Bachelor of Arts in Physics - Batch of 2019
3.9
Princeton University has a lot of fun seminars and activities on campus.
Tips: If you are an immigrant racism will affect you. However, the other students accepted you for who you are. The faculty was very welcoming and supportive. I felt more at home at Princeton than I did at my previous university. I loved everything about Princeton, from the sports to the education. The teachers always made sure that I was keeping up with the rest of the class, and I was always at the top of my game. I am very satisfied with my course and the university.
Likes (Value for money): The experience was worth every penny and taught me a lot about how to save money and invest in the right things. The educational feels were extravagant, but nothing a few student loan and part-time jobs couldn't cover. As an investment in my future, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Dislikes (Safety): Racist comment were passed from time to time. I had a few instances myself when I joined the university as a freshman. I was called names by a few but again that's only another challenge we have to overcome to achieve the best versions of ourselves and grow to live up to our full potential.

Study at Princeton for great faculty, high-quality classes, and lots of student amenities.
Tips: Princeton offers need-based financial aid with no loans, and most students receive some form of financial aid. International students can attend a 2-3 day international orientation before freshman orientation week to get help setting up US cell numbers and bank accounts, acclimate to the area, and make new friends.
Likes (Student Life): I loved being on the archery team at Princeton University. There are lots of student groups and on-campus events to join. The nightlife scene is centred around the eating clubs on Prospect Avenue, and most students join an eating club in their junior and senior years instead of eating in the dining hall. However, there are plenty of other dining and social options available.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The Princeton campus is about an hour from New York City, which is easily accessible by train with one transfer at Princeton Junction. While on campus, students can get around with very little public transportation, as there are buses and shuttles operated by the university.

4.4
The University is collaborative and impactful. Plenty of opportunities to explore.
Tips: Before you fully commit to this university, make sure you have a word with a student representative or a former alumni who can give you a clear idea of what to expect on campus. Get an idea of what the university stands for, its history and what your inclination is towards.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The USA is easily one of the most accepting and multifaceted arenas open to people from all ethnicities, races and backgrounds especially if you're starting your life like me. If given the chance, I would certainly immigrate here especially in California.

Good career opportunities.
Tips: 1. Learn cooking, and try to be efficient in cooking as possible. This helps save lots of time 2. Take lots of layered clothing options, to make sure you don't catch cold 3. The MFE course in particular is intensive. Start your interview prep for placements/internships as early as possible before coming.
Likes (Internships): The course has wide range of career options ranging from technology to quantitative research in funds. The career path this program prepares for is quite varied, ranging from Data Science, Teaching to core-finance (which is its USP). Available internships are relevant.
Dislikes (Value for money): The MFE course in particular is expensive. The internships and placements are good but obviously, it comes at a cost. The college infrastructure is quite good though. The faculty is good overall, but MFE being a fast-paced course, they breeze through the course material quite fast.

UC Berkeley: A Crowned Institution in United States.
Tips: Trust me, the university is more competitive than it seems. Students should be prepared to put in a lot of effort. At first glance, the university may appear overwhelming due to its vast size and atmosphere. However, students must take this as an opportunity and learn with their fellow. Also, this is an opportunity to build strong meaningful relationships with your fellow. As in top institutions, like UC Berkeley, apart from academics most of the students come to build these relationships only. I can recall how many good relationships I have built over my time at UC and I am still benefitting from them day-in and out. Students must enrol for a scholarship as the cost of living near the university is relatively high. If you are unable to get a scholarship try to find a good part-time job. About the country well US is US just be good around here don't go to shady areas. Some of the areas have high crime rates and shootings are a common sight. The country will treat you well if you do well.
Likes (Quality of faculty): University of California Berkeley is renowned for its academic excellence and this isn't something to talk about, Come on! Everyone knows it before coming here. The professors are highly knowledgeable and experienced. The professors are very helpful and have unique teaching patterns. It's more of an interaction than teaching and I believe that this is the best method of teaching. However, not every professor at UC Berkeley is exceptional, this needs to be said! At first, I thought enrolling myself at UC Berkeley would be very stressful; nevertheless, the professors do help at every stage to keep the classes interesting and engaging for the students.
Dislikes (Part time work): As I have pursued MS in Computer Science, it is a bit difficult to get a part-time job. The competition is fierce and so is the demand. Due to the high cost of living every other student wants to land on a good part-time job opportunity, therefore making it extremely competitive. However, with the assistance of one of my professors, I was able to land a part-time job. It is difficult to get a part-time job or internship in your field as the competition increases every year. So, start to visualize according. Don't expect that the university will spoon-feed you every single time. Some myths need to be busted!

Amazing experience at University of California
Tips: First and foremost, students should find an accommodation near to the campus and knowing English is better so that you can communicate with everyone. Try to learn some technology or gain some experience in coding so that you can tutor or do part-time work as a frontend or backend Engineer.
Likes (Value for money): We had global exposure with peers coming from all over the world, different cultures and habits. Also, everyone was super helpful and many students ran organizations which were helpful to upscale ourselves. Many extra curricular activities were organized.
Dislikes (Indian Food): When I was working on a project, my professor was helpful and she also connected me with other professionals on the topic I was working on. She also explained personal branding like LinkedIn's do's and don'ts. She was kind and used to give her office hours for our benefit.
