The university campus is good with very helpful faculty.

Tips: Students should know that they might get a temporary culture shock but that will not unnecessarily be a bad thing as people here might come off as more blunt or transparent but they are also equally kind and helpful. Talk to your supervisors and interact in classrooms. Campus life is also very educative and you are bound to learn a lot. Public transportation is affordable and accessible throughout the day, Overall, I am satisfied with the course, college and the country.

Mixed opinion but it is a good place.

Tips: While the University of Texas has many strengths, my experience here has been mixed. I took a while to settle here and the orientation was brief and unhelpful at least according to me. Along with this, housing is an issue as the capacity to board students is limited and this causes a lot of issues.

The college is great with strong and intense academics.

Tips: The coursework and academic curriculum are pretty intense and studying here has been a truly one-of-a-kind experience. You should spend time exploring different courses before you commit to a single major as you might be surprised. Don't miss out on the international student fair and mixers as these are a great way of socialising and networking.

It was quite an important journey to go through.

Tips: Living here has been a unique and beneficial experience for me and I am truly grateful for this part of my college life. On the other hand, jobs are minimal and immigration is becoming increasingly challenging so it would be a better idea to keep multiple options open. Besides, the college hosts several events, so participate in it and build connections.
