Opportunities here are very rare we got to grab them with both hands.

Tips: Cultural shift depends on what kind of person you are; some start adapting to this culture, and a few might need time. I have been offered the Bauer Excellence Scholarship from UH Bauer. It is around $5000, and it makes you eligible for in-state tuition fees, which is 50% of your actual fee.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is too good; you'll explore a lot. The university itself is a great place to hang out. They do have a lot of student clubs, but you'll barely find time to be in them as you will end up spending most of your student life in part-time jobs. But you can explore a lot.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships in the US are highly competitive and significantly tougher to secure compared to those in India. With thousands of qualified candidates around the world applying for a limited number of positions, the selection process is often rigorous.

It’s a good university. Professors are really nice and helpful.

Tips: If you’re a student attending the University of Houston, I highly recommend that you attend the next career fair. The University of Houston is a good university for graduate students. It hosts many events on its campus, and you can make a lot of connections and network with the right people. The professors I’ve had are reliable and easy to talk to. They understand your concerns and help you get through it. They’re friendly and knowledgeable. Love the resources and help I can find at the university. Surely, make connections and network as much as possible. It's a good experience as a graduate student at the University of Houston. There are multiple events that take place, and the campus is a great place, too. There are multiple clubs to join and be a part of. There's so much one can learn and grow. Be a part of the team and network as much as you can.

Go for UoH main campus for quality education and college life.

Tips: Students should educate themselves on the various courses and the part-time positions available. I personally did not avail any scholarships, but there are numerous scholarships to qualify for. The coursework is highly satisfactory, and there is qualified faculty. The quality of education and facilities meets the requirements. The faculty come from varied backgrounds, ranging from Energy, IT, to Food, Service Industries. The experience is worth the fee as it allows individuals to explore personal and professional experiences from a new perspective.

Dislikes (Internships): If you can attend the mixers, internship chances are very high. Though nothing is guaranteed, the chances increase with your participation. The internships will be relevant to your field of study if you target the specific batch of organisations that are of interest to you.

The university is very warm and welcoming to international students.

Tips: It took time for me to adjust because it has been a huge transition for me, but I was helped out by the various events organised by my college for international students. The faculty are very understanding and helpful as well. It was a great way to meet and connect with each other. Plus, I got an on-campus job that pays for my monthly expenses.
