Tips: To thrive as an international student, it's crucial to adeptly navigate diverse networking opportunities. Foster friendships regardless of nationality, establishing a circle for learning, creating memories, and exploring career prospects. I haven't received a scholarship, as obtaining one is challenging. If you aspire to secure one, expert significant effort. Prior experience in the course is recommended for better understanding and coping with the curriculum. It's crucial to explore the university research and academic profile. About the university, I would say it's a great place for aspiring studies and the courses provided are efficient.

Likes (Student Life): The student body is amiable, and the university offers a plethora of learning resources. The class schedule allows for flexibility, providing students with ample time to explore various facilities on campus The university's primary highlight is the student library, serving as a valuable hub for accessing a wide array of materials to enrich one's knowledge. Additionally, there exist student communities which foster a sense of belonging and camaraderie among students. Frequent events and celebrations are organized for occasions such as Diwali, Holi and more. These gatherings offer students opportunities to meet and network with their peers. Additionally, these events serve as a platform for students to showcase their talents, including dancing, singing and various other skills.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The faculty members are exceptionally approachable and their commitment to assisting students beyond the confines of lecture hours. The professors go the extra mile by making themselves available for doubt solutions even during weekends. Embracing a practical teaching methodology, each professor in my department meticulously prepares presentations for every topic, accompanied by clear and illustrative examples. The diversity within the faculty enriches the learning experience, as we benefit from the varied perspectives of educators hailing from countries such as India, China, Japan, USA and more. The cultural mix not only adds depth to the academic environment but also fosters a global outlook among students.

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.

NEU: empowering cybersecurity excellence

Tips: I could get acquainted easily to the weather as I am from Bangalore. Initially we do experience cultural shifts but not difficult to get used to. I haven't availed any scholarships. I am extremely satisfied with the experience. NEU has provided an exceptional learning environment equipped with highly knowledgeable faculty. The course work is comprehensive, challenging and is according to the current industry landscape.

Likes (Value for money): The course curriculum covers all the aspects and concepts of cybersecurity. In comparison to the course curriculum of other colleges with regard to cybersecurity, NEU has one of the best curricullum and faculty. The TA on campus is really beneficial to get the experience of working alongside a professor to impart knowledge to the students.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to the current recession scenario, we are unable to find full time opportunities. Many companies who used to offer sponsorship have refrained from doing so since 2023 till the situation becomes better. Hence, international students are finding difficulties in securing a sponsored job.

Hard working students will shine here.

Tips: Need to understand US culture for smooth transition. Northeastern is a competitive school, so more hardworking students outshine others. But encouraging faculty, and peers will support well. Scholarships are limited for international students, but on-campus jobs can be done for additional financial support. I am satisfied 5/5 with the course, university and country.

Likes (Public transportation): Boston's public transportation is one of the best in America, a convenient and cost-effective mode of transport. The campus is in the city centre, and has 2 metro stations, lot of bus stops and campus shuttle to drop students off at late night hours at home.

Dislikes (Value for money): It is a private university, so expensive than other public universities but the perks like co-op opportunities and research atmosphere are amazing. Faculty are supportive and subject matter experts in their fields, the learning atmosphere is energetic and motivating!

BS/MS in Data Science - Batch of 2025

Northeastern has a lot of good opportunities

Tips: Coming to a new city in a new country might be difficult to adjust at first. But as you meet new people it gets easier and Northeastern has a mentorship program where they help you with all your doubts and questions. You will be assigned a mentor who will happily guide you in your transition to the new country and location. Northeastern has limited scholarships as far as I know. You can apply for on-campus jobs and try landing one. I am happy to pursue data science degree at Northeastern university.

Likes (Public transportation): Boston has good transportation connectivity, you can take a bus or train from the university to different parts of Boston very easily. There is a train/bus stop/station inside the university which is very convenient during the winter season. It is affordable and there is a monthly/ weekly pass you can take.

Dislikes (Internships): Northeastern has a coop course and multiple resume workshops which help you to build and showcase your profile in the right way. You can always reach out to your coop advisor for suggestions and feedback on your resume. The internships are relevant to your field. You have to search for opportunities and apply. The competition is tough and it depends on your hard work.
