The faculty are very helpful, understanding and supportive.

Tips: Students should check for off-campus accommodations that are close to the university and for scholarships. Ask college professionals about your average expenses and make sure that you have some extra money just in case of an emergency. Going to a different country might get lonely in the start but once you get to know your classmates and make some friends it gets better over the period of time.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty for my department is excellent. They help you study everything that you are supposed to learn. Make ways to communicate and meet you if you cannot understand something in class and will also try to make almost everything easy for you to understand and help learn and grow.

Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian food is easily available but it is still a lot expensive than what you might expect. Also, sometimes the quality won't even be up to the mark. Buying groceries for Indian food might be costly but less expensive than eating outside. I prefer cooking and making food for myself most of the time as it is less expensive and you know you're eating healthy.
