Hostel:

Undergraduate students reside in residential dorms. Being a graduate student, I stay in graduate residences. The rent is $670. I share my apartment with my roommate. I have a separate room, however, the kitchen, common area, and restroom are shared. The apartment is medium-sized. I chose this option because it is closest to class. Cheaper living options are available on the outskirts of campus.

Scholarship, the STEM designation, getting 2 degrees, and the reputation of the University and its alumni network.

Personal interaction and teaching to benefit my studies. I also started out with no friends so I had to go out of my comfort zone to meet so many new people. This university has allowed me to develop my confidence, interaction with others and my academic skills.
