Good college environment and the transportation is mostly accessible.
Tips: After coming here students should need to adjust to the freezing cold weather in winter. As far as scholarships are concerned you should ask for more scholarships from the university once you get your admission offer letter. This University is average and the course is also average.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is nearby Downtown, and it is well connected to the whole city and you can find shops, grocery stores, and other convenient stores around the university. There are different modes of transport available, like buses and Uber. With your student ID, you can travel anywhere in the city for free in the TARC bus. 
Dislikes (Internships): You have to find an internship on your own because internship programs run by the university barely help anyone. But there are not many opportunities as it's not a big city or IT hub, so you need to try hard and get some opportunity that comes your way. Jobs here are more focused on the data science domain.
