Likes
- Course work designed by engineers from the industry
- Lab equipment upto industry standards
- Career fairs
Dislikes
- Extremely remote location makes it hard for anyone to travel to nearest big cities
- Harsh weather conditions
- Not suitable for computer science engineering
Campus Life
- We only have one campus and a few buildings located around it, all within a 2-mile radius.
- All facilities and available and due to the lower number of Indian students, fewer activities are conducted for Indians.
- But overall, a good number of activities happen around which are hard to find sometimes due to high academic work and a lower number of indian students to assist in case of newer events.
Accommodation
- Accommodation is simpler compared to other universities.
- Everyone gets to apply for on-campus housing and 95 per cent of students will receive housing on campus.
- Student housing is 0.5 miles from the campus. Monthly rent is around 400 per student in a 2br apartment.
- Off-campus housing is easier to find as well since not many students live around and it's a small university town.

Campus Life
- We only have one huge campus in Houghton, but we do have different research centers across Michigan. Yes, we do have an entire recreation center for sports, which is just one mile away from campus. We have many sports clubs, universities, as well as local town festivals, especially during winter with snow as well as summer.
- Michigan Tech is known for mechanical and mechatronics departments; usually these departments are good at securing jobs within six months of their graduation.
- Salary depends upon departments and states they get into in the USA. Michigan Tech has a career fair going on every semester where various companies across Michigan as well as other states come and interact with tech students.
Campus Life
There are around 200-300 organizations that you can become a part of. Almost every other weekend, some event is organized either by the university or these organizations. There are a lot of activities that one can do here such as skiing, hiking, trekking, etc. Tech has a development complex that is freely accessible to all students and has all the facilities including a gym, swimming pool, various clubs. It has its own ice hockey arena where national level matches take place.
Accommodation
Michigan Tech provides a number of off-campus and on-campus housing options. They are very affordable. Undergraduate accommodations are very cheap and provide you with all the amenities. It is a really small town and everything is within walking distance.
Campus Life
I speak for the Indian community and there are a lot of Indian fellow people found on the campus. We have a large Library and have a huge selection of books. He has many clubs and fests happening on campus.
Accommodation
I cook my own food which costs me around 50 dollars per month. We also have dining halls where you can buy tickets and have the food. We also have restaurants near us to get the food. The price depends on the plan
