Cultural warmth and academic triumph.
Tips: Upon arriving in the USA, I noticed a discernible cultural difference, although it hasn't been overwhelming. Adjusting to the new cultural nuances has been relatively smooth, and I find life here to be simple and easygoing. The people I've encountered have been remarkably kind, friendly and understanding, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. The practice of greeting everyone adds a positive touch, making me feel more connected and at ease in this new environment. When it comes to scholarships I have availed of a state tuition waiver. I obtained it by working as an Instructional Assistant in one of the departments. This position not only provided valuable work experience but also granted me a scholarship. While the specific allowance may vary, the scholarship has been a significant financial support. I am extremely satisfied with the university, the course and the country. The university has provided a supportive enriching environment for academic growth.

Well facilitated college.
Tips: Coming to the US to pursue studies is a dream come true moment for most people. The college system in the US is slightly different than in India. You can get international student scholarships as well as assistantships if you look into the college job and scholarship portals. For some universities, you can also be eligible for an in-state tuition waiver which reduces your tuition fee to half.
