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.

College is great with strict ethics and values.
Tips: I experienced a lot of culture shock when I first arrived at Wright State University, especially with regard to housing, food habits, and driving. However, I was able to adjust fairly quickly, and overall I am very satisfied with my experience at Wright State. I also received a merit-based scholarship, which requires a GPA of 3.0 or above.
Likes (Indian Food): There are Indian restaurants in the area, but they are expensive. There are more Indian stores where Americans will buy stuff at a higher price than we do. I prefer to cook at home because fresh chicken is available at the nearby market. We can afford to eat biryani, which is my favourite dish.
Dislikes (Public transportation): There are few options for transport at Wright State University. There is a bus that takes students from nearby on- and off-campus housing. The bus schedule is posted, and buses run approximately every 15 minutes. To travel in the city, there is a bus stop at the college that students can use.

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.
