It is a good college. But the college fee is bit more when compared to the other colleges.

Tips: Everyone will experience a cultural shift at some point in time. I did not avail of any scholarships. I took an education loan, and my allowance is also included. I am managing allowance from that loan. I am satisfied with my course but I am not satisfied with the university while the country is good.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Here the faculty experience is very good. They explain each and every doubt and are also pretty friendly. They will help you in each and every aspect. We just need to follow their instructions and do whatever they say. That's it. We will get good marks.

Dislikes (Part time work): Based on my experience in New Jersey, Indian restaurants are very less. Because of that, we can't find the job. When compared to other university campuses, part-time jobs are also not available. Here if we want to survive or to earn the basic things or money we should be familiar with the language as it gets easier to find jobs then.

Lots of research options are available here.

Tips: Students should be well prepared mentally that they will miss their home. But the maturity and experiences one will have will help him/her in his/her future for sure. Studying is hard but a lot of research options are available. The faculty is good. Friends are always there to help. The climate is moderate. You will have a lot of opportunities to get on campus jobs.

Likes (Safety): I have seen how alert the campus police is and there is something called Rowan alerts in case of emergency. Let us say that there is some emergency, then Rowan alert sends you a text regarding the areas to avoid. It is always available for students' help whenever one needs it. The Glassboro town is also safe but I would suggest you to always be careful.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It is always difficult to get work permit in the USA. As the number of people applying are a lot more. It is a lottery system which makes it completely dependent on your luck, regardless of the field you are in. So that is why, nowadays, a lot of people are preferring other countries which have better settlement chances.

The average payout for part-time ranges from 10 to 15 dollars per hour.

Tips: Opportunities do exist they can be competitive and limited, especially for international students. On campus jobs like working in the library, dining services or as a research/teaching assistant are available but you need to apply early and be persistent. Off campus work is restricted for international students unless it's through CPT/OPT and even for domestic students, opportunities depend on local demand. Balancing part-time work with academics is manageable with good time management most students work around 10–20 hours a week. The average payout ranges from 10 to 15 dollars per hour depending on the role and experience. Rowan University has a generally safe campus with visible security presence, emergency call boxes and regular patrols but like any college town occasional incidents can happen. The university also offers safety apps shuttle services at night and student escorts for walking across campus late at night, which are reassuring. In the city of Glassboro, I’ve personally felt safe most of the time, but there have been a few late-night situations off-campus where caution was necessary staying in groups and being aware of surroundings really helps. It's a secure environment as long as you're mindful.

The university has so much exposure and hosts many on-campus events.

Tips: I experienced some cultural shifts when I came to study in this country, like a different language, thoughts, mindset and different climate as well as nature. There are lots of opportunities to get the scholarship and help the students. You should check out the university's official website to look for it. I am fully satisfied with my university, course, and country.

Likes (Indian Food): There are all types of restaurants available with all different types of dishes, both veg and non-veg. The food is a bit expensive but totally worth it based on taste and hygiene. Cooking for yourself is a better option, but eating out at times is also good.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is a bit expensive and busy. The metro and bus are the main options to connect our campus to the rest of the city. They provide comfortable rides but are a bit expensive.

Average, less job opportunities and dull student life

Tips: It is an average college. The faculty is very friendly and helpful but a good and job savvy curriculum isn't available. The job market isn't that great here. Most students that passed out last year didn't get a job. If you do well it's easy to get a research internship on campus. Student life sucks here because you are basically in a village.
