Look out for accommodation and part-time as soon as you land.
Tips: I went through all the available universities according to my English proficiency test and my personal travel ability and living accommodations before picking the University of Virginia. It’s important to do this as your choice should depend on these factors as well as your reasons. The faculty is highly approachable, and the classes are fun and interactive. We have plenty of on-campus activities and events. Try to participate and build connections.

The university helped me find a path to grow myself.
Tips: Students should know that the college believes in a more holistic and all-rounder form of learning as opposed to sticking to a very conventional form of pedagogy. Owing to this, you will experience a very multidimensional environment where you will get the opportunity to explore and experiment as much as you can. The university also provides lots of events and activities so make sure to participate and explore yourself.

Good PhD prospects and research opportunities.
Tips: If a student is planning to do a PhD, I would definitely recommend my school because there are a lot of resourceful professors and they have won various NSF awards. They can be really helpful and can be a great guide. The courses are well structured and the professors are friendly. I just felt like south Indian graduate student enrollment is really less compared to schools on the West Coast. Overall it's a good place to study. I am not sure about the scholarship for Masters but if you are working on research, you will definitely get a scholarship.

Be true to yourself and never give up.
Tips: It is a culture shock so I encourage you to join clubs with people who have similar interests as you. Being with other people will help your time there and you can push each other better to do your very best. Sometimes it can get hard because you might feel like a minority but everyone is very friendly and will help you if you ask. Also, go to career fairs. If you don’t get a job ready for you 3 months before graduation then you did college wrong.
Likes (Part time work): I had a part-time job. I applied on the UVa website for part-time work. It was a great experience. It was nice to work with other college students and have an idea of what working is like in general. My boss was very open-minded with me and I was able to adjust my hours whenever was convenient for me.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): They have many opportunities but you need to be actively looking. Always ask professors for part-time work or if there are teaching assistant positions available. Don’t give up when one says no. It can be hard when you don’t see jobs opening but every day is a new day. so keep looking.
