Master of Science in Management Information Systems - Batch of 2025
5
A home for growth and learning.
Tips: The transition was smooth but came with a cultural shift, more independence and diversity. I received a merit-based scholarship through academic performance, which covered part of my tuition. I spend my day attending classes, working on group projects, and hanging out with friends. I enjoy the vibrant campus life the most. Our college hosts fests, workshops and cultural events regularly. I'm active in clubs like dance, debate and entrepreneurship.
Dislikes (Safety): The faculty in our college is highly approachable and supportive often going beyond scheduled office hours to assist students with academic and career related concerns. Their mentorship creates a welcoming and collaborative and pleasant atmosphere.

4.5
Empowered by innovation and mostly practical learning.
Tips: My Friends helped me with the transition and the loneliness. There was definitely a cultural shock, but it was manageable and easy going. People here are really kind, helpful, and friendly. I didn't get any scholarship. Pretty good.
Likes (Part time work): We have various departments for on-campus jobs. The pay and flexibility are really good. Off-campus, we don't have many opportunities. Working on campus and along with our academics is highly manageable. It is really flexible, and the university does not give you work hours during your classes. The average pay at our university is $16 per hour.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Here we have American, Mexican, Chinese, and three Indian restaurants. Prices are reasonable. I really find it difficult to find vegetarian cuisine, but we have vegan options as well. Just be careful while ordering the food. I prefer both, but I prefer cooking mostly.

Good university, easy and engaging curriculum and a vibrant student life.
Tips: There are different GA/GPSI positions available. Students should apply with their application. Students should also apply directly to the college site. The GRE is not required. Courses are not hard. Students have full flexibility in choosing the courses that interest them. The curriculum in computer science and data analytics is not tough and engaging. All of this makes this university pretty inexpensive and excellent to pursue a degree.

The multicultural environment makes it easy to integrate and supports student's cultural heritage.
Tips: Before joining UIS, students should know it offers a calm and focused learning environment with small class sizes and accessible faculty. The transition was smooth, though I experienced some cultural shift adapting to the quieter lifestyle and local communication style. I didn't receive a scholarship, but the tuition and living cost are relatively affordable.
Likes (Value for money): Numbers of student organisations and clubs are there for different activities, a multicultural environment and support make each student's life easier, also celebrate every festival, and enjoying weekends and parties are usual and refreshing activities for students.
Dislikes (Part time work): The University of Illinois Springfield has one of the best faculty members in the world. The state of Illinois and the surrounding area encourage students to grow in their careers and are always willing to help each other. The faculty members are always available to assist with any questions or career guidance.

Student life in authentic America's rural town with exceptional quality of education.
Tips: I got an internship on campus. However, the place I live is a country and a village, which means there is no nightlife or urban culture in the town. Most students might not like that. Overall, I'm satisfied with my university, course and country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): It is a small campus with so high professor-to-student ratio which highly helps in the quality of interaction between students and faculty. The faculty is very diverse from various countries, which helps the students to be confident in approaching the faculty.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are less and not great options for food from my country of origin. However, there is some great food from various other countries and local food to explore. We also have good supermarkets for all country food ingredients to make your comfort food in your room with your international friends.

Supportive faculty with great learning and growth opportunities.
Tips: Students should know that the college offers a supportive environment with a strong academic focus, but it requires consistent effort and time management. I experienced a cultural shift in terms of teaching methods and peer interactions, but gradually adapted.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty members are very approachable. We can easily contact them, and they are very friendly to discuss doubts. They also encourage us to participate in events and activities held on campus.
