My overall experience at UF was good. It was a great opportunity to pursue my master's program abroad as it not only helped me in gaining academics knowledge but also to understand and interact with people from different places and background.
Course Curriculum :
Course curriculum at UF is not revised as per industry requirements. They follow the same course pattern each year as far as my knowledge is concerned.
Exams :
LOR - 3 different LORs were submitted which was taken from undergrad university. SOP - Which should include the purpose of choosing a particular university CV- It includes all the education background, work experience, projects, extracurricular etc. No there was no such thing as interview rounds at UF because I applied during the time of Covid so the process was cut short.
Placement :
There is no on campus placement as such at UF. You have career fairs at the beginning of semester where you can find a lot of companies offering internships/full time for Computer science, Electrical, IT, etc branches. Most of the companies do not provide H1-B work visa so the options are a bit limited for students. The avg salary offered to ECE students is around 75000-80000$ pa.
Fees :
total tuition fee including living expense is 45000$(USD)
Scholarship :
Yes, I attained a scholarship for having commendable record at my undergrad university in ECE stream. They provided a scholarship of 4500$. There was no separate form for that.
Faculty :
The faculty to student ratio at UF is 1:17 probably depending on the course. This is mainly a research university so the faculties are mostly involved in their research work and less focused on the coursework for students. There have been few professors who teach according to the industry standard which is great.
Campus Life :
Campus life is great. There are a lot of stuff to participate in at UF apart from academics section like dance classes, sports activities, cultural events, on campus part time jobs, etc.
Hostel :
There are several student apartments near the campus where you can get all types of rooms based on your budget and requirements.
