No particular advice as such but probably prefer the west coast as it is much much better as compared to east.
I wrote GRE as well as TOEFL and I took coaching from Dilip Oak Academy. My visa experience was good. I wasn't asked much except about my finances and course selection. I travelled by Lufthansa via Frankfurt to Philadelphia and then bus from philadelphia to state college. They didn't offer any student fare. I did not have any excess baggage and I didn't 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.
I was happy with the way my programme been structured. Professors are excellent in their approach I have a teaching assistantship (TA).
I stayed outside campus in an apartment. All facilities ranging from sports to studies are top class. Night life is good. There is an international student society, they handle various events (festivals) such as diwali, holi, independence day, republic day.
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 interests. However under ongoing circumstances the job market is down. Various organizations such as Delloit, PWC, Halliburton, Shell, Dow Chemicals, Samsung, Cummins, visit our campus. Work permit can be attained once we have a job offer.
