Dreams do come true!!

Arizona State University is known for the high acceptance of Indian students there. So it kinda gives you an abroad feel but you can always have Indians around so that you don't get lost. Arizona is close to California which means it attracts a lot of great companies due to which students get a good amount of opportunity to crack intern and full-time roles.

The IT course was pretty straightforward and easy. You will have a lot of time to hone your data structures and algorithms skills, which is great. The professors are very helpful and always reachable. You will have good support from the polytechnic school for any course-related help

The main employers are Amazon, Intel, Starbucks, and Tesla. And depending upon what kind of role you would you applying for, the median salary would differ. For example for SDE - 100,000 - 130,000 USD.

I had one on-campus job which paid 14 USD per hour. I did do an internship and started full-time straight.

The overall I20 cost was 50, 000 USD which is pretty fair compared to some of the very expensive universities. Also, the living expense is on the lower side compared to other states. I took a loan from HDFC for carrying out my expenses.

The scholarships are merit basis, But the deadlines for the same are very early, so in case you wish to apply for it, make sure you have the deadlines in mind. But there are also chances to get a few scholarships to post joining. Those again will depend on your GPA and how you perform.

Amidst corona, a lot of things were contained, but still, the university made sure that they are organizing events every day to keep the students from burning out.

I rented out an apartment near the campus. They are quite good and if you invest a good time in finding one, you can get houses very cheap. Depending on how you plan your stay, the house rent comes to around 400 - 900.
