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...

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...

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...

Best university for Computer science.

Tips: Before joining students should know about the academic programs the university offers, and campus culture. They should know about location, cost of living, financial aid the university provides, research opportunities, university accreditation, housing options and lastly about extracurricular activities. And talking of my journey, I haven't experienced any culture shift since coming to the university. I am fully satisfied with the University and the course I chose.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Accessibility of faculty depends on the individual faculty sometimes faculty members are easily approachable and sometimes we need to connect to them via email or online meeting. Teaching methodology of faculty members are very unique as every faculty members are expert and knowledgeable in their field so they sometimes give students group or individual projects to work on, research opportunities are provided, and mentorship and access to different resources are given. Faculty members from diffe...

Hard course with no money, too many assignments

Tips: The course is time-consuming. The job market in the US is good except for the recession, for stem, there is a lot of money. Except for IVY colleges, you gotta network on LinkedIn a lot, like A LOT. The coursework depends more on projects and homework and less on exams.

Likes (Public transportation): College has its own commute + state commute is good. Also, there is a night transportation service by UMD. US is known for shitty transport. Maryland especially College Park, has decent transport. in half an hour you can reach D...
