4.8

I feel it is a great college and faculty are the best part here

Tips: It is a little costly when compared to other colleges but you get the benefits of those as well. I am very well satisfied with the university and I got a scholarship of 1700 dollars each term. If you maintain a good GPA you can get even more. So I would recommend this college.

Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is free and available most of the time. The best part is you need not wait a lot of time for the bus because there is always some of them available and those buses are really good. If you want to travel to other cities as well it is free.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I guess because the job market is quite difficult to get the job but I saw people who are able to crack the jobs of around 90k. So it's pretty good. I would suggest people who really want to do Masters choose this college. For people who want to earn money by working off campus, this might not be the correct choice.
