I initially was attracted to Krea because of its international tie ups. Can someone let me know more about it—especially more so about Northeastern College. Thank you
Sooo I've been admitted to Krea and I'm still trying to figure out if it's the right fit for me. Academics aside (which I know is good), i want to get a real sense of what life is actually like on campus and how is the social life. If you're a current student and wouldn't mind chatting, please DM me i would really appreciate it.
confused between flame and krea and need help.
some friends at krea told me it's not the safest place. apparently there's this admin guy called satya who assaulted a student and was also behind some food poisoning incident?? and he's still in admin?? still has a big role there??
idk if it's true but if someone like that is still walking around with authority, it makes me wonder what else is being swept under the rug.
like i genuinely want to go to krea. the academics make sense for me and i'd get to stay home (since i am from chennai) but this stuff is hard to ignore.
has anyone heard anything about this? or been to either school? would really appreciate some real opinions.
I know this question gets asked every admission cycle but I felt that answers targeted more specifically to me would help a bit more than all the threads I seem to have read so far.
I’m an IBDP student from North India (have lived in Chennai before if any of that matters) and I currently have offers from both Krea and FLAME for Economics + Data Science.
I also have a 25% scholarship at Krea, although cost honestly is not the deciding factor for me here.
Over the past few weeks I’ve gone pretty deep into researching both colleges curriculum structures,LinkedIn profiles,placement reports ,internship patterns,Reddit threads,faculty backgrounds, student reviews and I think I’ve confused myself more than anything
From what I’ve understood so far:
FLAME online has this reputation of being:
Very social/party-oriented
Surface level
weaker academically
BUT the Eco + DS dual degree (A BSc.)itself actually looks pretty rigorous and extensive from what I’ve seen. A lot of the profiles I found from that course seem to land in fairly similar internships/roles to Krea students too.(Ey analysts, equity research firms, MBA or other masters at pretty good abroad colleges)
Meanwhile Krea seems to present a much more academically focused student culture. From what I’ve read, professors are very approachable and if you’re proactive, you can get a lot out of the environment academically/research-wise.
My situation differs a bit because I’m currently leaning toward:
-working for a few years after UG
-possibly finance / analytics / consulting
-and then doing a master’s later
So I’m trying to understand how the two environments differ for someone with that trajectory.
Naturally I land at these questions:
Is the academic/intellectual difference between students at Krea and FLAME actually very noticeable in day-to-day life?
Are serious students at both colleges getting strong placements/internships or are LinkedIn profiles giving me a bias?
At FLAME, is the “party/rich kid/corporate polish” stereotype exaggerated?
At Krea, does the smaller campus and Sri City isolation become mentally draining after a while?
Do you think the level of challenge that both courses from the two uni provide has a big difference
6.Anything you would tell me that I have failed to find online.
I don’t need some Bollywood-level college social life or parties every weekend, but I also don’t want to spend 4 years socially dead
Ideally I’d still want a solid friend group,occasional outings/trips,drinks with friends once in a while
And finally:
If you could genuinely go back and choose again, would you still pick your university?
Willing to listen to anyone with half an opinion. Thanks!
I got into Krea university 2030 batch and I was wondering since the last date of payment for the acceptance fee is 21st of May should I go ahead and pay? will I get refunded? the school I really want to go to is a symbiosis school for liberal arts and that decision hasn’t come out yet. if I pay right now to lock my seat will I get the full refund if I decide to cancel my admission?
I wanna know how many of yall have accepted the offer, if so, what guided your decision?
