There are many scholarships available at UMD.

Tips: Students must be prepared to adapt to culture shock, but they should be able to handle the experience and achieve their goals. There are also many scholarships available at UMD; students should apply for them as much as they can. UMD is a really good college, and it's one of the cheapest. If the cost of tuition is an important factor to you, then I would definitely recommend UMD. The cost for two years is about 45 Lakhs in Indian rupees. Safety and security are okay, but not as good as we might like. An incident of theft occurred in College Park last week, making the safety of students questionable, which then, in turn, puts people in fear because of racial differences. Putting the above incident aside, this is a very good college compared to other colleges.

M.Eng in Robotics - Batch of 2024

4.1

Value for Money: Top ranked public university

Tips: There are a lot of international student programs at the start addressing cultural shifts, mental wellbeing, etc. that can be helpful. Apply for research assistant positions to work in Maryland Robotics Center or The PRG group. Apply for a teaching assistantship, this will give you tuition remission benefits, in addition to the salary.

Likes (Public transportation): The public transport here is well-maintained and clean. It connects the DMV area through the metro and buses are available for integrity transport. The university also provides free transportation buses. Along with on-demand ride-share services for late-night transport.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I am not looking forward to a permanent settlement, so I haven't explored this option. I would not like to permanently immigrate to the country. This is not because of any other reasons. This is just my personal preference. I have no idea why it is important to immigrate.

Good college on a great location and in a great country

Tips: Initially, it was a bit difficult for me because I was a bit homesick but my friends helped me to get over that phase and introduce me to lots of on-campus organizations that used to organize events every other week which kept the students engaged. There was a bit of a cultural shift I experienced, but that was mostly because I was homesick. I did not get any scholarships. I am quite satisfied with the course and university, but a bit dissatisfied with the country because they are very strict on immigration.

Likes (Safety): The safety on campus is very good, there are many cops' vehicles on campus that keep patrolling the campus all the time to make sure that everyone is safe. I have had many good experiences in the city. Once I saw a person struggling to bike on the road, someone saw them struggling and called 911 and the cops showed up within 5 minutes and helped the old man.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are many on-campus part-time jobs available because the campus is really very big which makes it easier for students to find on campus jobs. I myself have worked on multiple on-campus jobs. As per the US law, an international student on F1 visa cannot work on off-campus jobs. The part time jobs are usually after the classes so it's easier to manage them. The average payout is $13.25 per hour.

Excellent college with excellent faculty and excellent campus

Tips: It was not a big transition for me personally because I see a lot of Indian students around me. Plus the Indian food around here is really very good. Additionally, there are many on-campus events throughout the year that keep you engaged. I did not avail any scholarships. I am very much satisfied with the university, course, and country because it is exactly how I thought it would be.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The quality of the faculty is really very good, they are always available to clear your doubts and concerns even after the class is over or even on the weekends. One thing that I find unique about my professor is that they create a story and then teaches us a topic, does not just read from a PPT but creates a story for everything that they teach to make it interesting. There are faculty members from across the world and not just from America.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): If I had to permanently settle, the chances are very less because of the Green Card backlog for Indians. Also, right now, the market is really bad for people who are looking for a permanent settlement option but you can always work on a working visa and continue to stay in the US. If given a chance, I would definitely immigrate to this country regardless of the chances being slim.

One of the best universities in the US

Tips: There weren't many cultural shifts because the university is surrounded by lots of students and the majority of them being Indian students. On top of it, there are a lot of on campus events that keep you engaged so that you don't miss home. I did not avail of any scholarship. I am 100% satisfied with the university because it is one of the top universities in the US, and the course I studied is really in demand right now, plus, the country is really ahead of all the other countries.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent settlement are very slim because the green card takes up to 10 years to be approved which is really long time. There are other methods to stay in the US like staying on a work permit. If given the chance, I would like to permanently settle in this country as this country is a developed country and the wage is really good.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is really very big and is connected by lots of public modes of transport. Shuttle buses are the most commonly used transport by students because they drop you right inside the campus and you can travel the whole campus in a bus. Public transport is free for students so the students don't have to pay anything if they are coming or going from the college.
