My college experience has been a great one. The faculty are nice and always ready to help.

Tips: Since I live and commute from outside off campus, the traffic and time can be a bit overwhelming. It does make me feel like I am missing out on a lot going on on campus. To compensate, I have joined some of the clubs that help me feel involved and engaged. Engage with your peers and enrol in outside-of-classroom programs to experience true learning.

Very thankful for the opportunity here.

Tips: I have liked the accommodation and university quite a bit so far but I feel there could have been more options for meal plans especially as I am a vegetarian and it can become tricky to find more options. There are a lot of inter-college games that keep happening and is fun to look forward to. Sign up for a variety of different courses so you can get an organic experience. Overall, I am quite content with my experiences.

Had a great time throughout with great people.

The faculty here are very helpful, and interactive and will suggest and guide you to take part in several activities to grow. Overall, I am happy with my experience.

Helpful and an engaging experience with dedicated faculty members.

Tips: I was pleasantly surprised at how welcoming and accepting the people both inside and outside of campus are. Because of its popularity, campus can sometimes feel crowded and overwhelming so plan your class schedule and look for peaceful spots on campus. There are lots of events/activities happening so be a part of it. The faculty is great and will help you with any problems. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, college and the country.

An overall good university to join

Tips: 1. Part-time job on campus is difficult to find. 2. There are people who help you to find an internship or a job but in the end, you have to search for it. 3. Food options are there for every kind of cuisine, veg, and non-veg as well. And many stores are also nearby.
