Colleges Where I Was Accepted

  • The program provided me with practical experience in software development, cloud computing, and data-driven technology.

Colleges Where I Was Rejected

Reason for Rejection

  • Those are high-scoring universities, and because of my source, I didn't get my admission and high-reputation universities too, with high curriculum courses, and mainly I didn't get matched to my course and also that's the only reason I didn't get admission.

  • Search methods: a lot of university groups for accommodation, and university portals also provide info about accommodation and some websites like Willow, Facebook Market, and Rent.com.
  • Re-accommodation will be the big challenge if we want to change the accommodation, then we have to replace or break the lease; those are very big challenges.
