A practical, career-focused program with strong support and opportunities.
Tips: UNCC offers a flexible curriculum with strong technical courses. Be prepared for hands-on projects, presentations, and teamwork. The campus has good labs, software access, and student resources. Charlotte has many job opportunities in the tech and finance sectors. Start early on coding, resume building, and networking. Transition was challenging initially due to independence and self-learning. Cultural shift included being punctual, direct communication, and class participation. Group projects often include diverse peers, which helps in learning. You'll learn life skills like cooking, budgeting, and time management. Joining student groups helps ease homesickness and build community. I got a Graduate Assistantship after my first semester. It covered part of the tuition and gave a monthly stipend of ~$800. I applied early and had a strong resume and good GPA. Networking with professors also helped me secure the role. Some scholarships offer in-state tuition waivers, saving more costs. Overall, I'm satisfied with UNCC's faculty, course quality, and campus support. The MSIT programme is industry-relevant and offers useful electives. Studying in the US brings great exposure and job prospects. Career fairs and internships help prepare for full-time roles. Despite some challenges, the experience is rewarding and valuable.

Its a great place for academic and to learn about various cultures.
Tips: The university does not provide any scholarships. I heard very rarely about someone getting a scholarship. Even if you get any Teaching/Research Assistantships also, compared with most of the universities you will not get any fee waiver. The faculty are very helpful and you can reach out to them anytime. The seniors are really friendly and host many events for us. I am overall satisfied with the university because of its wide variety of opportunities to learn.

4.1
A cozy cultural haven with room to grow.
Tips: Learning to live independent is something that Masters teaches you. It is experienced that cultural differences may rise while relating to a new area. However, given the current trend in Indian population growth, this place is our native. Honestly, a lot of events are celebrated with the same grandeur as in India. There aren't many scholarships offered by UNCC, and I hardly ever saw anyone get one. I think UNCC is an excellent place to study and live, with a well-run curriculum and decent living expenses. When compared to other states, Charlotte's weather is actually quite pleasant.
Likes (Public transportation): There are public bus stops on campus as well as two light rail station that provide convenient access to the city. Buses are available throughout the campus for travel between locations. Additionally, all public transit, including the light rail and public buses, is free for students with a UNCC ID.
Dislikes (Internships): There are really few opportunities to get internships because of the current state of the market. Although there are a lot of companies attending the career fair, as of right now, none of them are interested in sponsoring visas. Thus, it's really hard to find an internship these days.

Wonderful University campus.
Tips: This university gives importance to both academics and recreational activities. There are tons of events organized almost every day for recreational purposes and the university has a huge campus. Students are mostly friendly in the campus. After graduation we have great opportunities ahead.

Very few companies sponsor F1 visas, making it difficult to find a job.
Tips: I haven't noticed a significant cultural shift, as there are many Indians here, and you'll be surrounded by them. I also wasn't satisfied with the university because I didn't have a scholarship, and they don't offer them.
Likes (Indian Food): I live in Charlotte, and there are many Indian restaurants and food trucks nearby. The prices are affordable. For example, biryani costs $12, and dosa costs 9. As a South Indian, I've tried all the South Indian restaurants, and they're good. I feel the restaurants here are more South Indian in style, but I prefer both.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies sponsor F1 visas, making it difficult to find a job. There are job opportunities across all domains, particularly in Computer Science. Big tech companies, such as Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft, often provide sponsorships.
