Northeastern University has a competitive and opportunistic learning environment.
Tips: Northeastern University is a prestigious institution that provides a lot of opportunities to its students. The faculty are highly qualified, knowledgeable, and experts in their fields. The university also provides a lot of opportunities for its students to get comfortable in the workforce. During your four years, you'll have two co-op opportunities, which will give you a chance to make money and help pay for school while gaining hands-on experience. The public transportation system is convenient, accessible, and affordable. You can easily explore any part of the country. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences here.

The challenges, growth and opportunities at Northeastern University.
Tips: Adapting to a cultural and academic environment was both challenging and enriching. I didn't avail of any scholarship as it's very difficult to get for international students for some courses. I am very satisfied with the course and the country although I found Northeastern a bit expensive than other universities.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected to the rest of the city via public transportation. There are trains, buses and bikes available at very low prices. We have both bus and train stops at the campus which makes it very easy to travel. Also, there are monthly student passes available at fairly low prices if you travel a lot using public transport.
Dislikes (Part time work): It is very difficult to get an on-campus job at Northeastern University because there are a lot of students and the jobs are comparatively very less. The average payout is $14/hr for part-time work. Having a part-time time is manageable because you can schedule your shifts according.

Very limited opportunities for jobs/part-time for International students.
Tips: I didn’t experience anything new as there are too many Indians. I have not availed of any scholarships either. It’s very tough to be in the eye of professors as there are way too many students to compete with. I am not that satisfied with the University's facilities.
Likes (Indian Food): Chipotle - 11$, El Jefe- 11$, Pizza - 2$ a slice, Fries - 3$ in the University. For Starbucks, there are schemes on weekdays in the University. Apart from this we have a Postmates app and Door dash too from where we can order food. It gives a lot of discount coupons to students and it’s very beneficial.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many restrictions to apply for jobs and internships. They have a GPA criteria to be followed. Opportunities for international students are very limited. I am not recommending this university- definitely go to a cheaper one. This university is not worth it.

Good experience and the college provides lots of on campus events for networking.
Tips: The people are friendly and helpful, and the academics are excellent. However, there are no scholarships, so tuition assistance is not guaranteed. There are lots of networking events, which I find very helpful. I'm pretty satisfied with my experience here, and I hope the job market improves soon so that students can find jobs more easily.
Dislikes (Part time work): Student intake is very large. This makes it very competitive to get an on-campus job. There are not many openings compared to the number of students. Emailing professors for TA/RA roles sometimes helps. Off-campus work is illegal on an F1 visa. The pay is pretty good, starting at $20/hour for TAships. The workload isn't too bad.

3.1
Northeastern University has good faculty and curriculum.
Tips: Students should know that they will have to study to get good grades as grades are important to get an internship or a coop. This is beneficial for your full-time offer. The living expenses are high compared to other cities and the fees are also a bit on the expensive side. College life is great because there are a lot of Indian students and the food options are great too. The campus is great with quite a lot of facilities and amenities. Overall, I am satisfied with my experience.
Likes (Public transportation): The city is well connected and has a lot of public transport options going in and out of the city. The MBTA is quite efficient with the timings and all the transport has really good connectivity throughout the city. The tram and bus are good options for people with accessibility.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on-campus jobs are very less in number due to the city being around the whole campus. The number of students coming in at Northeastern is high as this causes a difference in the supply and demand and hence there is a lack of part-time jobs on the campus.
