Master of Science in Robotics and Autonomous Systems - Batch of 2025

Offered by Boston University

4.5

Boston University is a bit expensive and the market is slow.

Tips: The city and the school are a bit expensive, and I would suggest that students have a clear or at least a vague idea of what they want to do. I would suggest they find a lab of interest and join as soon as possible. I personally got my allowance from my parents and did some parting on the campus as well.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at Boston University is very helpful. You can approach the faculty at all times. I also enjoyed the hands-on experience that some courses provided. It was fun to put what I had learned into practice. In addition, I found that the faculty was very diverse, which added to my overall experience.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are various companies that will offer to sponsor your visas. There are a variety of job roles and salary packages being offered. It totally depends on the role you are looking for. Although the market is a bit down we need to work on ourselves to stay different from others.

MS in Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2024

Offered by Boston University

An academically enriching experience with a vibrant campus life.

Tips: Boston University offers a rigorous academic experience, but it also provides plenty of support to ensure success. The faculty is deeply involved in research, and the university offers numerous opportunities for hands-on learning. It is important to be involved in student activities and clubs to make use of all the resources available. Moving to Boston was a cultural shift, especially adjusting to the colder weather and a different pace of life.

The university is decent but very expensive.

Tips: Students should know that this course gives you a glimpse of the corporate culture here and the outline of all management courses. I can pursue it just to have some international experience. ROI is not great. It is too expensive for a one-year program. It is structured well and offers the opportunity to work with real-life clients.

Expensive but worth it experience. It makes you grow and learn the art of thinking out of the box.

Tips: Students should know that there are scholarships, but mostly given to first-intake students. It's an expensive city but with a lot of diversity. There is a lot to do on campus and off campus, but international students don't mingle quicker to avail of those opportunities. BU is big on ice hockey, so if you are a true terrier, you have to watch all those games.

Likes (Student Life): The campus life is constantly happening and amazing. There are either professional or fun events happening somewhere, and the university makes sure that they are marketed well, plus there's free food and drinks. There is a BU pub on campus, and every Tuesday it is a random topic trivia night, and Wednesday is meant for karaoke nights.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are enough on-campus job opportunities, mostly revolving around the kitchen and food. For MSMS, we don't get a chance to be a teacher's assistant since it is a small programme and you are required to have completed the subject on campus before applying for the TA. But some people still worked at a maximum of 20 hours per week, but in my opinion, the pay is not that great.

Quite an adventure here.

Tips: My experience here has been a rollercoaster ride with a lot of twists and turns. There are a number of on-campus options and part-time opportunities such as research, tutoring, and on-campus stores among more. The professors are open and kind enough to help us out with doubts or questions. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
