Diversity in terms of people and experiences.

Tips: Before joining, students should research programs, campus resources, and opportunities for involvement. Transitioning here involved adapting to a diverse culture and urban setting. Scholarships are also available to qualified students based on their academic merit. Amazing student life on-campus.

Likes (Student Life): The university offers a diverse student life with engaging events and clubs. Its urban campus fosters academic growth and vibrant community connections. There are varieties of student clubs that include almost every available field. The college is situated in the downtown is a main advantage

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current job market is bad and it has nothing specific to do with the university. Common roles include software engineer and data analyst. However, I am not sure about specific data related to how many company offers roles and the salary package.

Get ready to work hard for your course at computer science in cleveland state university.

Tips: Crime rate is high in the Cleveland area. The cold weather can be very harsh with temperatures going upto -2C. There are a fair number of Indian students, finding off-campus housing and roommates is very easy. Getting Indian groceries is also easy. Get ready to work hard for your course and living expenses.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Racist faculty. Chinese professors tend to make course difficult for no reason. People have failed courses even after graduation. CS department is not flexible compared to other departments. Getting an academic dismissal/ probation and transferring out to other universities is very common.

Not so good university to pursue your career.

Tips: Please research about the career near this university. They don't offer any scholarships to students. Not very satisfied with the university because of fewer job opportunities. For Mechanical, Civil and Electrical it’s a good university but for IT it’s not.

Not a great university in my experience.

Tips: This university is not cheap as it looks. The course curriculum is not updated as per the market need. You will have more people from the south side and it feels like you are studying at some university in Hyderabad. Not a good experience overall I feel. Faculty is also not good in their field and they are also not interested in spreading the knowledge they have

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is good. Have good connectivity. You will have RTA college sticker on your college ID which you can use to have free ride across Cleveland. RTA buses are really great and they have better connectivity. Ohio especially Cleveland have better public transport.

Dislikes (Safety): Area wise not good. Many crimes are reported each and every day. You can look on the internet about the area. It is a criminal city and it's in the top 25 world crime cities. Not safe at night. Many homeless people are roaming around and asking for a dollar.

Stringent with teachers and academic policies.

Tips: Computer Science is a bit tough class for students who do not belongs to CS in their bachelor's class. Do not expect this to be fun loving university. Academic policies are exasperating and you'll spend every week studying and studying only. Plagiarism is a real heat so do not cheat.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is free and is good. You can roam around the city with your student bus pass, the bus pass is provided by the university itself and you could use it to go anywhere i.e part-time or college. It cost 40$ a month and is included in your tuition fees. The majority of Indian students use this bus pass for going to university every day.

Dislikes (Student Life): From student's perspective the quality of academic life is degrading day by day because of some stringent teachers of Computer Science. There is free public transport, so it's a good thing. This is not so expensive city, with rent and food compared to other cities in the US. A large number of Indian population is here.

Good college but financially little costly for money spent here

Tips: I was acclimated to the US culture because I had friends studying here already. You can attain scholarships if you maintain a good gpa in the first semester of around 3500$ per semester and it would go up to 6000$ per semester. If someone gets an assistantship they could get up to 10000$ scholarship.

Likes (Public transportation): The campus is right in the middle of downtown. The college has a railway station within 10 min walk and has bus stops next to every building. The campus has a security escort service at night if there is an emergency and is required to travel in the night when buses or trains are not available.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs on campus are very deficit. The average payout is around 10$/hr. Jobs are usually available on handshake to apply and aramark website to apply. The usual working hours are around 20 hrs per week and the weekly payout is 800$/week. The jobs are usually hard to get due to low availability.
