Great learning, great campus, great mix of students and supportive faculty
Tips: It was a great learning experience. You get to meet students from different countries. Work on real projects and capstone. It is a fast-paced schedule and is good for working professionals. Scholarships are available based on your academic performance. New York is the city of dreams, one of the best places to study.
Likes (Safety): Very good location and good crowd. Everyone is supportive. This is a lively place with good food. Many public transportation are available. Insurance and good healthcare are available. Indian stores and malls are close by to Indian neighbourhood. Malls are close by for day-to-day shopping. Laundromat available.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Recession market causes difficult times post covid. Many companies look for US experience in your resume. Not all companies agree to sponsor h1 Visa. Cracking interviews is difficult. You have to apply to a lot of companies with no direct placements. But data Analytics has a good future and job market.

Good college, I had a nice experience.
Tips: You need to know the course curriculum before joining the course. You can do part-time on campus and you need to search for that. No scholarships are given by the college. I was satisfied with my college and course as it offered what was promised. Professors are good and helpful they provide all the materials required.

Costly to study but college is good.
Tips: College is good but the fee is too much I think. The fee is a big problem to study here. Compared to other colleges, the fee is double. For one semester fee here we will complete an entire course in other colleges. University location is good and faculty is okay and the food is not good for Indians.

Great college and very helpful for the future career support.
Tips: One should know about Long Island University, Brooklyn campus is that this college is very liberal when it comes to academics and very helpful for the subjective part. But for the on-campus jobs, I never got a chance to grab one. Not just me even my super seniors didn’t get any chance.
Likes (Post study jobs): I rated 5 star for the post study jobs because particularly my branch got plenty of opportunities out there in USA. Being from a physical therapy background I've got great openings and a future here in the USA. Also great support from the country as we were in the medical background
Dislikes (Part time work): Long Island University deserves only 1 star rating for the part time jobs. Because it doesn’t release any part time on campus jobs for any of the international students. Almost every job mentioned on their website is only for US citizens.
