Tips: Students should do a clear background check of the place where they are going to live. They should be in touch with the previous students and ask them about all expenditures. They should try to live closer to the college because it won't make them feel any kind of stress. There are different societies for international students in each reputed college so students should join those channels by signing up on Facebook or Instagram profiles, by this they can gain more information other than their academics. If there is any chance, they should email the course co-ordinators regarding any special internships and also the future scope of job. Lastly one must get to know the area where they are living.

Engineering at Coventry University is great.

Tips: It is a great University and has invested in its campus over the past decade. As a result, it’s now in top 20 universities in the UK. Still not the best also not the worst. It’s one of the best universities in the country for automobile engineering due to its huge ties with JLR and Rolls Royce. For my course, computer science engineering there are better options but I feel life in Coventry was much balanced in terms of cost and academic value than other competitors. Have fun!

Likes (Safety): Coventry was much safer than the neighboring major city of Birmingham. I did not face any sort of safety or racism concern. I usually use to stay up late working for assignments in the library and sometimes partying but I never felt any safety concerns walking back home which was a mile away from the city center.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): In 2015, there was no post study visa work available to further my stay to work in engineering. Although, this has recently changed. It was extremely difficult to get sponsored for a job in the UK after a bachelor's degree without any relevant experience. Sponsorship was limited and was reserved for senior and experienced candidates.

A valuable learning experience with unique challenges for international students.

Tips: The transition was generally smooth, although adapting to the academic structure and British culture took some time. The university does offer support when asked. I received the Phoenix Scholarship, which covers one year of accommodation within the student accommodation. To qualify you just need to pay 50% of the first-year fee before August for September intake. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Indian Food): I live in Coventry City Centre, which is within a 2-mile radius of the university. There are lots of restaurants to choose from, and many of them are inexpensive. South Asian food is especially popular, and it's easy to find a restaurant that serves it. I prefer to cook for myself, but I do go out to eat with friends at least twice a week.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Currently, there are no jobs, and recently the government changed some policies that affected the companies to take international students for work, as we will have 2 years of post-study work visa the employers always need at least 4 years of visa for the student to be selected.
