My Experience as an International Student
06/05/2024 | Palash Vyas, Ph.D, Graduate Research AssistantIn the summer of 2017, after finishing my bachelor’s, I decided to leave India to pursue my ambitions. I had grown up around engineering: My dad was a mechanical engineer, which fueled my interest in engineering as I always saw him working on complex HVAC projects. After high school, I took competitive exams and was admitted to the University of NMIMS in Mumbai to pursue mechanical engineering. After graduating with my bachelor's degree, I felt a strong desire to delve deeper into the field. Pursuing a master's degree abroad seemed like the perfect way to gain this in-depth knowledge, so I decided to apply to U.S. universities because I saw them as world leaders at the forefront of technology and research.
