I got into the honors college, which is a top honors college in the U.S. I was also selected for the Grand challeneges scholars program, so these factors helped me choose ASU as my university. I was also getting a good scholarship.
Course Curriculum
The course is pretty updated and very similar to what Indian universities have. But something great about the University is that there are many research opportunities for students, I myself am doing research in visual cognition with a noble prize winner researcher.
Exams
My scores: TOEFL 107, Speaking 30, Writing 30, Listening 20, Reading 27. I also gave SAT 1390/1500.
Placement
We have career fairs every week. There are companies like amazon, google, boeing coming on campus for recruitments. We also have a career services department that helps students with interview preparations, cv/resume reviews. And a handshake profile for students to connect with companies.
Internship
I have not. But I plan to do internship this summer, I have applied for many internships but I haven't heard back from them yet. I also plan to do study abroad next summer where I will go to spain for my research.
Fees
It is $22000 (rounded)
Scholarship
Yes, I have received the New American University Scholar, it is a merit based scholarship. It is for $14,000/year.
Faculty
It dependes from class to class. As I am in the honors college, our faculty ratio is typically 20(students) : 1 (faculty). But if we consider non honors students the ration is incredibly different. It can be 100:1 in some classes. Dr. Donald Fette my human event (humanity class) professor, helped greatly with improving my writing skills.
Campus Life
The campus life is awesome. We have 4 libraries, and there are more than 1000 clubs on campus. I am in 8 clubs, with an officer in two clubs. There are many opportunities for atheltes as our college has one of the best coaches, and even plays nationals.
Hostel
I am in a sharing room right now, but in this fall(2023) I will be moving to a apartment style room where I will have my private room and bathroom. I will also have a kitchen and in room laundry. Right now I have laundry and community spaces on every alternate floor of my building .
