- Good amount of electives and courses offered.
- Very learned and experienced Professors.
- Lot of cultural and social activities to engage students.
Dislikes
- The coursework becomes hectic with 4 subjects per semester.
- The tuition fee and cost of living in New York are a bit more expensive than any other college.
- Very competitive group of students.
Course Curriculum
10
- Yes, the course curriculum is tough, as four subjects per semester get very hectic.
- The courses are inclined more towards theoretical knowledge.
- Classes are 1.5 hours long and typically two classes in a day are scheduled. Most classes have 80-100 students
- There would be around 30-40 Indian students in a batch of 200 students in the MSCS program.
Fees
- The fee is semester wise and for each semester, it's around $34000, which includes tuition fees, health insurance and college activity fees.
- The tuition fees are credit-based, around $2500 and in every semester a student should complete 12 credits minimum.
- Monthly expenses range from $1800-$2000 which includes rent, groceries, utility bills and transportation.

- Courses - suited my expectations
- Research opportunities - easy to interact with professors and research groups
- Student life - plenty of opportunities, New York is a great place
Dislikes
- It is a very flexible program, so it feels like there is a lack of direction at times.
- There were definitely some issues with the variety in courses experienced in the Spring semester.
- There are a few disruptions due to the ongoing situation.
- There are online platforms like Zillow that we used to find suitable units. We had to go through an agent, had to pay a deposit and agency fee and had to have a guarantor. A recommendation would be to join the whatsapp communities as early as possible.
- Most people would be looking for people to room with, and the process would go a lot smoother with other people to help you out.

- Campus, Location, Professors, Connections.
- I love how everyone here is very smart and great to network with.
- The diverse experience I think is the best part.
Dislikes
- The protests that are happening, are a pain.
- I don't like the fees of course its too much and very less scholarship options.
- Better transport service go campus, right now its pretty bad.
- Search online platforms, Street Easy, Zillion, talk to brokers; I would say go for college housing. It sounds expensive at first but with utilities, its the same as leaving campus. Trying to find an apartment without visiting it can be very difficult. Be aware of scammers; search the realtors; try finding one near campus so you can use the campus shuttle to travel.

- Location in NYC and proximity to some of the greatest landmarks and places in the world.
- Professors both tenured and adjunct professors, all of who are distinguished and have excellent track records of academic publication and actual practice.
- Institutional networks with top policy and finance organizations.
Dislikes
- Recent handling of student protests and overall administration response to student issues.
- Extremely expensive due to its location.
- Some of the infrastructure in the School of International Affairs is quite dated compared to the business school
Course Curriculum
4
- The curriculum can be advanced depending on what your level of undergraduate experience is. There are advanced courses in economics, accounting, policy making, and a few others. The rest are electives and can be selected from intermediate to advanced.
- Classes are usually held anywhere between 9 am - 6 pm, but you have flexibility in picking your own schedule. Generally, it’s a good idea to take technical courses in the field you want to practice after graduation, such as finance, or accounting, or data analytics. This way you can use class projects to demonstrate skills and experience in specific areas that are listed in the JD of a job you are interested in applying for.
Fees
- Tuition was 75,000 USD per year, broken into two payments one for each semester. Monthly expenses are approximately USD 5000 including rent for a studio apartment in NYC.

Likes
- Academic rigor and diversity of courses, like joining clubs and organizations (e.g.,debate team, literary magazines
- I like the fact that there's world-class faculty and research opportunities in my school
- Exploring the nearby American Museum of natural history
Dislikes
- What I disliked is the high tuition fees and living costs in school
- There is limited availability of housing, especially for upperclassmen
- Distance from family and friends (for out of state/international students)
Course Curriculum
8
The eligibility for the program is minimum GPA requirements (varies by program, but typically 3.0 or higher). The number of credits required by master of science programs at my school is the typical range of 30-45 credits. It has added value to my academics by enhancing my knowledge and expertise, specialized courses and cutting-edge research opportunities deepen my understanding and skills in the field.
Fees
The mode and terms of fees payment are through online payment through my school website and wire transfer. Grants is one need base funding including federal Pell grants with institutional grants and assistantships, teaching or research positions, offering stipends and tuition waivers.

Firstly cause of the focus on diversity and multiculturalism. Secondly, it’s an IVY league. Third, future prospects and licensing. Fourth, located in New York City. The course are highly stimulating. The focus on experiential learning is something I appreciate. They also focus on multiculturalism and diversity which I value as an international student.
I didn’t get on campus accommodation but that’s pretty good otherwise looking for houses is difficult. Average rent is $1400 per person.

- I accepted it for the reputation, career opportunities, location and courses.
- It has a great reputation and is located in New York City, with close access to large corporations and an extensive network. The courses offered at the Business School is really informative and interactive. The people are really helpful.
Dislikes
- Columbia is smaller than the other ivy league institutions in the US. The classes at the engineering school are heavily quantitative, and I found it less useful compared to the more business school classes, due to my focus on pursuing a consulting career.
Course Curriculum
8
The course syllabus was a combination of engineering, quantitative classes, and more interactive, practical business school classes. We worked on 3 projects, as part of our curriculum, giving us exposure to a real life consulting project.
Fees
$2000 per credit, and 38 credits were required to graduate. So, a total of $76K for just the course fees.

- MS Data Science program is a well know program by Columbia University with renowned and distinguished Professors.
- The courses, both academic and professional developmental helped me learn more about myself - my strengths and weaknesses and how to build a work oriented lifestyle which would help me in the long-run.
- The college campus is ecstatic, and the libraries provide a beneficial space to study with a clear mind and focus. I like the way events are organized and students are encouraged to pursue their goals.
Dislikes
- I do not like the location of the university as it in not in the middle of a happening area. Although it stretches various streets in New York City, it is not an eventful place. This is the only aspect which I do not like.
Course Curriculum

The course curriculum is hectic I would say, as the program is structured for 1.5 years only. The syllabus is industry oriented and updated to current trends(chatgpt is included in the syllabus).
Fees

- This is an Ivy League University. its one of the best and most elite universities in the world offering first class facilities and academic education to students.
- The University is really great. There are tremendous amount of resources available for each student.
- The academic curriculum is really intense but every bit worth the efforts.
Dislikes
- Nothing. So far I haven't encountered anything that I would say I dislike about this university. Maybe for students who are vegetarians, its a bit challenging due to lack of veg options available for eating. But with time one becomes used to it.
Course Curriculum
10
Yes the course is amazing. A lot of real market exposure.
Fees
The cost is pretty high, at par with a master's course for an international student at Columbia University. It keeps on getting updated each semester and can be found from the program website.

Excellent course. 100% updated. In fact we're not only learning how the industry operates currently, but what it should be moving towards. I've been working as a TA in my second semester, and also participated in some competitions to gain experience
Fees
Its about $30,000 per semester. My course is 3 semesters. This does not include the rent, general expenses or health insurance.
