MS in Data Science - Batch of 2023

Offered by University of Rochester

4.1

Good public transportation.

Tips: Beware of job scenarios, things could be difficult, so research before coming in. Look into seniors and ask them for advice whenever possible. Start prepping for jobs and internships early on. Focus on creating a network with different people of different cultures.

Likes (Public transportation): There is a good public transportation bus service called RTA Roam in Rochester and is really helpful. You can see the bus location on an app and plan your schedule. The University also has its own coloured line for bus. That helps too. They have an app as well.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I have no idea about it. Frankly, everything depends on whether you get a job or you choose the Ph.D. track. University cannot help much in this case as it is student-by-student dependent. Think before what you want to do and plan accordingly. Be flexible as well.

It's a decent college in a not so expensive city.

Tips: Mostly everyone gets a scholarship. There is a lot of difference in culture. With time everyone adapts. You will find some great teachers and subjects. Try to get a research assistant on-campus job. Not a lot to do in the city, in fact quite boring, so make some good friends.

Likes (Part time work): Plenty of options and mostly everyone gets an on-campus job. You can check the website for more information. Dining services, teaching assistant and research assistant are the most common on-campus jobs. You can't work outside for the first 9 months.

Dislikes (Safety): Rochester is not a safe city, some areas are really dangerous. Staying on campus is a better option. Areas like the 19th award witness crimes on a regular basis. University has done well by introducing Public safety but by no means the crimes have topped.

I would say that the University and the area around is calm and immersed in nature.

Tips: There is very little cultural shift transitioning to the university as there are many people from the community around the area. Students applying to the university should consider sending their GRE scores, even though it is not mandatory, as it evaluates the percentage of scholarships you could get. I am satisfied with my university and the area around me.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part-time jobs available on campus. People should keep looking for the postings frequently there are plenty of opportunities posted in the portals every week. As students can work a maximum of 20 hours per week, the work is pretty easy to manage. The average payout is $15 per hour.

Dislikes (Internships): There is a lot of guidance available for internships but there aren't enough internships available in the Rochester Area. The career fair that happens in the university won't be much of use for this and CS Students as most of the companies look for US citizens or majors in core areas like Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
