Insights of University of Dayton.
Tips: From my thoughts and views, students must be sportive and consistent, also confident about their course knowledge, and moreover, they have a basic idea about the coursework. I availed a merit scholarship, and I got an allowance of 2K dollars. Completely supportive environment for knowledge seekers.
Likes (Indian Food): Most of the time, I will spend time in the library because there will be positive vibes that make me concentrate more, and I also used to spend more time on my college assignments and problem solving. Cultural and tech concerts, and I participate more often in tech concerts.
Dislikes (Part time work): In our department, faculty will be friendly and continuously support students' ideas. Methodology for teaching is very clear and a strong format that starts from concept-wise with real world examples and that leads to practical exposure. Treat everyone equally and have no diversity of nationality.

Dayton has no bias among citizens and F1 students. Overall, friendly environment.
Tips: Well, there are certain things that I would like to point out before joining Dayton university. 1) Firstly, ensure that you have already paid for accommodation so that you will not worry about living. 2) Make sure that you are paying your fee before as that will be a lot easier for you to explore all other things.
Likes (Public transportation): Dayton has mainly provided free transportation for students in campus area. We need to wait at the stop for 15 min for the bus. There is a special Fyler bus that works the whole week. Also, there is an RTA that provides free transportation all over Dayton on weekends. This is one of the most important and nice things that Dayton provides.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Dayton university is a small city with few Indian restaurants near the campus with an excellent taste like my home country. Not only that, the taste of some American dishes like chicken is an exception with all the spices that we want and something we can regularly have. Even more, the canes restaurant are more popular than KFC and all other famous cafes.

It is an excellent university.
Tips: Be careful while opting for counseling service providers, sometimes the bill is not transparent and has many hidden charges which are resolved later on when checked directly with college staff. College's most recommended professors are in Computer Science and Cybersecurity, Machine Learning, pattern recognition, safety and security, robotics.
