How to live in US as an International MS Student

Tips: NYC is the world capital, so the transition from India was pretty smooth. You get all the food options that you would get in India. The college offers merit-based scholarships, so ensure that your GPA doesn't fall off. The college offers a lot of networking opportunities. Make use of that and build a strong network, as that is what helps the most.

Likes (Part time work): On-campus employment opportunities are a great way to make money while still being in school. The pay is hourly. You can work up to 20 hours per week as a full-time student. The workload is manageable along with the academics. There are plenty of on-campus options which you can find on the college job board. Reach out to professors for those roles as well.

Dislikes (Safety): A lot of things can happen in NYC and you have to ensure to be safe at all times. Keep track of the surroundings. Apart from campus security, colleges organise sessions to keep international students informed about the various facilities along with common safety measures, which students can use to ensure their safety.

Not worthy but fascinating

Tips: NYU gives out scholarships if you have a good UG GPA. Personally, the transition worked out for me, talking about cultural shifts I would say that ain't big of an issue. Overall I'd say I am more than satisfied with my decision to pursue a masters not exclusively academic but decent.

Likes (Public transportation): New York has the best public transport. The subway which functions round the clock, and public buses as well are very well connected and easily navigable. Connectivity to surrounding cities is good as well you could reach Jersey in 10 minutes. The costs as well don't cut that deep into the pocket

Living is a bit costly but it will be worth it.

Tips: Everything will be costly, and it's super easy to go beyond your budget. One of the best cities to live in, especially if you are used to being around a lot of people. Public transportation is the best in the country. On-campus jobs pay $29 per hour, which is excellent.

Likes (Student Life): It's New York City. Living in and around a city that many have only seen in movies. Probably every second corner is featured in one of the famous movies. There's a great nightlife if you want it, but it will cost you a limb. An immense number of on-campus clubs and communities are available.

Dislikes (Internships): Currently, internship opportunities are limited. As expected, career fairs are not very beneficial. The career center has made efforts to assist, but ultimately, it is the student's responsibility to secure an internship, and currently, the global market is unfavorable.

Masters in Computer Science (MSCS) - Batch of 2025

4.1

Opportunities Unveiled with positive learning environment

Tips: Similar to any other international student I experienced a significant cultural transition. It took me around a month to transition completely into this new environment. The university has been fulfilling, offering a positive learning environment and numerous opportunities for personal and academic growth. Overall, my satisfaction level with the university, my course (MSCS), and the country has been high.

Likes (Quality of faculty): I gave a rating of 5 to the Quality of Faculty because the professors in my department are renowned experts in their fields. Their teaching methods are unique, with the added benefit of easily accessible resources, including class recordings and lecture notes. The professors come from various regions of the world, providing a global perspective in the learning environment.

Dislikes (Part time work): I found that on-campus job opportunities are somewhat limited, and it's recommended to start applying early. As a Masters's student, I could only apply to on-campus part-time jobs in my first year, however, in my second year I had the freedom to apply for off-campus part-time jobs as well. Balancing part-time with academics gets a little hectic, but it is manageable. The payout for on-campus part-time is between 25-30$/hr.

Navigating NYU was a vibrant experience.

Tips: Before joining NYU, be aware of the high tuition and living cost in NYC. Adjusting to a fast-paced city may take time. I secured a scholarship based on academics, easing financial burdens. Overall, I'm satisfied with the university, the course and the vibrant experience in NYC.

Likes (Public transportation): NYU's campus is intricately linked to the city, benefiting from an extensive subway system and diverse shuttle services. Public transportation options are abundant, making citywide exploration both affordable and convenient. The well-connected campus fosters seamless accessibility for students to navigate NYC efficiently.

Dislikes (Value for money): Many students find the financial burden of attending NYU to be challenging, especially when considering the additional cost associated with living in NYC. The high cost of tuition often leads to concerns about student loan debt and the overall affordability of pursuing education at NYU. Despite these challenges, the university's reputation for academic excellence and its prime location continue to attract students, albeit with careful consideration of the financial implications.
