MS in Environmental Engineering - Batch of 2023
4.1
The university helps you to grow and be independent.
Tips: I did experience a cultural shift in a good way. The people here are more open and friendly and there is a lot of mutual respect one holds for others including strangers. On the same token, the environment is a lot more competitive and lonelier so that can be tricky to navigate.

It was a fulfilling and enlightening experience.
Tips: Students should enjoy their time here and try to avoid getting too stressed as the academic pressure can be intense and it is recommended that you keep a healthy work-life balance. Talk to your professors and keep up your classroom engagement as these points can matter. The faculty is very helpful and understanding and will provide you with every insight required to succeed in your career.

It is one of a kind experience worth reminiscing about.
Tips: Students should take advantage of their time here by collaborating on projects, going to the career fair and engaging with their peer group as the Virginia Tech experience is also essential to build yourself for the workforce. It would be wise to come with a scholarship that too for one of the programs that is ranked highly among the university.

It has been above my expectations and you get to expect great student life at VT.
Tips: I initially used to think that Virginia Teach would be a very academic environment with less time for anything else but here you are encouraged to explore your interests outside of the classroom be it sports, volunteer ship or a hobby, you can really make the best out of everything that campus has to offer while getting a good quality education.

A great ideal mix of academic and extra curricular activities.
Tips: I have been having a pretty good time so far at Virginia Tech as the campus is a truly lively and inclusive place. Try to stand out in classes as that will benefit you in the long run especially as you can take advantage of the numerous research opportunities present. The faculty is great and understanding so don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Master of Science in Civil Engineering - Batch of 2024
3.8
Internships are easily available. Civil department is good.
Tips: I have become a lot more independent. A cultural shock I experienced was the small talk and greetings with strangers, which is not practised in India. I had a scholarship. I got it as I was a research assistant and a teaching assistant for 2 semesters. I am highly satisfied with the course however it gets stressful at times.
Likes (Internships): There are a lot of good opportunities for Civil Engineering. Since Virginia Tech is highly reputed in the civil department, it is not very difficult to find an internship. The internships available are very much relevant to the field of study. There are a lot of options available.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There is just one Indian restaurant in Blacksburg, which is not that great and is overpriced. There are a lot of other options like Mexican, Chinese, American, Korean, Thai etc. However no good Indian restaurants. The nearest good one is 40 minutes car ride away.

A review on MS CS at Virginia Tech
Tips: The MS thesis programme has good funding options than the MEng one. Be interview-ready before you join college. The college and academic curriculum will satisfy you. If you get a TA/RA, apart from a tuition waiver you will be paid 2000$ a month. Contact professors once you get admitted.
Likes (Part time work): The college has good academic finding options like TA/RA. Also, there are plenty of dining jobs. TA/RA comes with a tuition waiver while dining jobs pay 17$ per hour which can cover your living expenses. Time management can be pretty tight as you need to spend 2-3 hrs a day.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The town is in Blacksburg. It's a pretty small town and there are no Indian restaurants. The nearest big city is Washington DC. So in the college town, there aren't any authentic Indian restaurants. But it has good American food. I prefer cooking myself.

Master of Science in Computer Science and Applications - Batch of 2023
3.9
Great course, nice little university town
Tips: It would be good to apply to graduate assistantships before hand, there are many opportunities but one needs to apply before the start of the semester. The university and courses is nice, but courses can get full at times to book sooner. Most courses are not so hectic and can be easily managed. Do spend time finding and communicating with an advisory for your MS thesis before you come here. Living expenses are not so much and there are many cheaper options too but students should start finding housing sooner in March or April for Fall. Focus on finding internships from the very start otherwise, it can be tough to get one.
Likes (Student Life): The university is nice, it is a university town. There are regular events held and activities are available for hiking or laser tag. Regular events happen and are updated online or via weekly emails. There are numerous student clubs as well and they also hold their own activities throughout the semester. There are places to sit on the campus and have a sunny daybreak or just study on the hill. Study spaces on the campus are also nice and peaceful. The downtown is walkable and one can get quick coffee or lunch.
Dislikes (Internships): Usually internships are sought for off-campus and most opportunities on campus are for citizens but students do get a place via campus as well but that's much less in number. In the USA beyond a certain ranking, all universities are on par when finding internships and one has to ensure their profile is strong enough.

MS in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2024
4.2
VT is a good place to be, find your friends circle. Attend events, and don't be shy.
Tips: VT is a very good Engineering college. All engineering programs are good. Decent chance for getting funding, through TAships and RAships ( higher if you are doing a thesis, significantly low chance for non-thesis programs). TA and RA cover tuition fees, provide a stipend of around 2500$ per month, and health insurance. Getting a TA is kind of based on your profile, TOEFL score etc., so there is not much you can do ( like mailing someone) to get a TA. If you see any mail asking for TAs, just apply and wait. To get an RA you should try to mail pros and try to show your interest in joining their groups for doing your thesis, and there is a possibility that they'll reply back. Sometimes your proof can talk to the depth and can get you TA funding as well. Sometimes a grading wage position can help you get a TA in a later semester. Pretty easy to find wage positions on campus, dining plays around 16-18$/hr, grading around 11-12$/hr etc. VT's research is pretty good, I would ask people to choose colleges wisely, and not just over brand value. It feels nice when you get admitted from say a very huge brand college say U. Mich Ann Arbor, but you will have to take an insane amount of loan, for doing the same course work and research as VT. The brand value might have a slight difference in job search, but with some extra work, it is quite possible to land jobs all over the country for both VT and U. Mich. As far as internships, job search, starts early. VT has career counselling for free, use it. Careers fairs have not helped me personally, but it might, you never know, so attend them. It's a good experience. LinkedIn Glassdoor etc. Helps. A lot of VT alumni can be found in companies if you want a referral etc.
Likes (Public transportation): There are free buses all the time ( that is needed). You can go to any part of the city, with insanely good frequency ( during semester days). You can also travel to nearby places for free, and to go to Washington DC pay 40$ which is also not bad. So transportation is pretty good. Nice biking trails as well.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are a couple Indian based restaurants, and they are not that good, given the price. Indian grocery is also relatively expensive, yet it is essential to make good food. You can find Mexican, Italian, Mediterranean food. A couple of good Nepali places as well. There are always subs, sandwiches, pizzas and burgers. Nice diners, and bars as well.

College lacks post graduation resources and courses. Research are interesting.
Tips: I think ME is a developing department still and lacks some options in Robotics specialisation. On the other hand, bio-hybrid and Material Science has developed a lot and the faculty has some exciting research with a lot of exposure. Good resources for interdisciplinary studies.

Virginia Tech is wonderful inside out.
Tips: Blacksburg is not your regular city, it is a college town, so I would not expect a lot in terms of city vibe and events. All the people are super helpful, right from the graduate school to the international centre, all advisors are considerate. I managed to get a teaching assistantship at the ECE department which helped cover my monthly expenses. Overall, VT is a great place, a beautiful campus, good professors and research-oriented.
Likes (Public transportation): Blacksburg Transmit (the official public transportation) is very convenient for students. We have buses running every 15 minutes (during regular college) and at 30-minute intervals (during break) and it connects to every part of the city. And to top it all off, it's completely free.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There aren't many Indian restaurants in Blacksburg. We'd have to travel to the closest city, Roanoke (1 hour by bus) to get decent Indian restaurants. The ones in town are not that good. A Nepali place opened up just recently, which does have some decent Indian food options. However, on a regular basis, I usually prefer to cook at home.

A great academic and research University filled with opportunities
Tips: I experienced a cultural shift from India because here the accessibility of purchasing items is less. For example, buying stationery, clothes etc. has limited options. Mainly because Blackburg town is in a remote area. We only have a few groceries here. I got a teaching assistantship during my course. I got it with my admission offer. I think one of the reasons for getting it was that previously, I had taught students of 9th and 10th grade at an NGO. Also, if you have good grades and academic knowledge, your chances of getting these scholarships are high. I also got a research assistantship for one semester by working under a Professor. The course is high-ranked, the university is well-equipped for research and the education is worthy. There is a fast-paced environment here and every course that we take involves many practical deliverables.
Likes (Value for money): The ranking of Virginia Teach is good for Industrial and Systems Engineering and especially for Human Factors concentration. The faculty and research laboratories are equipped with instruments to carry out research. So, overall, it can provide a good return on investment. Hence, I gave it a good rating.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are two restaurants nearby which offer Indian food. First one is India Garden which provides Indian curries at the price of around $16-17. The curry comes with a price. However, the other options like Naan, roti are expensive. Also, the taste of the food is not that great but potion size was good. The second restaurant, Humro Kitchen offers some options like Momos and many Indian Curries. There also each item is priced between $15-20. However, the potion size is small and the taste is also not good. I prefer to cook at home myself. Also, I take frozen Chapatis from Oasis Asian Market.

Virginia Tech - The best college for international students
Tips: On campus jobs are always available. Multiple internships and co-ops are allowed (with no courses-conditions involved). The weather is pleasant. Public transportation is the best. Low rent rates and great availability of apartments. Safe university town. Top 4 for Power Electronics (Electrical Engineering). Best University for international students, hands down.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I believe if you have a Ph.D. in STEM courses it is easier for you to get citizenship (given that you have your other requirements fulfilled). It is a research-oriented school so easier to get Ph.D.s.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants in the city are not that good. They do not offer authentic Indian food, but Indian students should stay away from outside food anyway. There is a grocery store called 'Oasis' which has a lot of eastern Asian grocery options but moderate variety when it comes to Indian groceries.

Academically Excellent, Beautiful Campus, Welcoming and Supportive
Tips: VT campus in Blacksburg is academically oriented with excellent curriculum. Students aiming to study and focus on their master's degree might find this place perfectly suitable. I can’t think of any disadvantages of the campus unless you want a city life. Also, it would be great if students can apply before deadlines and acquire some assistantship since there are ample opportunities.
Likes (Student Life): Blacksburg is absolutely beautiful, on top of that the campus is gorgeous surrounded with college buildings, it’s a scenic park everywhere. Students can always choose flexible courses and manage studies with part time and outings on weekends if they are good at time management.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Virginia Tech has one of the biggest career fair events in the country. I find it convenient for students to find a company that can sponsor visa since there are many options available. Of course it’s always the student's choice if they are willing to find companies without sponsorship.

Likes (Public transportation): I spent my college days very well. The best college as we have enjoyed our academics, interactive programs, and projects. We have an art club, board game club, Chamber orchestra, and entrepreneur community. Our university has a theatre for arts and I mostly participate in it.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The faculty is great and professional. They are very knowledgeable and also help whenever we have doubts. We have access to the approach at any time. Most accessible & friendly faculty. Subject based learning, collaborative projects, experiential learning.

Best college for poor students
Tips: All online classes no physical classes. Per semester you have to attend one physical class for a day. College is very particular about plagiarism if you cheat or copy any work of your friend and google data(copy paste) professor will give you a zero and fail you. Besides this, anyone can manage or adjust to this college
Likes (Part time work): College is online so you get time to study and work. No need to go to college so you have enough time to work, make money, pay tuition fees and manage personal expenses. America is very expensive and jobs are good here but it takes time to settle so be prepared.
Dislikes (Public transportation): This Michigan state is known for its automobile industry so no trains no buses, you must have cars. The minimum price to go anywhere is 15 dollars so for two-way is 30. Therefore, people take cars on lease here which is 700 for a month. Initially, you will have challenges but will be good.

The process and experience in the United States has been amazing
Tips: There was a big difference in the environment and the food particularly. I had to get used to living in a new environment with new people surrounding me. I did not get any scholarships but it was a rewarding experience. I’m very satisfied with my university, course, and country selection.
Likes (Safety): My day was spent taking classes and doing my classwork in the library with my classmates. We spent time in study groups which really helped me learn the material better. I was involved with my classmates on campus in different groups. I had a fulfilling time learning with my classmates.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty was very accessible and approachable to my needs. The student to faculty ratio was great, making it very easy to get help if needed. The teaching was unique in the fact that the teachers explained everything in great detail. The faculty was very diverse.
