WSU for smooth transition, good opportunities and cold weather.

Tips: Before coming to WSU, it really helps to know about the housing options because there are plenty and comparing them is important. Most decent places range from $450-$600 per month. The peer-mentor programme here is super helpful and gives you clarity about the university, part-time jobs and settling into Pullman. There exist multiple student clubs which you can join and also an International Student Centre ISC which is a nice hangout place for international students, where you can build community and also gain guidance. The cultural shift is definitely big since you are entering a new country, but WSU's diversity makes the transition much easier, and you never feel out of place for long. There are scholarships, but the most realistic option for many students is trying for TA positions, which help financially and add experience. I am very satisfied with the university, the MS-CS course, and the experience of being in the US, and I would strongly recommend WSU to anyone who enjoys a quiet college town and doesn't mind the cold weather.

Likes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs at WSU Pullman are actually pretty easy to find. The university uses Handshake, where you'll see openings in different departments, and even if you don't get one of those immediately, the on-campus dining halls are almost always hiring student workers or custodians. We are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week as per our student visa restrictions and we get sick leave hours, which is nice. The average pay ranges from $15-$20 per hour, depending on the department. If you are a masters student, you usually have just one or two classes a day, so managing part-time work alongside is very doable. If you are an undergraduate, you may have more classes, but there are students who manage part-time work flexibly.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are only a couple of Indian restaurants nearby, Mela (Bangladesh) and Karma (Indian). While they are nice for occasional outings, they are pretty expensive for students and the taste doesn't always feel worth the price. Most of us prefer cooking at home because it is more affordable and honestly more satisfying. You can find basic Indian groceries at Walmart, and if you need more authentic items, Taj Groceries in Moscow which is just a 15-minute drive and has good selection. Food isn't a big problem but definitely requires some adjustment and planning.

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.

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.

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.

WSU Pullman
Highlights

The non-thesis Master of Science Coordinated Program in Dietetics, Nutrition, and Exercise Physiology (MS CPD), is a coordinated program (didactic coursework and clinical rotations are conducted simultaneously) in dietetics with an exercise emphasis.
Successful completion of this MS program prepares students to test for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential.
Since the emphasis area of the graduate dietetics program is exercise, some students may be required to take undergraduate nutrition and/or exercise physiology courses that prepares them to be dual credentialed as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a Certified Exercise Physiologist through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).
