UMass Amherst: A leading public research university.
Tips: UMass Amherst is a big, vibrant campus with lots of energy and a strong reputation for academics, especially in majors like engineering, computer science, and business. The campus is full of amazing resources such as modern labs, huge libraries, and tons of support for internships, research, and job hunting. The professors are really knowledgeable and supportive but be ready for some healthy competition in popular classes. The coursework can be challenging, so staying on top of your schedule is key. You’ll need to find a good balance between studying and taking part in all the fun stuff happening on campus. One unique thing about UMass is its big focus on sustainability going green is a huge part of life here, and you’ll notice it everywhere. Financially, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. Living in Massachusetts is great, but it can be expensive. Housing fills up fast, so look into your options early. The university offers scholarships and financial aid, but they can be competitive, so it’s worth applying to as many as you can. When it comes to social life, there’s never a dull moment. Whether you’re into clubs, sports, music, or just hanging out, there’s always something happening. The town of Amherst has a cosy, small-town feel, but it’s not overflowing with things to do, so students often find their own fun on campus or go exploring in nearby areas. Overall, UMass Amherst is an excellent choice for students seeking a quality education in a supportive, dynamic environment.

4.1
Great university in terms of research and it is really peaceful.
Tips: The transition to the University of Massachusetts Amherst was smooth academically, but there was a noticeable cultural shift socially. There are no scholarships at the University of Massachusetts Amherst at the master's level, but there are a few benefits like tuition waivers for Teaching Assistantships (TAs) or Research Assistantships (RAs) but not in courses like MS CS and MS B.A.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are really good and focus on how well you have understood anything. They maintain regular office hours, and many are open to scheduling additional time if you have further questions or need guidance. The courses are designed to provide both theoretical and application-based knowledge. The university is well diverse.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no Indian restaurants nearby. Most of the foods are of different cuisines. The university does have its own dining facilities, where good food is provided but the food is mostly not from my country of origin. If you are looking for good Indian food, you will have to go to Boston.

UMass is a better place to be researcher
Tips: The coursework would be tough, the place is bit remote. There is no TA/RA positions but plenty of on-campus jobs are available. Learn to balance everything together. Master's journey is not as easy as it seems in India and the education pattern is very different. Hence, one needs to break the stereotypes before pursuing this dream.

Explore as much as possible. Good course.
Tips: Not much cultural shift is there to experience. No scholarships are there at University of Massachusetts Amherst. Everything is good as of now, courses are also good.
Umass is a bit of research oriented so if you are interested to research then go for it.
Very less systems courses, so if you are not into AI/ML things then think again.
Likes (Student Life): Student life is pretty cool, there are many gyms and many sports activities if you are interested. The food also is great in the commons where you can get all sorts of foods including Indian food, so it's pretty much covered, and the living is a bit expensive which is a problem.
Dislikes (Value for money): It's very expensive so think about that as well. And there are no TA or RA jobs so that is another minus point. The only part time allowed is the UMass dining, which helps you get food and money which is decent enough and also there will be no way of income.

Course framework is good for work opportunities.
Tips: TA/RAs are not allowed in the CS department but it is allowed in the other departments. Happy with the course. Scholarships are not available for this course. A cultural shift is also present. Food is difficult to get from India so knowing cooking before coming here is a must.
Likes (Value for money): Course content is good. ML is upcoming and Mass Amherst has a very high rating for Machines Learning or Data Science concentration in Computer Science. For other courses, there is a possibility of TA/RA and in MS CS there is a possibility of gradership. Even good part-time jobs are available to keep you giving.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration is difficult in the US. But after doing an MS the chances are less since H-1B renewal is less. If the school is offering Ph.D. programs and is a public land-grant university, like Mass Amherst, it will offer Ph.D. programs and will give you a chance at immigration options.

Extremely good for Computer Science
Tips: This university does provide TA or RA easily. Grade posts can be applied and is quite easy to get into. Otherwise, there are plenty of research opportunities and diversified faculty research fields. Courses such as RL are a must for computer Science students as the concepts are originated here.
Likes (Part time work): There are about 4 dining common and 1 canteen, hence plenty of openings are available for students. They allow the student employees to eat there after their shifts and provide a health and wellness fund. The pay per hour is also good enough Hence, the benefits are plenty.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Indian restaurants are very few at Amherst, compared to other cities in the US. There are about 3 restaurants about 10 miles away from the place, good authentic Indian food. Either way, you have an option in Doordash from these restaurants. Cannot expect too many options.

Yes, UMass Boston is a STEM-designated course. This means that international students who graduate from the course can extend their 12-month Optional Practical Training (OPT) period by an additional 24-months, allowing them to work in the U.S. for up to 3 years after getting their degree.
