NYUAD: A Chef's Salad An American Institute in the middleast
Tips: If you are not used to being in a diverse environment, the transition to NYUAD could be difficult. However, it is a very friendly campus with a zero-discrimination policy. For Indians, it is not very difficult to adjust because there's a large Indian community on campus. There are options to get a fully-funded education that covers everything and I got one. Your admission application process is through a common app, and if you want a fully-funded education, you can also submit a college board application. FAFSA will review it, and the university will provide you with financial aid accordingly.
Likes (Post study jobs): Post-study jobs depend on your field of study. STEM fields have more demand here but there are also companies who want individuals who have expertise in inter-disciplinary learning. There is definitely some scope but graduation from NYUAD gives me an edge while applying for jobs abroad as well. There is a 95% employment rate.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The UAE only gives you sponsorship visas and you cannot attain citizenship here. However, there are options to get a Golden Visa for 10 years with your academic excellence. If you complete a degree from the world's top 100 universities, you will get a golden visa. I personally enjoy living in the Emirates because it feels nothing less than India.

Had a wonderful grad school experience at NYU.
Tips: I attended New York University and had a wonderful experience. I was awarded a scholarship of 9K USD for the entire two years. I had an undergrad GPA of 3.8/4.0, which is the reason I was chosen for this scholarship award. If you are considering studying in New York, NYU is a good choice. The faculty is very supportive and will help you significantly during your course.

Tips: Great school in the middle of New York City. Vibrant culture, although don't be surprised if you see a lot of Indians around the campus. Great food and you'll get to meet a lot of people from different cultures around the globe. Easy going school work which allows us to balance school and life.

How to live in US as an International MS Student
Tips: NYC is the world capital, so the transition from India was pretty smooth. You get all the food options that you would get in India. The college offers merit-based scholarships, so ensure that your GPA doesn't fall off. The college offers a lot of networking opportunities. Make use of that and build a strong network, as that is what helps the most.
Likes (Part time work): On-campus employment opportunities are a great way to make money while still being in school. The pay is hourly. You can work up to 20 hours per week as a full-time student. The workload is manageable along with the academics. There are plenty of on-campus options which you can find on the college job board. Reach out to professors for those roles as well.
Dislikes (Safety): A lot of things can happen in NYC and you have to ensure to be safe at all times. Keep track of the surroundings. Apart from campus security, colleges organise sessions to keep international students informed about the various facilities along with common safety measures, which students can use to ensure their safety.

Living is a bit costly but it will be worth it.
Tips: Everything will be costly, and it's super easy to go beyond your budget. One of the best cities to live in, especially if you are used to being around a lot of people. Public transportation is the best in the country. On-campus jobs pay $29 per hour, which is excellent.
Likes (Student Life): It's New York City. Living in and around a city that many have only seen in movies. Probably every second corner is featured in one of the famous movies. There's a great nightlife if you want it, but it will cost you a limb. An immense number of on-campus clubs and communities are available.
Dislikes (Internships): Currently, internship opportunities are limited. As expected, career fairs are not very beneficial. The career center has made efforts to assist, but ultimately, it is the student's responsibility to secure an internship, and currently, the global market is unfavorable.

The best decision of my life.
Tips: NYU is in the heart of New York City, and it is one of the most multicultural places in the world. If you want to find Indian restaurants and Indian people to hang out with, you will find them here and if you want to meet people from all over the world they are right at your doorstep. I did not avail of a scholarship. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at NYU and the United States.
Likes (Quality of faculty): NYU law has some of the foremost authorities in their fields teaching you. The classes are engaging, the syllabus is well thought out with difficult yet enriching final assessments. There is a super wide range of classes to choose from all equipped with industry leaders as professors. Diversity in nationality of the teaching faculty was not a criterion I considered important so I have never paid attention to this.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market for international LLM's is extremely challenging with the demand for international legal talent in the US seemingly being far lesser than the supply. Having said that NYU Law does provide some solid fellowships for LLM's pursuing a public interest path.

Navigating NYU was a vibrant experience.
Tips: Before joining NYU, be aware of the high tuition and living cost in NYC. Adjusting to a fast-paced city may take time. I secured a scholarship based on academics, easing financial burdens. Overall, I'm satisfied with the university, the course and the vibrant experience in NYC.
Likes (Public transportation): NYU's campus is intricately linked to the city, benefiting from an extensive subway system and diverse shuttle services. Public transportation options are abundant, making citywide exploration both affordable and convenient. The well-connected campus fosters seamless accessibility for students to navigate NYC efficiently.
Dislikes (Value for money): Many students find the financial burden of attending NYU to be challenging, especially when considering the additional cost associated with living in NYC. The high cost of tuition often leads to concerns about student loan debt and the overall affordability of pursuing education at NYU. Despite these challenges, the university's reputation for academic excellence and its prime location continue to attract students, albeit with careful consideration of the financial implications.

Opportunities Unveiled with positive learning environment
Tips: Similar to any other international student I experienced a significant cultural transition. It took me around a month to transition completely into this new environment. The university has been fulfilling, offering a positive learning environment and numerous opportunities for personal and academic growth. Overall, my satisfaction level with the university, my course (MSCS), and the country has been high.
Likes (Quality of faculty): I gave a rating of 5 to the Quality of Faculty because the professors in my department are renowned experts in their fields. Their teaching methods are unique, with the added benefit of easily accessible resources, including class recordings and lecture notes. The professors come from various regions of the world, providing a global perspective in the learning environment.
Dislikes (Part time work): I found that on-campus job opportunities are somewhat limited, and it's recommended to start applying early. As a Masters's student, I could only apply to on-campus part-time jobs in my first year, however, in my second year I had the freedom to apply for off-campus part-time jobs as well. Balancing part-time with academics gets a little hectic, but it is manageable. The payout for on-campus part-time is between 25-30$/hr.

Amazing journey and abundant learnings
Tips: I learned to plan my time well which helped me to take on courses, study and prepare well for the job market. I received an 18K scholarship split over 2 years dependent on maintaining at least 3.33 GPA. I am satisfied with NYU, USA is a good place to be.
Likes (Public transportation): MTA in NYC is well connected and easier to travel through once you know how to. The fare is $130 for an unlimited metro pass for a month. Each individual ride costs $2.9, while if you travel to college frequently, then you pay via OMNY NFC pay, which allows you to travel without having to use a MetroCard.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Needless to say, PR in USA is getting competitive day by day. A large number of students apply to the USA and given the H1-B lottery system, it is competitive and based on luck. Having said that, PR shouldn't be the primary motivation for pursuing Master in the USA.

The largest private university with great academic excellence.
Tips: If you are thinking of getting into New York University then you have to know many important things before joining. The acceptance rate of New York University is 12.2% and it means it's really tough. You will need to excel in almost every major college application factor. It's one of the most expensive universities so you have to look for internships and try to manage your expenses. These are the important things you should know before joining the university.
Likes (Indian Food): The New York University campus offers great student life. The campus is in the heart of New York City with access to a wide range of cultural, professional and academic opportunities for students. New York University offers a lot related to India. It feels like home in the Indian community. There are a lot of cultural events which seem great. The cultural student clubs offer a lot of benefits. Also, there are many sports and literary clubs. New York University has the best student life in the country. It is a great place for enjoying student life.
Dislikes (Safety): New York University stands out as one of the premier educational institutions in the country, renowned for its exceptional faculty and academic prowess. The distinguished faculty is unquestionably outstanding, featuring some of the most accomplished educators in the nation. Within the CS department, NYU maintains a top-notch faculty known for its excellence and diversity. The multicultural composition of the faculty not only adds an enriching global perspective but also creates a welcoming atmosphere for students.

Tips: NYU gives out scholarships if you have a good UG GPA. Personally, the transition worked out for me, talking about cultural shifts I would say that ain't big of an issue. Overall I'd say I am more than satisfied with my decision to pursue a masters not exclusively academic but decent.
Likes (Public transportation): New York has the best public transport. The subway which functions round the clock, and public buses as well are very well connected and easily navigable. Connectivity to surrounding cities is good as well you could reach Jersey in 10 minutes. The costs as well don't cut that deep into the pocket

The quality of education is commendable
Tips: When considering joining this college, there are several key aspects students should be aware of to make the most of their academic and social experience. Academic Preparation and Course Selection: One of the most crucial piece of advice is about course selection. It's recommended to balance your course loads each semester by choosing one easy, one medium, and one hard course. This strategy helps in managing the workload effectively without getting overwhelmed, especially since the professors, though mostly good, can vary in teaching styles and course demands. Engaging with seniors for advice on course and professor selection can be particularly beneficial. This approach allows for a more informed decision, helping to align courses with your interests and academic strengths. Financial Aspects and Scholarships: On the financial front, the college offers scholarships, like the one I received which amounts to 6000$ per year. This scholarship was awarded based on my academic and professional profile. Personal Experience and Satisfaction: Personally, having completed one semester, I am quite satisfied with the courses and professor. The quality of education, especially in the MS CS course, is commendable. However, there are challenges, such as the large batch size which inversely affects the availability of on-campus jobs. This is a significant consideration for those relying on such opportunities for financial support or professional experience. Cultural and Social Adjustment: As for the transition to college life, there has been an interesting cultural shift, especially given the college's location in a vibrant city. This environment offers a plethora of activities and experiences, ensuring that you rarely feel bored or homesick. The cultural diversity and the city's dynamism make it an exciting place to live and study. This aspect greatly enhances the overall experience, offsetting some of the drawbacks of the campus itself.
Likes (Public transportation): This is New York City which unarguably has the best subway system in the world. You can go from any point in the city to anywhere you want using the subways. Also, the subways are pretty affordable. One ride will cost you 2.9$. Other than that, you also have bus services which are 24/7.
Dislikes (Part time work): The large batch size but small campus results in fewer on-campus job opportunities. Especially in the first semester, it is very hard to find an on-campus job. My advice would be to email professors and department heads on opportunities pertaining to on-campus jobs. The pay is very good where you can earn up to 28.5$/hr which will cover your living expenses.

A wholesome once in a lifetime experiece.
Tips: Common issues irrespective of university: 1. Getting acclimated to the culture of the place, weather, neighbourhood etc. 2. Having a network of support and building friends. 3. Shift in emphasis from scoring on exams to working consistently. Course specific: You always are loaded with work. More often than not, you find yourself working on the assignments, and projects or catching up with lecture concepts. This may make you feel like you don't have a social life since you know people from other departments have house parties more often. End of the day, I'm glad I pushed through the loads because the learnings I get from these are unparalleled. Remember, we are here to study. This comes first. Scholarships: Merit based scholarship of $4000 per semester of 9 credit. This amount is decided based on the application material, no need for extra application. Satisfaction: If you have a mechatronics background, it's better if you apply to CE and take these subjects. MS mechatronics and robotics as of 25 batches don't have flexibility. Some of the courses that I felt were a waste of money for me were Mechatronics and Entrepreneurship. This reduced the number of core courses that I can pursue. On the other hand, Robotics being a specialisation for CE, all our courses are open for them providing better flexibility. But overall, my knowledge growth has been significant and would say it was worth the money.
Likes (Student Life): You literally have some or the other event every other day. These cover things like social, career, fireside chats etc. There are about 100 clubs in total. So probably there is a club for anything you can name. Every one of these clubs has a target of organizing at least 3 events a semester which means all of them are active clubs. There are multiple project clubs too if you want to get your hands dirty and gain practical experience.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since our batch had the highest intake, the amount of competition was higher as well. This makes it difficult to land an on-campus. Another reason is the pay. Graduate workers minimum wage as on date is 28.25 an hour which makes the department budget stringent in allocating Gas. My course load is hectic when compared to other departments, so an international student with a job other than a desk job will face difficulty handling the same.

My Amazing Experience at New York University.
Tips: To be honest, I haven't experienced any cultural shift. But yes there are scholarship offered along with some allowance. However, the accommodation, which off campus and it cost around 500 USD for sharing and 1700 USD for private room. Traveling by subways is very safe. I am a new incoming student over here, so don't comment on placement. But layoffs are really a great consideration factor. My i20 amount is around 60k. But till now am very much satisfied by my university and my core course. Any is an place to be in context of education also.

NYU is a great place to study at. Just keep yourself open to everything.
Tips: I did not experience any major cultural shifts at NYU. Make a group of 4 students and preferably look for accommodation together. Would be cheaper that way and less stressful. I received a scholarship from the university and you do not need a separate application for it. You will find many Indian and Chinese students in your class.
Dislikes (Value for money): I kind of feel the tuition fee is justified as NYU makes sure to give everything back via the various events and opportunities it gets for you. Moreover, the university provides an awesome research environment and has one of the highest graduate starting salaries in the United States. Moreover, being in NYC has its own advantage.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Best faculty, mentors, and advisors. Quality assurance of study material and what is taught in the classes. Availability of staff, along with the best library.
Dislikes (Safety): Mid Town NYC is a bit scary and there's always a lot of intoxication in States that makes it more annoying. There are a few places famous for thefts, but NYU also has its own security check as well as NYPD never fails to be on time. You can chill at Washington Square Park and if you need any help put 911 on the speed dial.

Great experience in the greatest city.
Tips: New York is a difficult city to live in and demands much out of you on a daily basis, if you cannot deal with that NYU is not for you. There is a huge cultural shift but depending on how much you are able to embrace the energy in NY, you will be able to adjust well. I did not need a scholarship so unsure how that works. I was very satisfied with my college experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors were exceptional and at the forefront of their fields. The classes were interesting, and some of the professors had incredible teaching methods. The faculty was very diverse, and some were very approachable and easy to converse with, while others were not so much.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I gave NYU a low rating for permanent immigration options because it's incredibly difficult to immigrate to the United States. The visa process is a lottery system, and it's not easy to get lucky. I never even tried to get a visa because I wasn't interested in staying in the United States long-term.
