I found the faculty and courses to be interesting and there's a high chance of getting funded here. It has good research opportunities; although I did not take advantage of them.
Course Curriculum
The course content is very relevant and diverse; there are accomplished faculty members in various areas of CS.
Exams
My scores: GRE 164 Verbal 165 Quant 5 Writing; TOEFL 114/120
Placement
The university organizes job fairs and a lot of local companies visit them, but that doesn't do much for placement. You've to apply online to most places no matter what happens at the job fairs.
Internship
Interned at amazon.com which paid about 6-7K per month. Online application and interviews.
Fees
~$15K per semester without funding. ~$250 per semester with funding.
Scholarship
No
Faculty
The vast majority of the faculty is very approachable. In some classes the ratio can be as low as 1:10, while some of the popular or mandatory ones can have close to a hundred students in one class. Even in those cases, the course was usually fun and assistance was always available.
Campus Life
There's free wifi on campus. There's an association of Indian students who organize events specifically for the Indian students and offer a lot of help to new students coming in. The university has a decent number of general events as well throughout the year for those who're interested.
Hostel
Renting an apartment with roommates will be the most convenient option; on campus options are limited. If you're willing to share a room you could probably find a place for around $400. $700-$800 might be possible for a private room.
