MS in Statistics (Advanced Data Analytics) - Batch of 2027

3.8

Good learning experience.

Tips: There are both pros and cons to studying here but in my case, I feel studying here has suited me as my degree has a lot of potential both here as well as in my home country. Try not to overpack while coming here keep only the essentials such as adapters and masalas and maybe stationery. Most of the things make sense in buying from here itself. You can also connect with alumni or mail student services if there are any major concerns, as sometimes they help out with scholarship options and other things as well.

MS in Mechanical and Energy Engineering - Batch of 2025

3.9

Very fulfilling, yet a remote place.

Tips: I came here without knowing what to really expect, but so far I have not been disappointed. You'll get a slightly small-town feel to this place, but campus life is filled with events and games. Have a healthy work-life balance as it is easy to close yourself in the midst of work and assignments.

Dislikes (Internships): Haven't had much luck from the university when it came to internships, and I did land a decent internship in India, but that was also on my own. Professors can help out and keep an updated LinkedIn as well. Attend career fair and you should study the market as well.

The Indian student community is close-knit and helps you to socialize.

You are encouraged to publish your research which helps you get a boost in the research and academia sphere. The Indian student community is close knit and you'll always have someone to look out for you.

BA in Information Technology - Batch of 2025

3.7

Very transformative journey.

Tips: The format for every class is different, but most of them encourage discussion and debates so whether you like it or not you'll have to participate. My scholarship of 10,000 USD helped make things a lot more affordable and smoother for me; otherwise, I would not have been able to come here. However, with the current policies in place, expecting a job is beyond far fetched. The weather in Denton changes all the time as well.

The university is quite student-friendly and dynamic.

Tips: I did feel some cultural difference here, but the people are quite welcoming, especially if you are a student. Being a part of the Desi community also helped me feel more at ease, and my programme is quite flexible as well, which allows me to experiment. Dallas is the closest city to go to in case you need an escape. Public transportation is quite accessible and affordable.
