- Likes:
- Research opportunities, quarter system, midterm schedule, dorms (new ones, not old ones)
- Dislikes:
- Limited recruitment straight from uni beyond a few stem courses, old dorms are poorly designed
Course Curriculum:
Course curriculum is up to date. They’re introducing a new school of computing as well, as many new majors. Had to look for experience on my side though. Not much spoon feeding as compared to private schools with dedicated recruitment channels.
Fees:
70,000 dollars for internationals including accommodation and tuition.
- Likes:
- Bright fellow students, beautiful location, great reputation. Ease of getting teaching assistantships, I got waivers/stipends of close to $15-20K because of this.
- Dislikes:
- Stressful and fast paced is an understatement. You basically have zero free time in the school year, and it feels like there’s exam after exam. Two weeks go by after the quarter starts, then you have a midterm, then another 2 weeks another midterm, and then 3 weeks and final, and repeat.
Course Curriculum:
Syllabus is great to cover the fundamentals thoroughly, especially if you don’t have any work experience in the field of Digital Design. The courses were fairly limited, so there were not too many options to choose from. Everyone from my program ended up completing almost the same courses by the time they graduated.
Fees:
It is $11K per quarter. Usually, students finish in 5 quarters, so my total tuition ended up being $55K before any waivers.
- Likes:
- The university is extensively known for research in Artificial Intelligence. Also for me the weather and California location was a main reason.
Course Curriculum:
It’s very updated and relevant. They emphasize the latest research papers and discoveries a lot and every professor is well versed in the material.
Fees:
About $60000 for total program.
- Likes:
- It is one of the Top 5 public schools in the US, apart from this: 1. Strong CS research ranking 2. Ample funding opportunities 3. California, so closer to Big tech 4. Weather is friendly,
- Access to a world-class education with top-notch faculty, opportunities for interdisciplinary research, a diverse and inclusive campus community, cutting-edge facilities and resources, ample funding opportunities with teaching assistantships and other positions, and a prime location in the heart of the vibrant and innovative city of San Diego.
- Dislikes:
- Some limitations of joining UCSD include high tuition fees and living costs. The academic environment for masters may feel highly competitive and demanding. The on-campus housing options are getting more limited with a large student population coming in.,
- With larger class sizes, it may be challenging to build close personal connections with peers and professors. Some students find the campus to be too isolated from the rest of San Diego and lacking in social activities compared to other California universities (I do feel that the beaches are great though!).
Course Curriculum:
Course is quite updated. Courses have a mix of theory, systems, and applications making it relevant for both research and industry. Curriculum is very flexible.
Fees:
For one quarter (3 months), $11000 is the fees and living will be $1400 per month. Students tend to graduate in 5 quarters on average, but can be between 4-6.
Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum is well structured. With lot of electives to choose from and covers all the essential data anaytics concepts. Industrial exposure and research experience is also great with lectures from industry leaders.
Fees:
INR 45 lakhs
Course Curriculum:
I think it's tailored more for people to think outside the box. Rather than preparing one for a specific career, it prepares students for a variety of tasks in the future. Some classes offer more broad applications of content while some are somewhat specific.
Fees:
It is broken down into school tuition, housing, and then several other activity fees. Activity fees range from a few dollars to a couple hundred.
Course Curriculum:
The course curriculum is definitely rigorous but that is what the university is known for, it really challenges students and pushes them to do their very best. But I think sometimes it is far too difficult to their point where students feel like giving up.
Fees:
Health insurance, Transportation fee, Maintenance fee, Recreation fee, Athletics fee, College activities fee, Student service fee, University Center fee, College fee, Campus activity fee, Registration fee, Tuition.
