Reason for choosing my college

• The course curriculum offered at Drexel University is something that I really got interested in. Because I come from a game design and development background, and I have loved games since childhood.
• Also, I recently developed a love for movies and filmmaking.
• Drexel offers a course curriculum that has both game development and filmmaking in the same course.

Reason for Rejection

• Rochester Institute of Technology is one of the most competitive colleges to get into.
• Also, the game design course there is the most popular.
• I met all the requirements, and in fact, I am overqualified. I do not exactly know what went wrong with the college.

• One of the most important things is keeping the LORs strong.
• Also, make sure to have projects related to the coursework; otherwise, you will end up with prerequisites.
• My similar background and strong resume made me quickly enrol in the course.

• I chose the US to do my master's because of Drexel.
• I only wanted to explore the filmmaking so that I could have multiple opportunities both in game development and films.
• I never saw any specific academic rankings or career opportunities. I went with the course curriculum and saw what fit the best for me.

• Students typically take 3 classes every quarter. I took 2 in-person and 1 online class.
• The class timings usually vary from professor to professor.
• My usual class timings and days are Tuesday at 12pm-3pm and Thursday 6pm-9pm.
• Most of the classes here are offered during the afternoons and evenings.
• There are much fewer Indians when compared to any other popular universities.
• Apart from regular classes, the rest of the free weekend is almost utilised for personal projects and assignments.

• My course has almost less than 10 students. So, it is going to be a 1:10 ratio.
• I have connected with a few of my professors so far, and everyone's being friendly and helpful both academically and financially as well.
• Yes, professors usually hire teaching assistants and research assistants to help students with their expenses.

• The university has almost 9-10 campus buildings, excluding the library, gym, and medical centre.
• There are very few festivals and events done during the initial quarter.
• But there were some notable Holi, Diwali, and Bollywood events going on every year.
• We have many clubs for different sports like Badminton, Squash, Swimming, Boxing, BasketBall.

• People usually get paid from $10/hr to $15/hr.
• It depends on the store and the role. It is pretty much okayish in terms of finding a part-time job.
• You have to keep in touch with professors and managers of specific stores to find a part-time job.
• The usual process would be applying online, but sometimes contacting the managers would also do the thing.

• With good academics, we can contact professors and keep in touch with them regularly.
• If interested, they would hire you for TA/RA if any project has funding.
• There are other on-campus jobs at Chipotle, Insomnia Cookies, and other dining areas, which occasionally hire students on campus.
• People are allowed to work for 20 hours a week.

• I have no idea about the job percentage because I never came here to work. I came here to secure knowledge and go back to India.
• As far as I know, the average salary one would be getting after graduating is somewhere around $70-130k.
• Students typically find jobs through LinkedIn, Handshake, professor contacts, etc.

• People find houses from Zillow.com, Apartments.com. There are other reality groups that offer affordable housing options to students.
• There are also WhatsApp groups for Drexel Indian students who help in finding accommodation.
• Look fast; if you drag the time, houses fill up pretty quickly, and you will be left with an expensive one.
