Adjustable environment of college for new international students

Tips: So if you are afraid of joining a university where there are many Americans and you feel you cannot adjust to such university, then this will be a good fit for you. Here the percentage of Indian students is good so you can easily adjust. Also maximum faculty for computer science is Indian. So if you feel you may face difficulty in studying with an American accent, then this can be a good option for you.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good here. They are supportive of any kind of interest you have regarding any research or subject. They solve all doubts nicely plus their lectures are very interactive. I am doing machine learning under a professor and she teaches very well. Also my other professors are very supportive.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Well I will be graduated in 2024 so I am not very sure about this but the recent batch that passed is still looking for jobs. Maybe the reason is the market crash but still even at career fairs they hire people with green cards only. It's hard to get into a job from career fairs.

Mini world to explore and to chase our dreams

Tips: Students must know the course curriculum and fee structure. And mainly the opportunities after the master's. They need to focus on their strengths and weaknesses to survive abroad. They must know the facilities available near the campus and must have an idea about the expenses. So they can manage everything better. It's better to learn to drive in your home country, it helps us a lot here.

Likes (Student Life): Student life is so good and everyone is helpful. As an international student, I never find any difficulty. No discrimination and everyone supports with their best. Students have a lot of opportunities here to improve their skills and knowledge in different fields. There are a lot of cultural events and organizations to participate in and resemble the Desi style.

Dislikes (Internships): I feel that it's hard to get on campus internship here. The competition is too high and we need to work hard to get one. Every international student feels the same, but don't give up keep trying. Getting internship while studying is a good opportunity to improve the knowledge in that specific field.

Not a touristy place. People visit for good landscape and some fun

Tips: Students should know that the facilities are good at this university. Moreover it is very cheap compared to other places as well as in tuition fee. Living expenses are comparatively low here. I would say that if you want to roam you have to go downtown.

Likes (Part time work): I am working in recreation center on front desk. I would say getting part time job is easy only when you have any referrals for these jobs. This matters a lot. The workload is almost none. But you can get it easily by contacting hiring managers and through a handshake

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I am in final semester and still I didn't get any job yet. Even my seniors are struggling to get a job. Maybe it is the recession but college sometimes has career fares, however, they are mostly for US citizens only. This eliminates our chances of going in a good company.

Research oriented for medical and CS students

Tips: I can tell you that the courses here and the faculty are renowned. You can come here if you are by any chance interested in medical field with computer science. There are many ongoing research projects on this topic and we have a lot of funding for such.

Likes (Quality of faculty): So for computer science, the faculty is very strict. There are very renowned professors from Indian origin who teach core subjects and are pass out from IIT and IISC Bangalore campus from India. Their research work is very fascinating. I like their teaching style.

Dislikes (Indian Food): So our college have cafeterias but we don't have food options from India. We have Chipotle, pizza hut , sushi, wraps, burgers, pizza but no option for Indian food. We have to go out only for eating or take our own lunch to university. Although you can choose to eat these foods while you are on campus.

Research your course well before joining

Tips: I would suggest one should know details about their course well before joining. Just go through the course structure and the subjects listed on the website for the course you are planning to take at wright state university. Secondly, if you are interested for PhD get an understanding of the research going on.

Likes (Safety): Safety is good here. There is a police office built inside the campus. You will see cars patrolling often. There are emergency buttons for everyone on campus. Till date, I have not heard of anyone who has suffered from stealing or robbing. Even if you lose something you will get it in lost and found easily.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are less part time available on campus and as international students we can only work for 20 hrs per week. Minimum pay is 10.10$ per hour which is just enough for your living and food expenses for a month. Mostly if you get GTA or ra it's good because your tuition fees are covered there.
