• Semester 1 was 15K USD, semester 2 was 16K USD, semester 3 was 16K, and last semester it was 7K.
• The total fee is 55k usd, and living costs roughly 500 to 600 USD per month, around 15k USD for room sharing for 2 years.

• The MS CS course at ASU is fairly challenging but manageable, with a good mix of theory and hands-on work. I liked the flexibility in choosing courses and the strong research focus, though some popular classes do get crowded.
• Usually, I had 1–2 classes a day, mostly between 9 AM and 5 PM. Most classes had around 100–200 students, and there were plenty of Indian students around, which felt nice and familiar.
   

• It cost me around $69000, which included a tuition fee of about $37000 and the rest of it was living expenses. Fees are charged for each credit and we need to pay them each semester.
• My monthly expenses used to be: rent - $500, food - $250, miscelleanous - $1000 to $2000. The actual monthly expenses would largely depend on the individual's personal choices as well.

• Course Curriculum is extremely updated and helps us gain knowledge on cutting-edge technologies.

• USD 55000 (Including Tuition, Health Insurance etc., ).

• Online platforms are facebook, ASU slack, watsapp groups. Getting good flatmates at good times. I do recommend using ASU slack,watsapp groups. Connecting directly with accommodation authorities. Networking with friends Contacting with leasing authorities Posting in facebook using zillow website,facebook.

• The course curriculum is of medium difficulty level with a mix of theoretical and practical classes.
• The positive aspect is the extensive variety of electives and research, and the negative aspect is the workload.

• Monthly expenses are around 500 which includes the accommodation, food, electricity and other utilities.
• The transportation is free and there is bus facility.

• The course differs from what we study in India , here it is more distributed into the whole semester rather than on few exams . Here you will have to work throughout the semester and the weightage of final exams are very less.assignments have equal importance as of exams and there is almost a mandatory project in each subject which has a 30-40% of marks of your whole subject.
• Only negative points can be that the way of answers they expect in the exam may differ a bit from our experience in India , here a strict structure is followed in my opinion .
• Students have 6 classes of 1.25 hours each week .2 classes typically per day . for 3-4 days 
• There are approx 100-120 students in each class. In my courses of CSE there are approx 100-120 students out of which most are Asians and majorly Indians .

• Fee breakdown : 17k+17k+17k+7k dollars approx for my 4 semester degree (2 years).
• I live off campus so no hostel fee .
• You have to submit fee each semester.it is based on credits you take each semester.
• If you decide to live off campus then 600 dollars is the approx rent per month and another 200 for you grocery etc.most of the apartments are nearby so there is no transport cost.there are some free buses that go across campuses and nearby areas.

• There are only a few courses which are difficult but they are very practical and you get to learn a lot from these courses. are very difficult to get into though. 
• Classes - usually 2 classes for each course and mostly 3-5 classes per week, usually from 8 am to 4pm. Each class is 1:15 hours. The average number of students in our class is around 140. Indian students in MSCS is 90% but 20% if you get into a business course. 
• Positive: Very practical and deep dive into topics and professors are very experienced (Course: SML, AI, DPS)
• Negative: Hard courses take all your time in projects and assignments making it hard to do anything else (job applications or social).

  Fees is charged semester-wise

• The difficulty level of the course curriculum depends on the classes you're choosing. Overall, the course curriculum is on the easier side. Almost all my classes are 70% theoretical and 30% practical.
• The positive side is I can explore courses in various concentrations like big data, distributed systems, etc. There are a lot of courses to choose from. The negative side is some faculty just read from slides and are not interested. So, it is important to look at the ratings of the professor before taking the class.
• Most of the faculty members don't assist students in their professional careers, whether they are part-time or full-time.
• I like Fish Wang. His software security course is really challenging and he is really good at making students understand difficult concepts.

• The entire fees for my course is 54,000 dollars, including tuition, health insurance, miscellaneous fees, etc.
• It is charged semester wise and it is credit-based.

The course Curriculum is quite good. Professors update it regularly and we get to study the latest technologies present. Research experience is given to students who are interested.

The tuition fees keep increasing but to be estimated it goes around 59k dollars.

Course Curriculum is very well designed at ASU. The course include Projects, and were aimed to test everything that you learnt during the session. the projects mainly focused on using the real-time applications, like AWS was used in the course Cloud Computing.

Each subject is of 3 units and per unit fee at ASU is $1600. Apart from this the per semester fee also includes insurance, gym fees and international support fees.
