- I love the university’s discipline and well planned education.
Dislikes
- I don’t like about placements, it should’ve provided some good opportunities at least for the foreign students.
Campus Life
- There are a lot of such facilities in the university.
Accommodation
- No idea
Likes
- Strong focus on hands-on, experiential learning through labs, co-ops, and real-world projects.
- Students come from many countries, so it’s very diverse.
- The co-op program here helps students get real job experience.
Dislikes
- Sometimes classes fill up too quickly during registration.
- Tuition and living costs are high.
- The winter weather is very cold and long.
Campus Life
- I think 3 campuses, one in the USA and other in Dubai and other in Croatia. My campus has everything: a big and wonderful library, and good gym, and all.
- Halloween and Christmas may be the major festivals, and they celebrate indian festivals like Diwali and Dussehra, and there are cultural events sometimes and hockey matches as sports, and they are the best ones to see.
Accommodation
- I found my accommodation off-campus, and I found it through a WhatsApp group. My monthly rent is $550, not much facilities, just a hall and kitchen bathroom. Not many challenges, I easily found it. It is 4 miles from my uni, and there is a bus every 30 mins which the university provides. Just look on the internet or join some random RIT WhatsApp groups, and you can easily find accommodations near RIT.

Likes
- The Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) programme at KTH was carried out at a very high quality and well structured. Students had the opportunity to work with faculty and professors on latest research and (the university) had strong connections in the industry. I remember one particular example where we went to the Siemens Energy office two hours away and got a tour of the turbines division as part of our "Thermal Turbomachinery" elective course.
- Due to its strong academic reputation, KTH attracts students not only in Sweden but from all round the world - thereby creating a diverse, multicultural and international environment. The university also presents students opportunities to study abroad through partnerships with other top universities worldwide.
- In terms of student life and support, the university offers very strong services in career counseling, academic advising, mental health resources and language support (via Language cafes). The student union is super active, planning a wide variety of social, professional, and cultural events - and they are very well organised and conducted. Plus, the library on campus has a wide range of books and articles that can be accessed for your assignments, research and even for your own use at some point.
Dislikes
- The housing system can be stressful. KTH Accommodation's rates are exhorbitant compared to the rates offered by SSSB, the general company for student housing in Stockholm. Moreover, finding affordable and conveniently located accommodation can be a real challenge.
- In terms of socialising, there is a quasi inexistant contact with the local Swedish students which is a pity if you want to try and integrate yourself into learning Swedish culture. Plus, the locals are either reserved or already have their own established circles.
- When it comes to the teaching style, I learnt that KTH's education model relies heavily on self-directed learning. I did not have a problem per se - but it can be overwhelming to others. Incoming future students better be prepared for an intense grading system, as courses often require long hours of independent work with few continuous assessments. The exams can also be up to four hours long - so it requires a very high level of concentration to be maintained.
Campus Life
- KTH has a total of five campuses presently - the main campus in Stockholm (also known as "KTH Campus," located on Valhallavägen); plus four campuses in the city suburbs - one in Flemingsberg, one in Solna, one in Kista and the other in Södertälje (called "KTH Flemingsberg," "KTH Solna," "KTH Kista" and "KTH Södertälje," respectively). However, the programs in the Kista and Södertälje campuses are being relocated to the main campus and the Flemingsberg campuses at the moment, with completion of this in 2027.
- Facilities include a world-class library (called "KTH Biblioteket"), the gym with sports facilities (called "KTH Hallen"), several on-campus restaurants/cafes, an "Equality Office" that coordinates and supports KTH's work on gender equality, diversity and equal conditions, plus study and career counselling services to help you develop effective study strategies and to make informed choices in your study situation. Not to forget, being a KTH student entitles you to well-being services provided by Stockholm Student Health Services.
- The main student organisation of KTH is the "Tekniska Högskolans Studentkår" (THS). It is run entirely by KTH students and consists of 22 different Student Chapters which are connected to different areas of study; every program belongs to a specific Chapter. Its main purpose is to monitor and contribute to the development of the education and the study conditions at KTH. The union offers skill development and networking and boasts one of the biggest student career fairs in Sweden—THS Armada. Every August and January, during the student intake periods, THS organises the THS International Reception - a welcome reception for all new master's and international students at KTH—aiming to provide various events that suit different interests but also allow students to explore new hobbies.
- The other student organisation is one called "Flavours," which mainly comprises the Indian students. Their aim is to develop and carry out activities for students at KTH to increase interaction between the Indian and international communities and to enhance the overall image of KTH as a more diversified university. It organises various cultural, diverse, and educational activities to encourage knowledge gathering of different cultures, develop their skills to work in an international environment, and share knowledge and experience from different fields.
Accommodation
- I opted for off-campus accommodation, as it is definitely cheaper than that available on campus. So we Indian students of the 2019 intake formed a WhatsApp group and decided to try and find accommodation together. Most of us were in touch with the university's team for arranging accommodation - called "KTH Accommodation." They got in touch with us - including me - and enquired about preferences before allocating us with rooms. I had no problems with them, as processes were smooth.
- Having my room contract with KTH Accommodation, I was paying SEK 4500 rent. This was with an attached bathroom, a table with two chairs and a bed. From the second year onwards, a lot of Indian students changed contracts and moved over to sign with the city's local student accommodation monopoly company - known as "Stockholms Studentsbostader" (SSSB)—albeit trying to stay within the same accommodation campus since their rates were cheaper than those of KTH Accommodation.
- My accommodation was at the next metro station and a bit of a walk away from the university - called "Lappis." Most of the Indian students stayed in three different student accommodations - either in Lappis, "Strix," or "Teknikringen" (the latter for those staying on campus), if I remember rightly.
- My advice for incoming students would be to try and enter the SSSB queue straight away so that you'll be able to get a room on one of their contracts sooner than KTH Accommodation's. Plus, the latter only allows for a one-plus-one-year basis, while you can stay on an SSSB contract as long as you prove you have courses you're still studying.

Campus Life
- RIT has one main campus in Rochester, NY. Facilities include a vast library, sports arenas, fitness centers, and medical services.
- Key events include Imagine RIT and Brick City Weekend.
- Popular clubs cover robotics, dance, and cultural groups. Extracurriculars span intramural sports, art workshops, and student organizations, offering vibrant social and cultural engagement.
Accommodation
- I chose Apex Apartments, an off-campus accommodation closest to RIT. Rent is $900-$1100/month with utilities, gym, and laundry included.
- Found via Discord groups and online searches.
- Challenges included limited availability and coordinating with roommates. Start early and check lease terms. Apex is 5-10 minutes from campus and popular among Indian students.




Likes

- World-class academics
- Understanding, friendly, and intelligent faculty
Dislikes
- Lack of healthcare access (mental health especially)
- Food is mediocre
- A few bad professors make a big impact depending on luck
Campus Life
There are hundreds of clubs available, and the campus is extremely vibrant. There is so much to do - absolutely anything you can imagine can be done. Any sport, any club, any instrument, any event can be found here. The buildings are modern, beautiful, and functional.
Accommodation
For first-year students, living on campus is required. This costs about 8,000 USD and is factored into the amount mentioned earlier. After that, you have the option of on or off-campus apartments -prices for this range from 5,000 - 15,000 USD/ year, and the amenities vary widely based on cost.
Campus Life
Facilities are excellent. I haven't had the time to participate in any extra curricular activities. Library is being renovated so it has been temporarily shifted to a different place.
Accommodation
I live in a sharing apartment, that is 2 bedroom 4 people. Rent is 370 , utilities 150 and food around 150 a month.
Campus Life
Average. Not much around. Rochester is pretty quite place and shutdown quickly.
Accommodation
You need to rent apartments. No hostel facility like in India. It's upto you whether you want to rent single room or shared apartment.
Accommodation
I have a housing off-campus as it's cheaper one as compared to on campus, always prefer to stay near to the campus for the first semester since it helps to network a lot, but the rent is high for this.
RIT is ambitious towards technical grounds as well as all other streams, it has a wide range of students coming from different backgrounds and work together on innovation and building.
