Budget friendly and diverse University
Tips: I got GA which sponsors my tuition fee during my course. College is great for people who want to get a degree within budget. Will find many students from different countries. Faculty members are supportive of each and every student. Will easily find on-campus jobs to support daily expenses.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are supportive to all and each student. They understand the difficult situations of every student and make arrangements accordingly. They are available during most of the business hours to help academically. They will help students to shape their career.
Dislikes (Public transportation): There is selective public transport available for nearby places. It is enough to get groceries and explore nearby places. But to explore nearby places, you have to get cabs or buses which are expensive for a student. You can easily track bus routes on Internet.

Best university and also tough when it comes to assignments
Tips: Students will learn new things, and easy to get part-time jobs. The faculty here are very friendly but assignments are very tough. You need to focus more on academics and the best thing here is that there are less Indians in the class and more Americans. This way you can interact with them and learn their accent easily.
Likes (Part time work): Our college has many part-time job options. Every student who studies in the college gets a part-time job because there are very less Indians who join this university. And most Americans won't do part-time work in our university. Also, our university provides graduate assistantship opportunities.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): My college does not get many companies. It totally depends on our hard work to be placed in the companies. Also, the area where I stay doesn't have many job opportunities, sometimes we get job opportunities only by doing research about the type of programs and the companies, with our hard work and after doing internships.
