University is worth the money we pay

Tips: Course duration is 15 months only and there was no cpt until last semester. The college is fun with super cool infrastructure. Most of the part time work available in college has heavy competition so getting it is a bit tough unless you have good rapport with advisor of the course.

Likes (Student Life): College infrastructure and the curriculum is good. I really enjoy in the college. I feel its worth the money compared to the other universities nearby. I think the best thing about the college is the friendly nature and the vibe we get from the environment.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent settlement is directly dependent on student’s profile and their career and luck for H1. So I cannot say that there is permanent settlement on this university. Given that you are the best in academics would definitely fetch you best results and grades in the university.

Sacred heart university made me realize why I should come to college everyday.

Tips: Just email the professors before coming here and have a conversation about what you’re interested in. Make sure to take time to habituate to the culture slowly. Try not to stress yourself over everything all at once. Take time and relax. Make sure to come to USA at-least a couple of weeks before classes.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are really experienced and they help us a lot in learning the subject, I really love the way they teach in class. Their educational practices are really worth practicing. They focus on making us learn things rather than teaching us only for grades, which is kind of awesome to me.

Dislikes (Safety): I want to be very honest and let people know that some places like Bridgeport are scary and really dangerous. I suggest people live in Fairfield, Trumbull and many other places around the university but not Bridgeport. I am not saying it is a dangerous place but every place in USA needs some safety guidance. Indian food restaurants like Barossa and tasty halal can make your day.

My college is the place to learn and to grow

Tips: I didn't face any transition when I came here as I can see more people from my country. I didn't receive any scholarship when I applied for this college. I am completely satisfied with the university as it has a very good faculty and also they especially take care of Indian students. In terms of public transportation, there are so many buses to travel around the campus and also college buses are provided.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't see any options to get into permanent immigration/settlement options as we are not allowed to stay there.

Good friendly staff, but in person teaching and global exposure is missing.

Tips: Quality learning is missing, and international students, won't feel like international students because most people are Indians. Recorded lectures were given for the online lecture and in one out of my 3 subject only one professor was good infact great but the other two were just completing the syllabus and recorded lectures were extremely boring.

Likes (Public transportation): They used to provide free transport to nearby stations. And transport from one campus to another which is at a distance of more than a mile. Fairfield is close the Bridgeport station which has straight train to NYC Grand Central Most Indian students lives in new jersey Next to nyc .

Dislikes (Value for money): I can learn better at YouTube for free, most lectures are online that too recorded. Only one lecture in a week wasn't enough to be called a full-time course. It maybe good for healthcare students but not good for business and finance students.
