The curriculum of the courses has been ensured to be relevant in the modern market as well as future markets. All aspects of business are taught as well as the opportunity to take general education courses will ensure all round development.

The fee is around $50,000 per year.

I found the course curriculum to be very updated and enriching. There are various requirements such as breadth and depth requirements that ensure that each student knows core areas well and specialises in area of their interest. There is also a requirement to pass efficiency test in one foreign language (German/French/Russian). This is very helpful because some research papers are not written in English. Various seminars are also conducted that help students. I found their academic approach very holistic and based on learning and knowledge instead of being a race for grades. Each student is also assigned an academic mentor (a faculty) and a peer mentor (a senior PhD student) for personalised guidance throughout the program.

I chose to this university because it has great faculty working in the area of my interest (Functional Analysis and Operator Theory). At IIT Delhi, we follow books written by authors that have worked/studied at Indiana University. In fact, my current supervisor (Prof. Hari Bercovici) at IU was my top choice because I was inspired by a book written by him. His research credentials are amazing and that’s what matters the most in PhD. The university’s math department ranks 34 and it’s situated in Bloomington which is a very pleasant place to live. I also had offers from - University of Oregon, University of California (Davis) and NYU(unfunded).

The course is very relevant to current affairs and the faculty will go out of their way to make it relevant to the current situation. It is a fairly competitive business program with great placements. Getting a high GPA is not difficult and as of now I have not been given any research experience but I'm sure in the following years I will be.

The current course curriculum I am taking at Indiana University has been challenging, but overall pretty manageable. I like my classes and my professors are very helpful. The material gets hard but office hours are very helpful and so are the free tutors.

There are a bunch of different fees for living on campus freshman year but most were not that expensive. Instead of buying my textbooks from the bookstore on campus I rented them off of amazon for way cheaper.
