Vibrant and engaging student life.
Tips: There is definitely a cultural shift that you'll experience especially if you are like me and have only lived in India your entire life. It takes some time getting used to but it's not all that difficult. Scholarships are usually awarded by the university itself during admission. I am satisfied with the university and the course.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty at UW Madison are very friendly and approachable. They have office hours during which they entertain any questions wrt projects or the subject itself. Faculty in my department especially ensure that we answer live quizzes during class hours ourselves. Nationality wise, UW Madison has 22% of its total faculty consisting of various racial/ethnic groups.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies in Madison known for hiring large numbers are Epic Systems, Fetch and other tech, engineering and healthcare firms. These major players used to sponsor visas but that trend has reduced over the last few years. Packages range from 70,000 to 1,50,00 for software or IT roles.

Great university with unique events and great staff.
Tips: There was a cultural shift for sure. It is handy to know seniors or friends who are already here to help settle in. I did not avail of any scholarships. The faculty is very approachable and always ready to discuss any topic with you and clear your doubts. What I found unique was the use of research papers that involve state-of-the-art technologies rather than traditional old textbooks. The faculty is very diverse, as are the students. I am extremely satisfied with my college as it is in the top five in the country for my course of ECE.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are available on campus, but most require prior experience. I applied for jobs like cashier or cafe team member and got rejected. If you are willing to be a culinary assistant or dishwasher, it can be easier to get a job. Part-time work is according to your class schedule, and the pay varies from 15 to 20 dollars an hour.

Great for academic growth.
Tips: University life here is full of things to look forward to and very academically oriented. Great for research and lab work if you're interested in that path. A lot of courses require strong fundamentals so it's easy to get intimidated from the first semester itself but try not to burn out. Peers are helpful and collaboration has been beneficial for me.

The most student friendly campus
Tips: Try to understand how to manage your finances after coming here. Try to use available benefits from offers and other things to save some money. Also, make as many friends as you can after coming here because they are going to be your family away from home. That's all I can think of.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Great helpful faculty in terms of guiding about academics, future goals, placements, research etc. They have office hours where you can personally talk to them about the problems you are facing and they will try their best to solve them or at least guide you in that direction.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook myself. There are good restaurants around but very few Indian restaurants. And the Indian restaurants aren't exactly catering to 'actual Indian' needs of cuisines. Americanised version a little. Otherwise, the options of different cuisines are ample.

Indian population is less. Good network.
Tips: A lot of loneliness here, be mentally prepared. I saw a major cultural shift. Overall very much satisfied with my university, course and country. It is very different from India, you will definitely miss everything about India but everything has its pros & cons.
Likes (Internships): The college has a good reputation, you will find an alumni in almost every other company. Alumni connect is not that great here but you can always make connections on LinkedIn from people from your college. There are a few career fairs but they do not really sponsor. But it is a good opportunity to network.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Lack of Indians on campus due to which lack of Indian spices, food and stores. You will have to rely on Walmart or target or some other grocery place. A few Indian restaurants would be Amber, Maharani but the food is not very cheap. I cook myself.

The university is fun, friendly and has a lot of activities on campus.
Tips: I have transitioned well to this university and city. I did not expect a huge cultural shift. There is an excellent recreational activities and amazing infrastructure. The thing I enjoy the most about my college is the campus. I go to different restaurants, walk near the lake to classes, and use the infrastructure for recreational activities. My course is great and relevant, and I recommend it to any aspiring student. I am very satisfied with the university.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I am Indian and I like Indian food. However, the Indian food at the university is not good. The food is bland and lacks flavour. Also, the portions are small. Anywhere you can get good Indian food is really expensive, especially for students.
