I chose this university because of following factors- 1. Funding in the form of a TA position 2. Opportunity to delve into an exciting field of research (AI in smart manufacturing) 3. One of the top 150 universities in the world. Overall, it is challenging at times, it was an invigorating and rewarding experience and equipped me with a diverse set of skills from AI to biomechanics.

While I wasn't very active in campus activities, there was no dearth of relevant campus events. However, most of them seemed to be catered towards undergraduate students.

I chose this university because of following factors: • Courses - flexibility in selection & wide range of courses • Affordable tuition fees • Good ranking for Industrial Engineering Overall, it was a new and unique experience, could explore diversity in terms of people, infrastructure, events, food. Had to take academics seriously. Good faculty support. Different approaches by different professors for teaching.

There are indeed a lot of clubs, unlimited fast WiFi, two great gyms, modified lab for research, updated computer systems.

3 LORS AND SoP were required. Skillsets directly related to field of study and reason for (if applicable) shift in field of study No I didn’t have any round of interviews. The best college out of current choices with a great program for my area The perfect college experience except for the weather which is very violent. We experience temperatures as low as -20. The crowd is good as the town is a university town and so we’re always surrounded by the people of same age group. Uni definitely has a party town reputation but it’s the best of both worlds. Connecting with people is slightly hard due to very undiluted crowds and still some racism

As compared to other colleges the Indian diaspora is very low which is good and bad. A lot of extra curriculars. Student support is provided in terms of free (limited) groceries provided every Thursday, free food is not hard to find.

The university has amazing CS program and also have a balanced student life hence I chose this university. I would like to say my 1st semester was a mix and match of mixing in academics and also living alone which was nice.

There are more than 100 clubs in the university and almost all the extracurricular activities that you can think of. The sports are very competitive and the WIFI connection is amazing.

My experience has been very positive, got to learn so much from professors and peers and also have fun with other graduate students.

Campus infrastructure is very good. Each department/school has clubs and organizations that hold meetings/game nights/social events to get to know each other and have fun. In addition, there’s also a lot of academic related events conducted by each professor.

The overall experience at this university has been transformative. It encompasses academic learning, personal growth, and the formation of lifelong friendships. Engaging lectures, diverse extracurricular activities, and exposure to different perspectives contribute to a well-rounded education. The university experience fosters independence, critical thinking, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Campus life is absolutely amazing with so many things to do on campus like club activities, international student events, technical events, and so on. There are two incredible recreational centers inside campus equipped with courts, swimming pools and multi-floor gyms. Inside the campus, UWNet is a free Wifi that is provided which is very quick and the signal is great throughout the campus!
