The campus is a huge and the experience till now has been very memorable and fun filled. The courses offered by my department are very interesting and challenging. The place gets really cold during the winters so students should be prepared for a severe winter. But this must not deter students from coming here because even the snow falling is fun!!
My university has the Wolverine online system for its application and my department is a separate department SNRE. The visa process is not cumbersome because its all done online. On the day of the visa dress formally and be confident when speaking to the interviewing officer. Take all appropriate documents and prepare answers for some typical questions.
The courses are very relevant to the present day scenario. They talk about sustainable developments, industrial ecology etc which are very pertinent in today's plight of the earth. These are taught by experts in this field which makes it even more interesting. The course material is accessible at all times on the net which I feel is the best part. This way we can concentrate better in class without the need of making notes. There is no funding for MS students at least in the first year, but there are plenty of opportunities for part time employment. I feel the experience here is surely worth the money I am spending for the education.
The facilities are really cool, there is a huge gymnasium, lots of tennis courts, swimming pools etc the pictures of which can be seen on the net. Philadelphia is pretty close by which is a nice city to explore. Downtown here is also a nice place to hang out. During winter there is ice skating which is also fun and enjoyable. There is an Indian association which helps all incoming students and has events on campus. Apart from this there are other recreational clubs on campus.
Job fairs on campus help with placements. Some of the students also continue for a PhD degree.
