Western michigan university is academically oriented and has quite a tough course schedule.

Tips: I didn’t get any scholarship but you will avail other benefits here. Transportation is free for WMU students. Faculty is good but can be better. The temperature here is very cold so be ready for that especially if you are from north or central India. Here are some Indian restaurants that I tried but I didn’t like them since the food is not spicy enough for an Indian maybe that’s more to cater for American taste buds. Before coming here get in touch with someone you know like I had a friend from ...

Smooth transition from a work-life in India to student life in tier-2 university in USA

WMU is a good pricey university with a lot of degrees to choose from.

Tips: Kalamazoo is a small town. If you're a Muslim then you'll have problem finding halal food. There are very few options for assistantship too and it's pretty hard to find them. There are a lot of off-campus housing options and they're pretty cheap. Learn to cook before you come here, you'll need it!

Likes (Public transportation): University provides free transportation anywhere across Kalamazoo (city where the university is located). They also provide good maps and timely updates on buses. There are very few buses running on S...
