Masters in Computer Science - Batch of 2026

4.0

Rigorous learning with excellent career opportunities.

Tips: Students should be prepared for a rigorous academic environment, especially in technical programs. It's also helpful to start networking and go to career events and seek research or internship opportunities rather than waiting for them.

Likes (Internships): There are good opportunities available but the process is very competitive. There is support from career services and faculty and much of the networking and again that needs to be driven personally.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a few restraints that offer similar food cuisine and but in the locality, there are mostly American fast- casual restaurants, a few Asian Chinese, Thai and Indian places and some Mexican options.

4.7

UMN offers great connections and assistance with the industry in helping land internships.

Tips: Not being mentally prepared to face or embrace the culture and weather changes can be detrimental, but overall, it's a great university to study at. Scholarships are available, offered based on the profile and kind of degree. Mostly PhDs get plenty of funding through research assistantships or teaching assistantships. The University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, is a great place to study.

Likes (Student Life): Absolutely beautiful campus, with tunnels to use for commuting during hard, tough winters. Heated rooms make winter survival enjoyable. A lot of student groups, especially Indian student groups, hold events so often that it feels like home to celebrate fests like Holi, Ram Janmastami, etc. I spend time in the library, which feels like it's straight out of Hogwarts, with high ceilings and beautiful roof work.

Dislikes (Internships): UMN offers great portals called Handshake/careers to either apply to off-campus internships or on-campus research positions in the field of study. Professors have great connections with the industry and offer great assistance both in helping land internships and offering referrals directly. UMN has a career centre that helps with resume editing and workshops to sharpen communication skills and enhance speaking abilities, and the available internships are definitely relevant.

MS in Data Science - Batch of 2027

University of Minnesota is a bit challenging yet it's rewarding.

Tips: Before joining the University of Minnesota, students should be prepared for a rigorous academic course load and cold weather. But the professors and research opportunities more than make up for it. I love the professors and the specialised research. I didn't initially get a scholarship, but there are a lot of opportunities to work as a research assistant. This would allow your tuition to be waived off, and you will get paid well, somewhere ranging between 25-30 dollars.

The campus of the University of Minnesota focuses a lot on the safety parameters.

Tips: I am absolutely in love with the UoMinn. I am an international student as well, so I can understand how they feel moving to a totally new country. The campus of the University of Minnesota focuses a lot on the safety parameters. Apart from campus security, there are many facilities where one can avail a free cab service if they are travelling anywhere in MN at night. Also, if one feels lonely, they can get themselves a walking companion, who will assist them in reaching their destination.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't personally wish to immigrate to the US after completing my master's degree, but I know plenty of other students who have had their degrees in CS and Elec engineering and stayed back in the US. They are doing pretty well there, so I think there are plenty of opportunities if that's something you want to do.

BS in Agricultural Education - Batch of 2022

Surprising academic challenges and unexpected personal growth.

Tips: Life in the United States is better if you have your own transportation, like a car or a bike. Many things are different here than in India, starting with driving on the left. But the biggest difference is that the only language spoken here is English. The education system here is uncorrupted, and only intelligence, brilliance, and consistency survive here. The faculty are highly talented and experts in their field and you can connect with them by mail. Try to connect with alumni and ask them about the courses and university to get a wide understanding.

Cold place but warm and gentle people.

Tips: There are a few things that I had to get used to but it is nothing that I couldn't do. I got used to the people, culture, weather, and so on in no time. I did not apply for any scholarships. I am very much satisfied with the university and its people, they are nice, warm, and welcoming.

Likes (Indian Food): I prefer cooking for myself and there is nothing I couldn't find, there are Indian stores about 15 mins via a bus from campus. There are also several Indian restaurants a few kilometres away as well. There are a lot of different restaurants all over and around the campus as well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration in the US has a long queue if you are an Indian. It is totally possible to extend your visa indefinitely once you apply for a green card, but it is by no means a citizenship until you get your green card. I would love to have a permanent residence here, it is a fun place.
