- Diverse Community: The University of Bridgeport is known for its culturally diverse student body, fostering global connections and inclusivity.
- Career-Focused Programs: Offers a wide range of programs with strong industry connections, emphasizing hands-on learning and career preparation.
- Affordable Education: Competitive tuition rates and generous financial aid options make higher education accessible.
Dislikes
- Campus Safety Concerns: Some students have raised concerns about the surrounding area’s safety, though the university has security measures in place.
- Limited Campus Size: Smaller campus compared to other universities, which may limit activities and social engagement for some students.
- Reputation Variability: While strong in certain fields, UB’s overall reputation may not be as well-known nationally as other institutions.
- I stayed on-campus throughout my course and contacted the university’s ResLife department directly using the contact information provided by the university.
- The rent was $460/month with a $250 refundable deposit, and it included utilities such as electricity, water, and internet.
- Finding accommodation was straightforward since it was managed by the university. No major challenges were faced.
- For convenience and security, on-campus housing is a great option. Start early if you prefer off-campus housing, and consider joining Telegram or Discord groups to connect with other students.
- Since it was on-campus accommodation, commuting was not an issue. Many Indian students also prefer staying on campus or nearby in shared apartments within walking distance.

Dislikes
- Very much cold weather as it is near to beach, sometimes no proper information from support, not every one but few of the members are not friendly as I faced at financial services while fee payment.
- Student to faculty ratio is more than 50+. As most of the community is Indian, I didn't felt like new experience also very less involvement with other country citizens and especially very less involvement with US citizens.
- Also everyone says that area is not that safe not sure why, after my transfer, I heard that there was a gun fire happened in university burnam hall which is food court of university.
- I found my accommodation from university groups. Try to join the university or community groups in whatsapp, telegram or facebook. These platforms might help them finding the accommodations. If this platforms doesn't helps you, then you can also search for agents online like suleka is the one. I lived in individual house and monthly rent is about 2000$ with a group of 6 people. My share is 350$ + expenses. The minimum monthly rent is about 1100+$ for an apartment and it goes high depending on the facilities you choose. The challanges that I faced while finding my accommodation was every agent asked to sign for rental agreement which is mandatory in US. Initially I didn't find enough or proper persons to share the accommodation. Later I found some one who already leased and looking for person to share. So I felt like better deal and moved for it. Universities also provide shared accommodation in campus. You can also go for it which could range 400$ or above. My campus is about 7 miles away. I used to go by public transport which could take 30 mins to reach. If you have own vehicle, then you can reach with in 10 mins. Public transport sometimes take more time depending on the availability.

- Community and culture: There are student organizations and clubs.
Dislikes
- High tuition fees: The financial burden is high and especially for international students like me it is really hard to bear the college fees.
- Overcrowded Classes: Specifically for computer science students, the classes are overcrowded but still we get attention from professors for any discussions.
I chose this university to get an opportunity to learn from experienced and renowned professors like Ausif Mahmood. Overall, it’s been a challenging yet rewarding journey, and I’m grateful for the support of professors, friends, and family along the way. It marks a significant milestone in my career journey.
Among all other university applied, this university offered me scholarship and plus the course in this university had subjects that i was interested in (like satellite design).
Swimming in college and studying my dream carriers of industrial and graphic design came together perfectly here with incredible financial aid. Our campus is only a 1.5 hr train ride to New York City which is a huge plus.
