Students should be aware of his/her shortcomings and try and improve on them as time progresses. This is a sure fire way to succeed!
I wrote GRE as well as TOEFL and I prepared for these by myself. My visa experience was good, I wasn't asked much except about my finances and the course selection. I travelled by AIR INDIA. They didn't offer any student fare. My excess baggage was shared by a fellow passenger. No I didnt find any immigration issues at the airport and the university had offered a meet and greet service.
The university offers teacher's assistantship, research assistantship and various other scholarships including rhodes etc.
The programme had been structured well and the modules were interesting. Professors were excellent in their approach but funding is scarce due to global recession.
I am staying outside campus in an apartment. All facilities ranging from sports to studies are top class. Night life as such does not exit. Social scene outside is also boring. There is an international student society and they handle various events(festivals) such as diwali,holi,independence day,republic day, etc.
There is a placement cell in the university as well as a placement process in place. It basically functions on alumni contacts, university contacts, as well as our own interest, although I am not very sure about the exact intricacies. However under ongoing circumstances the job market is down. Various organizations such as Delloit,PWC,Halliburton,Shell,visit our campus. Work permit can be attained once we have a job offer.
