The university is good so take your time to explore.
Tips: My time here has been enriching both personally as well as academically as the university offers a lot of resources for its students, especially international students. The Indian Student Association is also particularly helpful and will help you feel a sense of familiarity as well. The faculty is very understanding, and helpful and has industry experience. There are lots of events, seminars and activities to participate in and build connections.

Better jobs and clean environment
Tips: I think students should learn to manage their time and schedule if they want to work part time as well as attend the college. The food situation is good on campus but they should always bring their own food just in case the food in college isn't available.
Likes (Part time work): There are a lot of jobs near the college which will help with a passive income. It's very easy to work part-time but on the other hand the college schedule is very tight so I have to manage the time accordingly. But, the jobs give a fare income which is very helpful.
Dislikes (Student Life): I gave it a low rating because sometimes there is just too much stress between your part time job and college work. Its hard to handle both of them at the same time, so I have to work my way according to time. The schedule is very tight and hard to manage at times.
