Value for money university to join.
Tips: At the outset, I encountered challenges with food, but I gradually adjusted and found ways to adapt. Although I did not receive any scholarships, I managed to navigate through my university without major financial training. Overall, I am quite content with my university choice, as I believe the education and experience it offers justify the cost.

Public Research University.
Tips: I had the dream of coming to master in USA from a young age after seeing my relatives and others come here. After my undergrad, I did a job for 1 year as SDE and decided to go for Masters. I applied to many universities and the best I got was at Stony brook university MSCS so I decided to pursue my MS in this university. The acceptance rate is an average of around 48%. I have just done my 1st sem. Did 3 subjects and got good grades. There were medium to hard subjects but done with them somehow. Prepare hard for getting into the University as it is getting tough to get into. Consult students who are studying here. It is good for your future. I am satisfied with the university, course and country.
Likes (Indian Food): The Stony Book university is in the middle of New York and there are lot of Indian food here. From South to North every option is available. The restaurant owners are Indians also. The Indian population here won't let you miss Indian food. I prefer cooking myself because New York is so expensive and I still eat outside on weekends. So there is no problem with food options in our country. You'll see a lot of options for Indian food outside Stony Book University.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): This University is good and it's well recognised. Many MNC's visit for placements but due to the current scenario, it is tough to get a good table job after studies. Applying for 100's of internships but getting rejected for all, as situations are bad at present for current job situations. The package varies from degree and it's one of the best universities in New York, so there are a lot of options for Post-study jobs. It will take some time for everything to come back to normal.

Part-time jobs are less but tuition fee is also lesser on comparison.
Tips: Stony Brook University is one of the highly ranked university in the US and also the no.1 public university in the state of New York. It can be challenging at times with academics but put in the effort and it should be manageable and one should be able to adjust to the fast paced life as to not fall behind on academics and internships. When it comes to part time, the options are very low for the graduate student and getting one can be considered lucky, so this is not the college if you want to rely entirely on part-time. Tuition fee is low compared to other colleges but housing is expensive. Assistantships are also tough to get if you haven't been offered one on admission

Value for money university
Tips: Culturally very accepting, super easy on students, especially Indian origin has a good community to live on campus, and good diversity as well. Relatively tougher, but students do get RA positions with tuition funded and a good stipend. I am totally satisfied with the university and with the country.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): US is a tough place if you are concerned with permanent settlement, but the quality of education and industry exposure is top-tier. Very few other countries would provide this experience with such minds to collaborate and this is super important for personal growth. Given a chance to permanently migrate here, I would not choose to.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Middle eastern and Indian food available are relatively good prices. There are a few canteens, marketplaces and dining halls which provide diverse options and fairly standard prices. Some options are mac and cheese for 2.5$, salad bowls for 4$, full course bowls for 10$

Rigorous and smooth administration
Tips: Rigorous study environments, relaxed international community, good number of international students and professors. There we have healthy competitions and great exposure to different social events to build all round developments. Indian students are good in numbers here.
Likes (Safety): Very safe on campus community. Campus police departments is well-staffed and trained to ensure the safety of the student. The university has strict policies and procedures in place to prevent crime and respond to emergencies. Stony brook university also has a number of resources for students such as 24-hour emergency response team.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Not many options for economical Indian food nearby. There are only a few restaurants which can give Indian food. The lack of demand for that type of cuisine may be one reason for that. Along with that, there are separate bodies which provide only American food.

Cheap and affordable education.
Tips: The university is one of the cheapest in the US and you will be able to find a good network of people who stays with you on-campus. It is located in the Suffolk County on Long Island in New York state. The grocery stores are very far but you can get shuttles to go there.
Likes (Safety): The university is situated in Stony Brook, Long Island which is a very sparsely populated city in Long Island, New York. So the university is very much isolated from the rest of the cities. There is no concern about mugging and other crimes which usually happen in cities. So it is very safe.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work is difficult to get on-campus and we are not allowed to work off-campus during the semester. There is a lot of competition as everyone wants to get part-time job to lower their burden on tuition fees and get some funding for their living expenses.
