I had all lows after coming Wright State University.
Tips: There will be no part-time work available, so if you need to work to support yourself, you should not come to this university. Also, never stay with your friends, as everyone becomes selfish after coming here. And you will be broken. Please get a loan and study hard. Maintain your expenses.
Likes (Safety): Our university is very safe because it is near the right state base area so it is very secure. There is always a police presence in the area. Also, the university provides a shuttle service to grocery stores near the university. Additionally, most of the people who live in the area are students, so you will get to meet a lot of international students.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): It is very difficult to get a job in the United States as an international student. Most people here have US citizenship, so there is a lot of competition for jobs. To get a job, you need to network a lot.

The college is great with the facilities and the education provided.
Tips: It is different here with the multicultural diversity. I have experienced a lot of cultural shifts. People greet each other and are very friendly. I received a merit-based scholarship which is of 10,000 Dollars. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, country and the college.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition fee for my course is justified. I got an international graduate scholarship of 10,000 USD. This is a budget-friendly university. I think you can't find any university with the state of the art facilities at a minimum tuition fee that also provides merit-based scholarships.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Chances on permanent settlement take time and it is mostly delayed. To get a permanent settlement, you need a green card. My plans are different I'm just here for my studies once, it is done I'll move back to India. To start my own start-up where I'll be using these skills.

Overhyped university, promoted by consultancies for their commission.
Tips: I faced no cultural shock as there were so many Indian students and it doesn't feel like being away from home. There were no scholarships available at any time of the year. Teaching assistants and Research assistant positions were available. Overall, it is not worth the money spend on the University, should've found a better University.
Likes (Safety): Closer to Wright Patterson Air force Base and Wright State University police respond very quickly. People were really nice, University is amidst a good neighborhood, nothing really like ghettos or bad communities around. However, bad experiences were on the wrong side of the city, my friends got robbed twice.
Dislikes (Value for money): Tuition fee is not justified. Very less hands on experience on research. Classes were so less informative and lot of biasness in the classes. No change in assignments or exams in years, people just copy or read old questions to pass, nothing challenging. Can find better colleges with cheaper tuition rate per credit hour.

The college offers various programmes to grow professionally.
Tips: There was a lot of cultural shift. I have transitioned a lot on the basis of discipline and management between college work and household work. I love spending my time in college so much. There are many places to spend time at. I spend most time at the RUSS building, student union and library. I enjoy the diversity in the college. There are so many events organized in the college like cultural events, sports, women empowerment, fun events, and many more. I often participate in them. There are so many clubs and each nationality has its own club and other than that there are many clubs for sports, support, transfers, culture etc. I got a scholarship of 10,000 USD for my whole course. It was based on of merit student scholarship. I'm well satisfied with my course and university and the country.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The faculty is the thing I look forward to most in my university. The faculty is amazing. They are very approachable and accessible. Students can meet them in their rooms or they will just be a mail away. The teaching methodology here is mostly hands-on based and flexible. Most of the coursework is done by students which helps students to understand the concept deeply. There are faculty from many parts of the world at Wright State University.

Too many international students(especially from India)
Tips: Be prepared to study hard. No copying assignments or exams and study hard. If you attend classes, it's helpful. Staying close to the university is good. I got a scholarship from the department. It's 10000 USD (2500 for 4 terms). I like my university. Getting part-time is hard.

Adjustable environment of college for new international students
Tips: So if you are afraid of joining a university where there are many Americans and you feel you cannot adjust to such university, then this will be a good fit for you. Here the percentage of Indian students is good so you can easily adjust. Also maximum faculty for computer science is Indian. So if you feel you may face difficulty in studying with an American accent, then this can be a good option for you.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good here. They are supportive of any kind of interest you have regarding any research or subject. They solve all doubts nicely plus their lectures are very interactive. I am doing machine learning under a professor and she teaches very well. Also my other professors are very supportive.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Well I will be graduated in 2024 so I am not very sure about this but the recent batch that passed is still looking for jobs. Maybe the reason is the market crash but still even at career fairs they hire people with green cards only. It's hard to get into a job from career fairs.

Mini world to explore and to chase our dreams
Tips: Students must know the course curriculum and fee structure. And mainly the opportunities after the master's. They need to focus on their strengths and weaknesses to survive abroad. They must know the facilities available near the campus and must have an idea about the expenses. So they can manage everything better. It's better to learn to drive in your home country, it helps us a lot here.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is so good and everyone is helpful. As an international student, I never find any difficulty. No discrimination and everyone supports with their best. Students have a lot of opportunities here to improve their skills and knowledge in different fields. There are a lot of cultural events and organizations to participate in and resemble the Desi style.
Dislikes (Internships): I feel that it's hard to get on campus internship here. The competition is too high and we need to work hard to get one. Every international student feels the same, but don't give up keep trying. Getting internship while studying is a good opportunity to improve the knowledge in that specific field.

Research oriented for medical and CS students
Tips: I can tell you that the courses here and the faculty are renowned. You can come here if you are by any chance interested in medical field with computer science. There are many ongoing research projects on this topic and we have a lot of funding for such.
Likes (Quality of faculty): So for computer science, the faculty is very strict. There are very renowned professors from Indian origin who teach core subjects and are pass out from IIT and IISC Bangalore campus from India. Their research work is very fascinating. I like their teaching style.
Dislikes (Indian Food): So our college have cafeterias but we don't have food options from India. We have Chipotle, pizza hut , sushi, wraps, burgers, pizza but no option for Indian food. We have to go out only for eating or take our own lunch to university. Although you can choose to eat these foods while you are on campus.

Research your course well before joining
Tips: I would suggest one should know details about their course well before joining. Just go through the course structure and the subjects listed on the website for the course you are planning to take at wright state university. Secondly, if you are interested for PhD get an understanding of the research going on.
Likes (Safety): Safety is good here. There is a police office built inside the campus. You will see cars patrolling often. There are emergency buttons for everyone on campus. Till date, I have not heard of anyone who has suffered from stealing or robbing. Even if you lose something you will get it in lost and found easily.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are less part time available on campus and as international students we can only work for 20 hrs per week. Minimum pay is 10.10$ per hour which is just enough for your living and food expenses for a month. Mostly if you get GTA or ra it's good because your tuition fees are covered there.

Good college life and study
Tips: Before joining one should know that this college course is tough and has a lot of assignments to do. In my course, the assignments are interesting and fun. You will actually enjoy these assignments. Also if you want a nice college life do come to this college.
Likes (Public transportation): So the student life is quite good. A lot of events happen throughout the campus. There are different courses one can take and can join in different organizations. There are people who will help you and support you. I like the way people enjoy here. We have a nice cafeteria too.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty here is good. Although the rating of this college is not good, the quality of the faculty is very good. They all will clear your doubts and give you a lot of time personally. Assignments are relatable and very good. I also love the course structure and the way questions are asked in the assessment.
