are on duty 24/7. The crime rate is extremely low. All Engineering students often have to stay back until late at night in the labs/library. I have never faced any issues or seen anyone face any issues. There are also free car rides for all the students from 6 pm until midnight to and from anywhere in Boulder, provided by the university.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Boulder has very limited options for Indian food. Even the ones that are there are not very authentic. Almost all are operated by Nepali people, and the taste is local. To get good and authentic Indian food, you will have to go to Denver, which is 1.5 hours by bus.

CU is the best place to study and get involved.

Tips: This college is student-friendly, which provides a lot of free transportation options, career support for students, and many on-campus opportunities. Additionally, the location is away from busy cities and provides a calm environment for students. However, the college doesn't offer any scholarships for international students.

Likes (Safety): The campus is very safe. There are CCTVs all over the place and only students and faculty members can enter the academic buildings. Moreover, CU provides free cabs in the evening for students to commute between campus and house. Also in general, the people in Boulder are student-friendly and helpful, and I've never encountered any bad experience till now.

Dislikes (Internships): The market is pretty bad and the college can only support up to a point. There are career services available, however, they can barely help you to fix your resume. Also, the college is in Boulder- where there are very less tech companies- adding more burden to hunt jobs.

Make the most out of your college. Have fun, be involved in student groups

Tips: There are lot of international student groups in campus which makes transition easy. I did RA and TA as part of my college and was able to pay a major part of fees from it. The power electronics degree from CU Boulder is one of the best in the world with a key focus on industry standards.

Likes (Safety): Boulder campus is very safe, there are police patrolling 24*7 around the campus. Also there are night cabs provided by the campus which makes commuting easy for students staying back in the library for late-night study and discussions. The police and security are always available on call.

Dislikes (Student Life): Boulder is one of the most beautiful campuses in the US. There are different organizations on campus where you could potentially be part of and participate in various programs. Also, there are different programs organized by the departments. Active participation in the student groups makes you stand out from the crowd.

Great professors and experience.

Tips: I was sceptical at first but the campus and fellow students made me feel way more reassured. Everyone was helpful and there are resources dedicated to international students that one can avail which makes things a bit smoother. Campus is quite safe other than some places outside off campus which we are encouraged to be a bit cautious about after dark. My course is very academic and very research driven and a great path for someone interested in academia or pursuing a doctorate.

Mixed experience and opportunities.

Tips: My experience in university has been very transformative. I have learnt a lot since the very first week here and some have been truly profitable skills. People are very friendly and classes encourage you to embrace your creativity as well. The downside is that employment opportunities are very limited especially in my preferred field if you don't have as much extensive experience.
