A great college with lots of opportunities.

Tips: While applying to this university, you are by default eligible for the NAMU scholarship. If you are awarded any, then it will be mentioned in your offer letter. As far as I know, most people who scored above 9.0 CGPA received a scholarship. Other than that, the courses are diverse and you get to choose from a ton of courses from great professors. One thing is at the end of each semester, you'll need to hustle to grab your desired classes as the demand is huge. Overall, I am quite satisfied with mu experiences.

Likes (Public transportation): Most public transport is free of cost and bus availability is also pretty good with every bus within 15 minutes interval. The paid ones are also quite affordable with only $2 for any distance you travel. The buses even have a cycle track so you can loads your cycle whenever you are tired.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I prefer to cook at home because very few Indian restaurants serve authentic Indian food. Even when I request spicy food, the restaurants tend to make it sweet. Also, it is difficult to find Indian ingredients, so it is better to bring your own when you come here.

Arizona State University gives all you want - great faculty and strong academics.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know they can apply for part-time or on-campus jobs from India before coming to the US. They should also contact as many professors as possible for grading, teaching assistant, or research assistant positions. If students have a CGPA of 9.0 or higher, they may be eligible for the NAMU scholarship. Finally, students shouldn't be concerned about a cultural shift, as there are many Indian students and organizations on campus.

Likes (Student Life): There are so many Indian Masters students with whom we can enjoy. There are many Asian student clubs where various events are conducted, like Diwali and Ganpati celebrations. I used to participate in all Indian events. Don't miss the food here, as it is usually amazing.

Dislikes (Safety): There are some robbery issues near campus, but I didn't have any experience. There is an alarm-based app and mail system that will notify students and faculty if any dangerous issues occur. Other than that, the police here are really helpful and always available.

Arizona State University is number 1 in innovation.

Tips: There are some things that students should know before joining Arizona State University. First, you will probably have to live off campus unless you are an honour student. Do your research to find out what housing options are available. Also, depending on where you are from, you may experience a significant cultural shift and change in climate, especially if you are from a cold climate. Finally, there are some scholarships available for international students, but the amount may depend on your country of origin.

Arizona State University- where one shape future.

Tips: When I first came to this university, I was not comfortable with the cultural shift. It was a bit of a shock at first, but I gradually got used to it. I did not receive a scholarship, but I am satisfied with my course and the university. There are very few companies that offer visa sponsorship. Also, all job roles are offered in the United States with an average package of at least 60K USD for a Data Analyst position, and around 80K USD minimum for a Software Engineer position.

Likes (Student Life): I spend most of my day studying at home, but many students spend their time on campus in the libraries. The libraries are well-equipped with the latest technology. There is a wide community of students at ASU, and many Indian cultural events take place on campus.

ASU - money oriented university.

Tips: If you make good friends, you will enjoy your stay and concentrate on your studies. Focus on yourself. For the first 2 semesters, I struggled a lot to get an internship, after that I took it chill. Only a few professors are good, other than that those guys it's like studying an undergrad.
