Uw-Madison as a haven for CS.

Tips: One of the best colleges in the country. Very amazing crowd. The city feels dreamy during summers. It also has some amazing faculty and expertise in many courses, which allows you to learn from industry superstars right in college. I did not avail myself of any scholarships, but I know there was a university portal that allowed you to avail yourself of scholarships, and many of my friends were able to avail themselves of it. Nothing too big; it was somewhere between $5k and $15k. Very satisfied w my country and university. The course was maybe a little too liberal arts focused, and I would have liked a more CS-targeted major.

Likes (Internships): 1. There is a lot of guidance available from the student body. It's a university with a huge number of students and alums, which gives a great chance to intimately learn how to prep and apply and also referrals from alums when looking for internships. 2. Yes - all internships are relevant to CS. To be fair, that's the only way it's allowed on an F1 visa in the USA. The internship was a great way to learn industry practices.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I think the chance of permanently setting in the USA has less to do with college and more to do with just getting a company that promptly applies for your visa and ultimately PERM processing. I think my chances with a company that promptly applied for it are still about 60%. I don't think I personally want to permanently immigrate to the USA.

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.

3.1

A positive start to my Computer Science journey at UW-Madison.

Tips: The transition for me was quite smooth and did not face any problems moving into dorms setting up bank accounts or getting a SIM card. I didn't apply for any scholarship. I'm pretty happy with how UW-Madison has been raising up the ranks in Computer Science in the US. I like this course and is a great experience to pursue it at UW-Madison.

Likes (Safety): There's a programme Safewalker that UW-Madison offers its students. This service offers an important safety resource where you could call them and they accompany you on foot from your location to your destination. This service is only available at night from about 7-8 pm to 1-2 am.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The post-study job opportunities at the University of Wisconsin-Madison may not stand out significantly from other leading universities in the US, but the computer science programme still offers a solid pathway for students to secure employment after graduation.

4.2

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.

College is about what you take out of it.

Tips: I've become more independent and mature since coming to this university. I didn't get any scholarships, and there are very few available for international students. The weather is harsh, especially in the winter months, which can be depressing. I'm satisfied with the course, but it hasn't been extraordinary.

Likes (Part time work): I was able to find a part-time job at the University of Wisconsin-Madison before I even got there. The university has a job portal that lists all the available on-campus jobs. The portal is well-maintained and regularly updated with new job postings. The pay is quite good.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The campus job fair and advisors are not very useful in finding jobs and internships. There are hundreds of companies at the job fair, but very few actually hire from the fair. The fairs are only good as an introduction to potential employers.
