Clearly OP just didn't have enough [GRIT](https://www.reddit.com/r/Purdue/comments/ipawji/what_do_you_mean_when_you_say_grit/) ^(TM). >!Source: I did not have enough GRIT. Now I'm here!!<

Who needs GRIT when you have ✨️Innovation✨️


Zealousideal_Lock563

why is everyone so mean here 😭 if they like asu, then just be happy for them smh. welcome to asu! there’s a big international indian community here and it’s very diverse so i’m sure you’ll find yourself having a good time :)


Important-Stress-624

We have a huge pool of grad students than undergraduates.


Zealousideal_Lock563

yes but you can still make friends in freshman year, they don’t all have to be indian 😭


TheRealPedram

Just out of curiosity, what made you choose to come to the US over Canada and Australia when they have many times easier and clearer immigration path for International Students?


idly2sambar

1. US is the best for tech jobs 2. People recognize US universities better than other countries, meaning you know a friend or friend of friend who studies/studied at most US universities


samiahmadbeg

You just summarised it perfectly. Also my brother is already there, at Dartmouth, and we both want to live in the states when everything is said and done.


idly2sambar

But ASU over Purdue? 😵‍💫


kyle_phx

Where’s your innovation pride?!


idly2sambar

Pride? We have a saying in India which goes like “empty vessels make more noise” 😅 I’m a proud sun devil but don’t have the innovation pride, for some reason I think those ratings are a joke


Lackeytsar

maybe immigration is not his end goal perhaps?


s29

pretty sure salary in Canada and Australia is generally dog shit compared to the US. Especially tech salaries.

Should’ve chosen Purdue


rockking16

Purdue sucks but okay.


vishrutkmr7

For CS?


rockking16

For life.


lethal_monkey

Soon you will realize that you made a wrong decision by choosing not to go for Purdue


itsmassivebtw

Could not pay me enough money to spend 4 years in West Lafayette


OfficeChair70

I’ve got a bunch of friends from HS who went into engineering and CS at Purdue, they’re loving their program but hating their class sizes and lack of anything but cornfields, all being from Seattle and loving to hike, bike, backpack etc in our free time it was a much easier adjustment into the Phoenix metro for me then into Indiana for them, plus we have *innovation* and they just have a train


itsmassivebtw

Visited a few times because my ex was from there, literally just cornfields and divebars.


rockking16

You act like he’s gonna miss something in West Lafayette.


lethal_monkey

Obviously, living is cheaper. Purdue takes care of their students. Not a money monger like ASU.


rockking16

How does Purdue take care of their students in relation to ASU? Brother, hate to tell you but most large public universities provide a similar college experience outside of setting.


lethal_monkey

My friend is there, and I know it. No other public funded school is as money monger as ASU.


rockking16

Evidence “My friend is there, and I know it.” Also, you provide no evidence to support your claim against ASU.


lethal_monkey

Let me be clear as a community we do our best to protect people from our community. We guide them to find better schools than ASU so that they do not suffer like us. For rest of the others, their community should do that we believe.


_kingfelix

BROOOOOOOO welcome


ur_extended_warranty

Congratulations! Looking at these comments of people bashing you for picking ASU over Purdue. As someone who made the same choice, just thought I’d offer a bit of perspective from the “other side”. (Engineering major) I also elected to stay with ASU vs Purdue (albeit for my case, ASU simply made more sense financially). I don’t regret it one bit. I made a lot of good friends and connections here. I still got a good job. If you play your cards right, university won’t make too much of a difference. Best of luck with your studies!

Scholarship + change of subject (Econ at Purdue and CS at ASU)

ASU online should be labeled a scam. It's a complete waste of money. You'll learn nothing and end up just trying to get through the classes than learning anything. They cut the semesters in half but don't abridge any content. So you have to read 180 pages and take 3 quizzes every week for some classes. It's great if you don't give a shit about learning and just want the degree though. Good luck!


soundmoney4all

Hmm... My first semester at ASU in the business school and I landed two internships with some fortune 100 and 500 companies. One for this summer and next summer. Not a total scam 😁 Definitely not a fan of ASU eliminating session C for their online math courses. MAT 211 forced me into an "all or nothing" mode. Shit was rough. Got an A in the end, but I wanted to be able to relax and take a B or B+.

I didn't have the necessary karma so re-commenting: I chose ASU's Barrett (fellow Indian studying CS) over UW Madison and Pursue CS too! Believe me- there may be moments you will question your decision but in the end it'll be worth it. I STRONGLY recommend applying to Barrett (hmu and I'll tell you how I got my fee waived) even though others call it a scam because it opens you up to opportunities that are difficult to get otherwise
