Great college with good facilities
Tips: There wasn't a huge cultural shift because there are a lot of Indian students around you. But one thing that I found different was the quality of life and change in the food that we consume in our country. The stores shut down at 5:00 PM which means you will not get any food to eat post this time, but there are a few cafes and restaurants that are open till 10:00 PM. I did not avail of any scholarship. I am very much satisfied with the university, course, and country.
Likes (Post study jobs): There are many companies that offer sponsorship to work in the USA, but the current market situation has taken a toll and the companies have reduced the number of visas sponsored by them. But I believe that once the market condition is better, people will receive sponsorship from companies. The average salary package is between 100k-120k.
Dislikes (Internships): There are multiple student departments that help the students with resume reviews and assistance in internships. However, many other colleges have their own website where companies post their recent opening. Suffolk is planning to launch such a website which will be really helpful for students. There are many available internships relevant to my field of study.

The course and faculty are good. Overall, life is good here.
Tips: Students coming here should be prepared and they should know time management for the assignments that they are provided with. The course structure is perfect to understand with all the concepts being taught with most practical problems and solved accordingly, this gives us confidence.
Likes (Indian Food): The restaurants are nice and tasty and it's worth trying here. I cook by myself as the vegetables here that we get are fresh and even fruits are well coloured and sweet and tasty. The different types of restaurants help us to give our taste buds the opportunity to taste more.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good and knowledgeable. They help us in getting everything that we should be aware of and keep us updated with things. The faculty provides us with maximum problems to solve our doubts which helps to ace any situation or problem well and make us experts.
