Buffalo - A great place to live and study.

Tips: I think the transition has been very successful in part due to on-campus resources. Information regarding specific things is available online on the university website. I am satisfied with my experience of the university's course and the country. Also, you get very much less chance as an international student to qualify for university scholarship.

Likes (Post study jobs): The job market is good for probably all fields and in accordance with the current situation. Also, incoming students can start to apply for internships before they arrive in the US. The internship and co-ops have a very high chance of getting converted into a full-time job.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Finding employers who will sponsor your visa once you graduate is hard to find since most employers prefer in-state employees for whom they don't have to sponsor a visa. But this case is different for different fields and depends on case-by-case basis.

3.9

If you're interested in Computer Science and want to save money, this university is a good choice

Tips: I'll break it down into points and keep it simple. Pros: - Above decent Computer Science courses - Easy on the pockets compared to other universities. - One of the biggest campuses in the entire New York State - A wide range of daily events and exciting activities to enjoy with a variety of student clubs to join. Cons: - Harsh winters. (Although you get used to it) - Poor on-campus job fair for international students. (You'll have to rely on online applications) - Some programs require international students to enrol in 12 credit minimum per semester in the first two semesters.

Likes (Indian Food): You'll find Indian food options on campus as well as off-campus. $12-13 would be a good estimate for the meal price. The Campus Dining C3 on the North campus serves Indian food once a week and you'll find 2-3 other Indian restaurants on the North Campus. There are a couple of Indian restaurants and food trucks near the south campus as well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I would not recommend a permanent setting in Buffalo, as the temperatures tend to go very low and there aren't many companies around. It is a good idea to move to a different place in the USA after graduation. Although, while being a student, staying in Buffalo will help you save you substantial amount of money.

MS in Mechanical Engineering - Batch of 2023

Offered by The University at Buffalo

3.2

Difficult to find jobs. Overall, good university.

Tips: University is highly research-oriented with great labs. Good University with low tuition. If you join labs. Highly satisfied with the course and University. Getting visa is difficult. Specifically, H1B. It takes about 8-10 months to find a job.

Likes (Value for money): Tution fees is among the lowest in the US. The university is research-focused and research-oriented. You can finish Masters in less than 60 lakhINR. Good chances of getting campus dining jobs if you apply early. Few students get TA/RA too if you join labs. Buffalo is not too expensive as a city.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I won't like to permanently settle in this country. The chances are close to nil. Getting a green card is close to impossible unless you marry a citizen. H1B visa is also difficult as more and more students come to study every year. The country is saturated with Indian students.

Univeriversity at Buffalo is satisfactory and also value for money.

Tips: It's a good college and one of the top colleges in any state, but Buffalo as a city is small and there isn't much happening but because it is a public university and fees is less it makes it all worth it. It's a little hard to get a part-time job since it's limited but since the cost of living is less it's okay to not have one.

Likes (Quality of faculty): All the faculty are very knowledgeable and they focus on practical experience rather than bookish knowledge. You gain a lot of hands-on knowledge of various tools and technologies. You also get a lot of support for learning new things and making your own projects.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are a lot of employees who would not want to sponsor international students making it hard for students to find a job. And with Buffalo being a medical town it doesn't have a lot of IT jobs. There are only a selected few places that would hire international students and sponsor their visas.

Good education with value of money

Tips: At UB you'll meet people from different backgrounds, most are from India and then China. Besides just studying you'll grow a lot personally. When it comes to scholarships, there are a lot but always advise to apply for it before coming to university.

Likes (Value for money): Compared to other universities in US, fees at the University of Buffalo are much lower. And it depends on your field of study. If you are taking any course from management school it can cost you around 50 Lacs in INR and if it is any MS course it will go up to 30 Lacs in INR.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Settlement options depend on which company you are going to join. If it is a good company you may get H1B which is the first step of any F1 Student. There are other options like getting a green card through family, starting a start-up etc. But still, there are a lot of things that come to play. Overall settlement options are very limited for students from India.
