Strong internship support with room for improvement.

Tips: The campus is very good, and it has a strong academic environment. The university is research-focused. The support for internships is good, but there is definitely room for improvement in that area. This is a good school, and in this area, I think it's the best. The career fairs and job fairs provide a good way to find internships, and the school provides a lot of support. It's cool that Career Connect can help students find good internships and help students with their resumes.

It has been a great learning process. The campus is diverse and vibrant.

Tips: I have grown a lot as an individual and become much more self-reliant than I could have ever imagined after coming here. The people have been kind and the campus has some scenic views to enjoy as well. The weather is quite perfect if you are an outdoorsy individual, and there are regular celebrations for Indian students organised by the international student community such as for Diwali, Holi, etc. Faculty are highly qualified and understanding. The classes are fun, interactive, and engaging. Overall, I have had a great experience studying here so far.

Great place to explore and find your potential.

Tips: I came here with a number of expectations and the university did not disappoint. The community abroad is friendly, inclusive, yet individualistic, so it's important that you learn how to respect boundaries while also involving yourself in activities and sports that would give you a real sense of the college spirit. The engineering programs have some renewed faculty, and students are encouraged to think out of the box and participate as much as they can. Also, make sure to build some connections as it will significantly help you to grow professionally. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course, university and the country.
