Fall 2015 USA Universities : Facebook/G+/Mail Groups

This is a comprehensive list of groups on Facebook/G+/Mail, that we have identified for the prospective Fall 2015 students.

There are some senior students from those universities who have started these groups. Kindly find your university of interest & join them. This will be a good portal to ask your doubts & handle discussions. The seniors will be able to guide you better. This can also find you friends who are applying to same/other universities. Use this collaborative platform.

All the best !

Searching for University Group TIP :
Q : How to search for a University Group in this post (as its too big)?
Ans : Just hit "CTRL+F", this will open the search bar in your browser - and you can search TEXT, and it will take you to that location in the browser. We will be adding more universities - and once we have added, it will be difficult to search. This technique will help you find universities quickly ! 
Q : What to do, if the University Group you are applying to is NOT here/listed?
Ans : In such a case, feel free to contact us - you can comment on this post OR you can mail us at engineering.study.india.to.usa@gmail.com. We have many alumni seniors who would be able to get you help or direct you to their university link.

Money Saving Hacks for Students in USA

We thought its important to tell you guys a bunch of student hacks, to save some $money$ and also to get more value for the money you spend as a student in USA.

Shopping :

We would suggest you to buy from Amazon Student. This is the best place for a student to find the best deal in Electronics (Laptops/Mobiles/Calculators/Robots/etc.), Books (TextBooks/Papers/etc.), Winter-Clothing, even Food & Groceries!!!

Especially Used Books (available for as low as $2) are best bought from Amazon.

They have a starting promotion offer of $10, only if you join using your University Email ID (name@university.edu). And you get FREE Amazon Prime shipping (which is 2-day shipping for FREE).

To get that $10 & Prime, use the link below :

Click Here for $10 'AMAZON' Offer Link

International Phone Calling :

We would suggest you to use LocalPhone. It costs 1cent/1min on India Calling. It also has really really low rates for calling other countries.

"LocalPhone" comes as a Mobile Phone App, it works over mobile network / wifi. This is probably the best, transparent, and clean service as of today. We strongly suggest you to use this. There are other calling cards. But this stands out - because you can call almost any country at the best price, without any hassle. Its really good, has NO disruptions & NO problems. Even they have a starting promotion offer of $10.

They also provide a free 10min test call to any country. Plus your $10 starting offer - should give you about 1010mins to India. You can join using your University Email ID : 

Click Here for $10 'LOCALPHONE' Offer Link

PS : the $10 will only come after you do a pre-paid recharge for $20 or above. If you add $20, you would get $30. This is their marketing scheme. But, their service is great and has the lowest cost in market till date.

Travelling :

For travelling to grocery shops and other places, you would generally use Bus. But there may be situations when there are NO bus/train services near you, and you would want to take a cab/taxi. Problem is cab/taxi are very very expensive.

So what we would suggest you to use is Uber & Lyft. Install both Apps on your phone. They are as good as a cab/taxi, and way more cheaper than cab/taxi in general. (atleast 60% cheaper than regular cabs)

NOTE : Some of you may have an UBER/similar account in your home country. We would suggest you to create a new account to get this offer. Map the new account to your new phone number that you get.

Uber referal link for $30 (promotion offer, with this you can go upto ~20miles) :

TOEFL : My Experience & Test Day Tips!

Hello ! I am Chinmay & this is my first post for "Engineering Study : INDIA to USA". 

              

I appeared for my TOEFL on 27th October at Sangli Center. I received my result. It's 105. First things first, the center is excellent ! Administrators are very helpful, and they provide you with whatever you need during the course of the exam. This is not written anywhere else, but the Sangli center ( ITnium College of International Certification) is a prometric center. Hence you can be rest-assured about the quality of the center.

Anyway, following are some test-day tips I think all students would find useful before appearing for TOEFL :

1. Don't go into panic mode ! It's just TOEFL (& not GRE, CAT, GMAT, etc.)

2. Do take 1-2 minutes to settle down your nerves after starting Reading Section. You'll be able to grasp better and subsequently you can perform better. 

3. Dont do any kind of study on test day. It's of no use. Relax yourself ! (I watched Sachin Tendulkar's amazing cricket videos)

4. For people who are under the impression that Reading Section has lots of time, you are in fool's paradise. It takes up more time to solve questions due to the pressure.

5. Practice as much as possible! Solve practice tests only, it's enough. No need of any other books, E-books, etc. (Links I'll post at the end of this post)

6. Just bring your Passport and TOEFL Registration Confirmation to the center and nothing else is required! Bring your Passport, else you are screwed !! Administrators are extremely vigilant about it.

7. Wear Jerkins/Sweat-shirts on test-day. Test centers have AC at 18degC.

8. For writing section, just start typing. Because 20mins may seem adequate, but again, it's just about enough to proof-read your essay once. As and when you think about points to include in the essay, adjust them into the already written essay.

9. Listen and concentrate your hardest during the Speaking Section ! Many students think that if you dont yell into the microphone, your response wont be recorded. Guys, they have a voice check and microphone check before starting the speaking section!! No need to yell your head off ! You only end up muddling your own thoughts and of other students appearing for their test beside you ! Nobody benefits !

10. Try not to hesitate during speaking. It's hard, but you have to try. If you are unsure or become blank during speaking, take a pause for 1-2 seconds, then resume, but don't hesitate or stop in between sentences.

11. There's no need to rush while speaking out the responses during the Speaking section. 45/60 secs are more than sufficient to summarize the topic/conversation. If you do rush, more often than not, you'll end up messing it up..because of time limit and exam pressure. Moreover, you are being tested on your clarity, fluency and relevancy of content in your speech. It's not expected to recall ALL points from the lecture/conversation. But whatever you speak should be coherent, closely related to the topic and should summarize the topic.

12. There's no need to take writing material/scratch paper, etc to the testing center. Administrators provide you with the same !

13. Unlike GRE, for TOEFL you have to select 4 free Universities to send scores latest by 10pm the previous day of the exam. Eg: If exam is on 10th Nov, you can add,modify delete universities upto 10pm on 9th Nov. After that, no changes are permitted. To select these 4 free universities, go to "View Orders--->Click on your Order No----> Scroll down and you'll see option to send scores to Universities." After this, the process is self explanatory. If you wish to go in Engineering stream, you have to select "Physical Sciences" under department and select the branch according to your stream.

14. Administrators have the right to commence the test 1.5 hours after scheduled time. Eg: If your time is 10am, you can start the test upto 11.30am. Hence, don't be nervous if there's a delay. Make sure you reach test-center by the reporting time !
