What Students Say
Likes
- Academics is great
- It's a great option if you're planning to do a PhD in computing or informatics or human-computer interaction.
- If you want a college life, full of exciting events and parties, this is a great school.
Dislikes
- It doesn't have a wide range of courses since we have limited number of departments in the school of computing.
- In terms of getting a job, it depends on your prep, how you network, and you should have a better profile before coming to this university or any other university in the US for that matter.
Course Curriculum
- Most of these things depend on the type of course you take and the professor. According to that, the class size, class time, and the day are fixed, but for a typical course like algorithms, it would be either on a Monday and Wednesday in a week, or another batch could be on Tuesday and Thursday for 45 minutes.
- The class sizes for this kind of engineering-heavy course are usually 150. Talking about relevancy, it's pretty updated if you are enrolled in a course that talks about, let's say, AI agents, because that's a new topic that's coming into the syllabus. Usually, this is pretty updated because you can get the materials online, and the professor gives out the notes himself. In terms of industrial exposure or research experience, it again boils down to the course that you take. Some are more practical, and some are more theoretical.
Admission Experience
- I chose this university because I got my desired major (computer science) and it was cheaper in tuition, plus other things mentioned before. It's also easier to get an on-campus part-time job, which saves you some money. My experience has been unique since I enrolled in lots of unique courses that normal students wouldn't go for. That makes up for a unique experience.
Faculty
- Approximately 157 faculty to 3,813 students ratio. I am talking about my particular school which is luddy school of informatics, computing and engineering. Every professor is approachable and they are always helpful to help students and guide them. Dr. Selma Sabanovic is a great professor.
Campus Life
-
Campus life is amazing. We have lots of events every week, every single day, even. There are hundreds of clubs that could include:
- dancing
- extracurricular activities
- sports
- arts
- music
- hiking
- all sorts of things
- These are all student clubs run by student bodies. There are also research clubs like:
- Quantum Physics Club
- physics club
- chemistry club
- mathematics club
- There can also be a movie club or an anime club.
Part Time Jobs
- Securing a on campus job is pretty easy as a part timer and when you enroll in a university you usually get the student credentials and you have a dedicated portal for that you go to the portal and you apply for the part time job if you get the job you start working and you can work a maximum of 20 hours per week academic semester. Other than that you can work for 29 hours. You can also get TA or RA position relatively easy compared to other campuses.
Placement
- This is a tough question to answer, because since 2025, the job market has changed significantly. There's really no accurate number that can talk about the employment rate within the six months of completing the course.
- In terms of average salary, it can vary depending on the company or the role or the city that you work in, but it would usually go between 100k and 130k.
- Campus recruitment for my university is pretty low because the computing school here is relatively new. It does have events such as a career fair, but it's not helpful. You would have to network on your own on LinkedIn and other job portals. It's mainly about you as a student, building your own network, and attending research or industrial events outside of the campus.
Accommodation
- The best way is to join whatsapp, discord and other student groups, which you can find by contacting the international students office here. Monthly rent varies between 300 - 700 per month and other utilities cost is a relative matter (depends on your lifestyle) but its usually 100 dollars or more per month.
Exams
- GRE is not required. IELTS: minimum of 7 should suffice but it's better if you have an 8. Letters of Recommendation and a good GPA in your undergrad is important.
- IELTS or TOEFL, GRE (but they don't ask for it as most universities have waived it off).
- Statement of Purpose, LOR, CV, GPA)
Fees
- The best way is to go to the official university website and search for the relevant department and check the tuition cost there, because the tuition varies on a yearly basis.
