It is good. As I should say the market is really down now. It may be challenging for freshers to land a job. But if you try hard, nothing can stop you.

I chose this college due to its nice academic structure and also good ranking of the college. I also chose this because of the environment of the college.

With respect to placements the university hosts a lot of career fairs year round, also the Student Career Services department help the students to ends from helping them build a resume to helping them initiate contact with a employer, they host a lot informative sessions which are mostly one-to-one in the form of an informal interview to an grilling interview with industry experts.

My overall experience at USF has been fantastic, I am pretty confident that this University will help me achieve my career goal, help me refine myself and help me explore the cosmos of the CS community.

I am in Research and Teaching field. Currently, I am employed in an academic and research institute of the Government of India. It's a National Institute of Technology and the average package at the entry-level is 15 LPA.

I had an internship at USF. The internship was based on a fellowship, Building Energy Efficiency Higher and Advanced Network (BHAVAN) provided by Indo US Science and Technology (IUSSTF) and the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.

I chose the University Of South Florida for its excellence in academics and stem programs and because the campus is beautiful. I chose USF based on the STEM fair that my school took us back in 7th and 8th grade and I just fell in love with the school as a whole.

I opted for this particular college because they have a very good education program. Graduates from the University of South Florida have a 99% chance of obtaining a job right out of college. I found this very appealing.

Tuition was affordable and the school was near my home. The school is clean and the people are friendly. There?s good transportation systems on campus as well as many programs to help students get used to living.
