ratingOverall experience

Be prepared to live in a small town. Baton Rouge is not the typical American cities we saw in movies. If you have enough conviction and motivation you can find all sorts of opportunities on campus to make your life easier. I witnessed that not many people applied for scholarships and tried for jobs. If you try a little you can gain a lot. Do not isolate yourself by only hanging with Indians. Make as many American friends as possible. Be aware that baton Rouge is not a huge commercial city. Its the political capital of Louisiana and does not have a lot of industry there. So that is a con you will have to live with compared to any other university in any other bigger city. Also, LSU is famous for its engineering courses and not management. Choose your course, university, city wisely.

ratingProcesso de seleção e admissão

I had to take the GMAT. I prepared by taking practice exams at USEFI, Delhi. I did not attend any coaching classes nor did I take the services of any educational counselor. I needed an F-1 visa. The visa interview was very smooth as I had full scholarship and an assistantship job offer letter when I went for my visa interview. Getting tickets was easy, I flew BA. I took the flight which arrived at Heathrow and departed from Gatwick. I had to change airports in London from Heathrow to Gatwick. This route enables us to take extra baggage and also is much cheaper than doing the direct Delhi-Heathrow-Houston route. Not aware of any student fare. I did not face any immigration issues at all. My university did offer a Meet and Greet service, at Baton Rouge airport, but I spent a week with my brother in Houston first and then drove to Baton Rouge, did not take any help from the meet & greet service offering.

ratingFinanciamento e bolsas de estudos

LSU offers numerous scholarships/assistantships/tution waivers. Before I even landed in the US I had a scholarship and an assistantship. I was paid for my entire 2 years of my program working for my professor and my fees were waived off. I only paid nominal fees each semester.

The program at LSU was nice. There was surely room for improvement. I was not challenged enough.

ratingexperiência de vida

I was living in on-campus graduate housing. At LSU, these were very very bare, but extremely cheap so did not complain. Lecture halls, library, sports facilities were awesome. Finding jobs was not hard at all on campus. Social scene was very dead. Baton rouge is a very small city so whatever could be done socially had to happen on campus. Weather is moderate and very similar to New Delhi’s weather. There is an international society at my univ and they have all sorts of events all year long.

ratingOportunidades de trabalho

My university surely has a placement cell. Be wise what you choose to study. If the market requires your qualifications you will get a job otherwise not, no matter how good a college you go to. A lot of companies come to the college. It is your job to keep looking up companies about to come to college, don’t wait for someone to come to you asking you for your resume, you have to go to them. Again, a little effort shown in the US goes a long way. Work permit process is no hassle at all, just follow the rules. Have not had a chance to interact with the alumni network yet. Do not waste time in the United States. Be professional. Be confident. Keep your eyes open. Dont limit yourself to a certain social environment. Take initiative. Its more than enough to take you a long way forward.
