Amazing university for anyone who wants to do computer science or engineering in general.

Tips: The curriculum is very rigorous and the assignments are time consuming. The roads on campus are very steep as it is situated on top of a hill. There is surely a cultural shift as there are not a lot of Indian students here. Overall I am satisfied with the university and my course.

Cornell has a great engineering program and all the top companies come to recruit students.

De-stereotyping Cornell and Navigating the Job Hunt

Tips: The job application process in the US is quite cumbersome. The culture is vastly different compared to Asian countries. There are several research opportunities and professors are open to taking in students even after their first semester. Prepare to work on an assignment for at least 2 full weeks because there might be errors that are commonly occurring for the whole class.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are very passionate about their field of teaching. They are mostly affiliated to some or the other company whi...
