It is great to be a Florida Gator.

Univeristy of Florida - Go Gators

Tips: No cultural shift as such, pretty easy to be honest. I had a 1500 scholarship for each semester. They made sure I am comfortable with my studies, internships and other aspects of a Masters degree.

Likes (Internships): I interned at Amazon as a data scientist so I think there are multiple job opportunities available. Also, there are multiple career fairs during each semester so which helps. Also there is an internal career website for Uf students so which helps as well in finding internships and assistantships.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking, though there are multiple Indian restaurants available nearby. Also there were multiple takeaway restaurants with a variety of indian food available lot of indian grocery stores, so it never felt like I was missing out on my home food.

Research oriented university.

Tips: I have liked the culture and my classes since the beginning. The classes are competitive and project intensive depending on your programme. Professors are direct and friendly and people are welcoming. There's a lot of school spirit and the spirit is electric here. Cook your own meals and carpool/share resources if you can to save up. The research opportunities are impressive as well.

The perks and cons of studying at a low cost University like UF.

Tips: Few scholarships / RA ships are available. Largely self funded, but considering the uncertainty, it's a good investment not to go for expensive universities. It ranks good in the Scheme in the country. Lab courses are designed to meet job skills. Networking is largely on your own.

Likes (Safety): Gainesville is pretty safe. RTS buses are functional throughout the day. At night, it is advisable to travel in groups, however, no untoward incident is reported towards students.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships are hard to come by in the current market situation. It's largely dependent on your own network, having a great resume and going to a career fair to build some contacts. For the Scheme, teaching skills in labs are largely helpful in securing internships. The University gives the option to go for a co-op if you secure an internship.

M.S. in Computer Science - Batch of 2027

Offered by University of Florida

Very good faculty and nice environment.

Tips: Excellent ROI, with the lowest tuition nationally, but location wise not a good choice, but if you are from the CS Department, the location should not affect you that much. People from here have gotten into very good companies, so basically it's up to you.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are very good. They come from very reputable universities across the world. Diversity is there in the department, and you'll absolutely love the courses over here, like MS and NLP. Teaching methodology varies from faculty to faculty, but it is great.

Dislikes (Indian Food): It's a university town, so very less Indian food options are available. But still, for other things, you can find many options here. Walmart is the best option for groceries. There are a lot of food chains available in the area. So you won't have difficulty finding the food that you like.
