Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2025

Offered by Washington State University

3.7

Highly qualified faculty and great curriculum.

Tips: The class sizes are smaller as compared to some of the other universities, but that really helps in ensuring you have adequate one on one attention as well as space to learn. The weather can be a little unpredictable here, and Indian groceries and food are not as common. A Costco card has saved my life and you will have to learn to cook your own meals, or else it can get really expensive.

Bachelor of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2025

Offered by Washington State University

3.7

Pretty great place to learn.

Tips: I was very unsure at the start, and I thought I would make a call after the first semester. I would say I am very happy that I continued. The coursework is rigorous, and it will take a couple of months to ease into the teaching methodologies and figure out how citations and such work. On landing, you should get a bank account open, and the university will help you with that. Also, make sure your I-20 is sorted as well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Well, the options to actually get some form of citizenship or a green card here are next to impossible, especially in the current scenario. If I did get the option, I would thrive living here, but unfortunately, that is not the case for many who wish to do so.

Thoughtful people and diverse campus.

Tips: I came to study here after my schooling in Mumbai and I was surprised to find out that Pullman is a lot smaller and intimate than I expected. The univeristy is also more peaceful which helps in minimising distractions and allows you to really focus. The faculty is extremely knowledgeable and open minded and office hours has really been an assets for me. Prepare for the winters as they arre brutal here.

BBA in Management Information Systems - Batch of 2027

Offered by Washington State University

Great faculty and vibrant student life.

Tips: Studying here so far has been really intense, but I have also benefited from it. I appreciate how welcoming my peers were at the beginning and the help I got when it came to finding a place to stay before my housing was sorted. There is also a consulting club that I joined, which mainly helps out in case prep for interviews, which you can check out. Overall, I have liked my time here a lot.

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Batch of 2026

Offered by Washington State University

The university is very welcoming and student friendly.

Tips: After settling here in Washington, I would say that the academic curriculum is well-formulated, and it covers pretty much everything essential, and the approach to learning is pretty hands-on as well. You'll learn to recreate a lot of your favourite dishes as well, and don’t hesitate to ask questions in class if you're stuck. It even sets a good impression.
