Master of Computer Information Systems (MCIS) - Batch of 2024

Offered by Colorado State University

4.4

One of the best underrated Universities in US

Tips: Very good University and has great ranking but the weather is not good sometimes it can be managed by taking a few measures. Best faculty, have great facilities to work and have a great campus life keeping all this aside the fee is a bit expensive but if you can afford it then it is a great option.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Some of the most important topics in the industry will be taught to us by professionals who are highly skilled and knowledgeable in the field. We have on campus and only both have great exposure and all the assignments and exams are straight out of what we learnt in the class.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The role that the university plays in this area is completely empty. You alone are responsible for it. If you are doing a Ph.D. then the university will process your green card, but for Masters or UG, you should be the one to get those through your employers.

Master of Engineering (ME) - Computer Engineering Specialization - Batch of 2024

Offered by Colorado State University

Choose the right university and course that aligns with your academics and career goal.

Tips: Before joining this college students should perform proper research on the course or the specialisation they want to take and what opportunities it will open for them. If you think it does not align properly with the industry requirements needed to get a job, go for a better university. This should be the main focus when selecting a university. Other priorities are safety and good community. I could not secure any scholarships, although I have heard it is easy to get TA and RA positions under professors, so try to opt for it.

M.S. in Computer Engineering - Batch of 2025

Offered by Colorado State University

3.8

Safe, inclusive environment, beautiful campus, amazing research activities.

Tips: The first semester was really hard due to several factors. The education system is very much different here, so adapting to the new system takes time. The climate is also different here. However, the university staff and locals in Fort Collins city are very welcoming and helpful. When it comes to academics, submission of the academics within the deadline without engaging in any plagiarism practices is very important. There may be multiple hard assignments in the same week to complete if 2-3 core courses are chosen simultaneously. Therefore, discussing with the academic advisor or other students who have completed at least a semester prior to finalizing the courses is important. There are many scholarship and assistantship opportunities available in the university, which should be applied beforehand and maintaining good communication with professors helps in getting graduate assistantship roles.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of options for part time opportunities in the campus, starting from an average pay of $13.5 per hour. International students in F1 category are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week on campus. For part-time work off-campus, a special paper is required, which may vary in different universities. Managing part-time work along with the studies is a bit difficult during the first two semesters. It depends on the nature of the coursework chosen. However, most of the international students are managing part-time work and academics pretty well, so it shouldn't be that hard.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): As of now the wait time for permanent immigration for Indians under the H1B category is 15-20 years, which is expected to increase further in the future. The visa renewal and extension procedures are time-consuming and have a lot of uncertain dynamics associated with them. Getting an H1B visa itself, in the first place, is a huge challenge. In short, each stage of visa procedures is painful and extremely uncertain.
