Healthy environment to live and great education.
Tips: I got a $2500 scholarship based on my GRE, IELTS, and B.Tech GPA. I also like that we're allowed to take other field courses. I've met people from different cultures and backgrounds, and it's easy to make friends here because everyone is new. My apartment is also close to Indian stores, which is convenient. The faculty are really supportive and will help you whenever you are stuck with. Overall, I'm very happy and satisfied with my university.

Very grateful for the experience and an amazing student life.
Tips: One of the first things to sort out before reaching the campus is your housing, whether on campus or off campus, based on your preference and convenience to classes or else it can become quite chaotic. Make sure you follow the requirements of your major such as credit requirements as well as attendance as it can vary a lot. Besides, the faculty is great and be quite helpful to you regrading your professional life.

Experienced learning like never before.
Tips: Students should know that you will get to experience a very accepting and student-friendly environment. The course curriculum is quite dynamic so you'll also be expected to unlearn a lot of things that you may have previously been accustomed to. Try to make the most out of your time here. Overall, I am satisfied with my course, college and the country.

The perfect college town if you are a student
Tips: If a person is living in a tier 1 city in India, then the USA is not much different except the people. So it is not that difficult to get used to it. There is an academic excellence scholarship option at the end of the year worth $1000. I am more or less satisfied with the university.
Likes (Public transportation): There are ample buses to every part of the city and it is free for the students. You just have to show your university ID card and that's it. The bus frequency is also not a problem as the buses start from 6 am in the morning through 12 am in the night.
Dislikes (Value for money): Job opportunities, not so much, else everything is very good. It is tough to find internships and jobs because of the visa sponsorship issue. But for overall value for money, it is worth it, as it is one of the cheapest business degrees in the USA. Overall it is a good course.

University of Florida: Affordable in terms of course fee.
Tips: University of Florida is ranked as the best public university in the United States. It is also very good for the Computer Science stream. The professors are well-versed and teach really well. The curriculum is well designed with a good number of assignments, projects and exams to get a deeper understanding of the subjects. Another plus point about the University of Florida is its affordable fees (around $35000 for the whole course). The only thing I observed as not good is the lack of diversity in the MS in Computer Science programme. About 95% of the MSCS students are Indians.
Likes (Indian Food): We have a decent number of small to medium-scale restaurants which offer Indian cuisine. There are also restaurants offering other cuisines like Asian, Chinese, Thai and also a good number of American restaurants and fast food chains. I usually cook at home, but go to restaurants once in a while.
Dislikes (Internships): For a really long time, the University of Florida has been one of the top colleges in terms of internships and full-time job placements. But, since the COVID-19 pandemic, the US economy has been in a recession which has led to a significant drop in placement opportunities.

The university helped me significantly in developing my personality for professional aspects.
Tips: What I have observed so far is that being involved in extracurriculars and research will be very helpful if you are studying at this university. Make sure you meet people outside of your immediate friend groups as these will lead to a true sense of network and exposure. Try out as many opportunities provided as it can help you to grow in a personal and professional manner and enjoy the student life there.
