Academic integrity and hard work is the key here.

Tips: When you are moving to the U. S from India, there is a notable cultural shift, but it's manageable with time. The communication style here is more direct and informal. People love their personal space, it's a two-way street, you respect their personal space and they respect yours. When it comes to the educational system in the U. S, its emphasis more on critical thinking and your participation in the class matters a lot unlike the lecture-based and rot memorization methods followed in India. The assignments and projects require your own input and the grades are earned solely through your efforts and contribution. Plagiarism is highly offensive and unacceptable here, you will not get away with it, so it's advised to show academic integrity at all times. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university's academic quality, course offerings, and the opportunities it provides.

Do not expect good placement.

Tips: Placements are not really good for the amount of fees paid. Amenities are good but still, the college fee is at a higher price point. Education quality is good. Most of the professors teach really well, but with the higher acceptance rate into the college, the quality of the student environment turns poor.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is available for free to commute and takes less than 20 minutes. Most of the buses are crowded during the class timings, but other times they are mostly empty. Transportation is not available 24/7. Saturdays and Sundays they are only available between 10 to 6.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): College doesn't really help in securing jobs. Out of 100 companies that come to career fairs, only 2 to 3 are willing to take international students. Most opportunities are for experienced people rather than freshers. It would be a good idea to come here after having some experience.

Master of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2025

All the faculty are approachable and helpful.

Tips: 1) There is a cultural and academic shift in terms of how everything works here, from greetings when you meet someone to the emphasis on self-learning and practical learning. It's quite different, but it's a good experience which everyone gets used to. 2) Unfortunately, IUB very rarely offers any scholarships. There are many TA opportunities but the benefits of being a TA are inferior compared to other universities. As TAs we only get paid hourly without any substantial stipend or college tuition fee waiver. Thus everyone gets a decent opportunity at being a TA but it doesn't really pay off much.

Likes (Quality of faculty): 1) The courses offered at IUB for Computer Science and Data Science are pretty extensive. There are many options to choose from compared to other universities. The faculty has a mixed pool of good and bad professors, but all the courses are oriented towards practical learning with a lot of emphasis on assignments and projects. 2) There is a diverse mix of professors at IUB and most of them are very approachable. All professors have office hours during which you can visit them and most courses will have TAs also who will be there to assist you throughout the course.

Dislikes (Indian Food): 1) In Bloomington, being a college town, the landscaped of Indian dining options is somewhat limited, with only a handful of establishments offering Indian cuisine, typically numbering around 3 to 4. While these restaurants provide a serviceable experience, the culinary offerings often tend towards the real average taste. 2) I find greater satisfaction in preparing Indian dishes within the confines of my kitchen. This approach gives me the flexibility to tailor the flavour precisely to my discerning palate. Fortunately, Bloomington boasts a resourceful Indian store by the name of Apna Bazaar, which consistently stocks an extensive array of Indian spices, condiments, and culinary essentials. This accessibility ensures that I can procure all necessary ingredients with ease, facilitating the creation of authentic and flavoursome Indian delicacies in the comfort of my home.

Work hard, play hard, a place to enjoy, location not the best

Tips: Lots of work to do, all around from course to change in lifestyle, part time etc. Be mentally prepared. Courses are academically tough, so you'll have to start on the assignments early on and also give proper time to your job prep, college is not of much help for co-ops, even if you secure one yourself.

I have a positive opinion. Good university.

Tips: I would say it is a good college and you can definitely consider joining it. It is a university worth every penny. You can get a part-time job pretty easily and with that, you can manage your monthly expenses. Also, the living cost is below average so overall a 4.5/5.
