Arizona State University (ASU) Courses and Fees 2025

• I found accommodation via Whatsapp Groups and Discord channels (e.g., ASU Housing, Indian Student Groups). 
• Rent: $300 – $800/month (shared apartment, utilities included).

• There are many online websites present that help to find the perfect accommodation that you are looking for. Some challenges that I faced were finding the right roommates. This was a big challenge for me as I did not know anyone at ASU so I had to talk to a lot of people and then finalize my roommates.

• I opted for off-campus accommodation, which I found to be a great choice in terms of affordability and convenience. I found the place through online platforms and recommendations from student groups on Telegram and Discord.
• The monthly rent is $450, which is quite reasonable, and the accommodation includes basic amenities such as internet and utilities.
• One of the challenges I faced was the speed of securing the place due to high demand so speed was key. For future students, I suggest that you start your search early and join student groups for leads. Most Indian students tend to stay in similar off-campus housing near the university with mine located very close to campus.

I received admission offer from both ASU and UTD. So in order to choose my college, I connected with some of the existing students at that time from both universities on LinkedIn. I also researched about the course curriculum, placement opportunities, faculty before finalising my college. After evaluating all these aspects, I finally chose ASU which was better in terms of almost everything.

I liked the curriculum of robotics and autonomous systems. It also offers large number of on-campus part time jobs for the eligible students.

The course was a STEM-certified course, the curriculum is a hybrid of supply chain and information systems. ASU is a top school, especially in the supply chain domain and the short duration of the course suited my plans. The placement rate was pretty good. Despite the pandemic, almost all of my classmates have been able to secure employment in the US. Which itself says a lot about the credibility of the school as well as the course.

Hight potential for research, top in innovation and also really renowned professors.

The length of the program and costs. Given I had prior experience and education for data science and analytics, I thought a quick 2 semester Master's program would be ideal.
