Satisfied with my time here but a little too expensive.
Tips: I got paid an allowance once it was around $12000 however did not avail of any scholarship. My professors were all good, and the labs here are well-equipped. The only concern I have is that library is not open 24x7. There are many things to do in university here and if you have any talent you'll easily find your way up. Be sure to prepare your assignments on time. I am overall satisfied with my university although I would say that a fee is a bit higher as to where the university is located.
Likes (Internships): Relevant internships are there which give you hands on experience. The faculty and college help you with that and if you are an active member of any club, your connections will help you too. There is a portal called UMBCworks where you can find relevant internships and job opportunities with respect to your course.
Dislikes (Safety): There is only one reason why I have rated 3 on safety and that is because Baltimore as a city is a bit higher on crime rate than other cities in the United States. This city is like a remote city and you'll feel like you are in an outskirts area.

Good university, average environment.
Tips: Students should know that if you are planning to come here to feel city like vibes then you will be laid a bit back. This university is in the outskirts with forest surrounding and there isn't a lot of development here if I talk about the area. University itself is good, the extra-curriculars here are good as well. So before coming here at least talk to someone who has lived or studied around here so that you can have a fair idea.
Likes (Quality of faculty): My course here is data Science and I must say the faculty is good. They not only help you with your assignments and course curriculum but they are there for you when you are looking for jobs or internships. Try to build relationships with your professors when you are here and this is what will set you apart from others.
Dislikes (Student Life): To be in states is not like in India. Here you have to take a part-time job anyhow to make ends meet so you should be knowing how to balance your academic and personal life. There is not much to do outside as a student, don't expect it'll be like New york or California here. College has many clubs you can involve yourself with but again you should know how to manage your time.

Overall, I'm really satisfied with my experience at UMBC so far.
Tips: As an international student at UMBC, there were definitely some adjustments I had to make when first arrived on campus. The bigger one was probably getting used to the more independent and self-driven style of learning. Here, you really have to take initiative and be proactive about your academics and getting involved. That said, the transition was made so much easier by the diverse, welcoming community at UMBC. There are tons of cultural clubs and events that helped me find my niche. The application process was pretty straightforward -just to maintain a high GPA and write a couple of essays.
Likes (Student Life): I rated student life a 4 because, for me, the college has been a truly enriching experience so far. I love the buzz of being on campus and the sense of independence that comes with it. My typical day involves attending classes in person, hanging out with friends at the student centre or coffee shops, and squeezing in some study time at the library. I also make sure to hit the gym or catch a game to unwind. The best part is the freedom to explore new interests through the diverse range of clubs and activities on offer. Speaking of which, our campus is always buzzing with events and festivities, from cultural celebrations to open mic nights and movie screenings. It's been an awesome way to meet like-minded people and build a strong sense of community.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Finding employment with visa sponsorship after completing your master's programme can be difficult, but not impossible. Start preparing and networking early, and focus on larger companies and major tech firms. STEM fields have more opportunities with competitive salary packages at the entry level. Maintain an excellent academic record, and develop unique skills. Stay focused, highlight your strengths, and seek guidance from career services and mentors.

Not much around in the area but the college is decent.
Tips: This college is best for information Science, computer Science and data Science courses and IAS a Data Science can confirm that. As compared to other colleges in USA, the tuition fee here is affordable and the placement rate is also decent. In general, academics here is good but if you're looking for social life and off- college enjoyment you'll not get much here in this area there are only a few state parks to roam around and sometimes I feel that students want more when they come to the USA. But if you are here for strict study purposes and getting settled down here then you'll not feel it. Jobs here are listed on UMBCworks and you can benefit from it. Scholarships are also there so be sure before enrolling here to check if you can avail of any scholarship and apply for the same.

The longer the name of university, the longer the list of opportunities.
Tips: I come from South India and have met many fellow students from South India here. All I'm saying is that no doubt you are in a totally different environment you'll still meet people from your place and background but try not to only sick to it, open yourself towards other people's beliefs and opinions that's how it works here in US. It's a good place to make new friends and develop lifelong relationships so if you are someone who wants that US is definitely for you. I'm satisfied with my university and that I'm in US, there are a plethora of opportunities here starting from part-time, to internships and getting settled here. Also, the university is very sporty you'll know after coming here.
Likes (Safety): I didn't encounter any un-safe event myself in this area and thus, I have rated 5 when it comes up to safety and security. All I would say is that be cautious of your environment nobody will harm you if you don't provoke or poke others. As a student I believe that you should always be humble towards people and if anyone provokes you don't act up to it. Baltimore is a diverse region so make sure to respect diversity.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are many Indian restaurants in Baltimore like Namaste Baltimore, kumari and Ambassador but eating there will cost you a lot as a student say 2 samosas will cost you around 500 Indian rupees and I don't think that's worth it even if I consider the taste. So as an Indian student studying here in Baltimore US my suggestion would be to cook yourself. It's more convenient, easy on pockets and more of an acquired taste.
