I had to clear GRE and TOEFL, went to Coaching classes, Dilip Oak Academy. I did not use any counselors. I had to apply for F-1 Visa. It was easy to get a Visa. Ticket booking was easy too. I flew with Lufthansa Airlines. It was good, No student fare or anything. My port of Entry was Chicago. Standard baggage rules applied. No Immigration Issues, no meet and Greet service offered.
I received assistantships.
I liked the way the program was structured. I could choose the subjects according to my needs. Professors were PhD holders, had lot of knowledge about the subject and very helpful.
I lived off campus. Infrastructure of the college was fantastic. College provides amazing sports facilities, though I couldnt utilize any of those much. There are tons of part time jobs available on campus. Off-campus, students are not allowed to work.
The University has career service center. They assist us right from building an effective resume to training us for the interview. All top companies visit the campus. Alumni is strong and very helpful.
