Average university.
Tips: If you have no other option you can join this university and get a graduate degree and get into the job market as soon as possible. Nothing to worry it is a liberal state as well. Don't keep too many expectations from the university, it is a very small university as well.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The professors are decent and nothing different from the Indian professors. You will not feel anything different here at least in the classes. Only the class strength is very low and for Masters programs you will only find Indians over here.
Dislikes (Safety): Worcester is not a city, it is a town so there are very less people over here and no one on the street after 8 pm. Local people are also afraid of the same thing over here. The university is like very close to downtown so there are homeless people on the street.

Academically very good college. Very safe place to live.
Tips: There was no major cultural shift for me personally because the people around me are Indians mostly and most of the master's students in the university are Indians as well. I got a 20% scholarship based on my GPA, English score and work experience. My suggestion is to apply as early as possible to get a better scholarship. I am satisfied with no regrets.
Likes (Public transportation): They provide free buses for local transportation. Which covers almost every part of the city. And the buses can be found regularly. You can go to any store for example Walmart it is very easy and fast. You can find the bus timings and everything in Google Maps so no need to worry about the timings routes etc. Very easy to understand.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus part time jobs are very few. If in case you got one it is manageable. On campus part-time job payout is 15$ dollar per hour getting 15-20 hours per week. You can manage the academics and part-time because you will be having part time job for just 15 hours a week so the rest of the time you can focus on academics.

Reality Check of US Master's degree and Universities.
Tips: The majority of the population here are Indian students so if you are comfortable with it you can adjust well. There is a lot of competition for everything, from food banks to on-campus and off-campus jobs. So only come here if you are open to struggle along with your academics. Things are expensive but if you can figure out a way you can spend less maybe less than average around 700-800 including every other expense. Also, money here plays a lot of factor. Overall university is fine and it's good only if you are ready to adjust your way of life meaning you are ready to take every free thing and are okay with hustling for everything. Regarding scholarships, everyone gets a certain amount of scholarships, 20-30% is ideal, they have to give it otherwise no one will come. But if you have better academic scores or are better in sports you can try for additional grants, so go for it. There were good times and bad times as well in Campus life. The course was good but they can do better. For finance, there are good professors you just have to find a way to get additional knowledge from them. The US itself is money money-giving country if you can find a way you can have a better life otherwise you will be with every other struggling student. Also during the summer, there are high chances of robbery so be careful at night time.
Likes (Public transportation): The university is located next to a main road and has a bus stop in front of the university that connects to places like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and grocery stores. Most of the buses are free, and if you are traveling in the local area, there is a free shuttle that runs from the university.
Dislikes (Part time work): The campus is small, and most of the on-campus jobs are reserved for Bachelors. Only TA, RA and some jobs are open for everyone so 200 applications for 2 jobs. A minimum wage is paid, and everything is flexible but too much intake for a small campus. Working an off-campus part-time job is illegal unless authorized by the university which cannot be possible for the first year. On top of that Massachusetts is one of the expensive states. So groceries and the cost of living are high.

It's pretty decent and small sized University with lots of learnings.
Tips: There is 360 degree cultural shift. I received a 30 percent scholarship. I am pretty satisfied with the University and course and 2 years went smoothly. The location is close to Boston and New York. There are great activities around the campus to enjoy.
Likes (Value for money): Faculty members are really good with enough experience. They were subject matter experts in the domains and subjects. All the faculty members were approachable and helpful. In any situation they would go beyond and explain the critical topics which is the appreciable part.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are several part time opportunities at the University, such as at the canteen, library, facility centre and many more domains. Part-time jobs are 20 hours per week. The average hourly rate was $13.75 pre taxed, paycheck is bi-weekly for 40 hours. Enough money to pay rent and groceries.

Do proper analysis before you decide your University
Tips: Scholarship is fixed when you get the i20 letter itself, there will be no change in scholarships even if you perform better in your academics. There are many universities which provide some additional benefits when secured an on-campus job as TA. But Clark University doesn't provide any. Randomly they increased 100$ per subject in my second semester. If scholarships cannot be changed, how can they change the subject fee? I won't say it's the best University, but it's easygoing.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are very friendly in nature, they knew and understand that we students are from different parts of the world. They are very much experienced in their respective fields. The faculty here try to give their best to the students, the lab exercises are monitored precisely. If any student tries to copy they are caught and asked for an explanation, so better to study rather than copy.
Dislikes (Internships): I have come across a few students who graduated in the past semesters and maybe it's because of the recession but most of the students didn't find internships. Guidance through college is not up to the mark. The students here have work experience of a minimum 2-6 years still they are unable to crack the internships.

The college life is very good but the part time jobs are hard to find
Tips: Here we can find most of the Indian students. The studies are good. The scholarships are very helpful but there are hidden charges which cost a lot of money. I am satisfied with my university, course and country but the only problem is that we don't get any part time.
Likes (Public transportation): Here the public transportation is free of cost and we can get any route bus every thirty minutes. It is free throughout the city. But, if we want to go out of the city then we need to buy a ticket which is not free. The buses are the only public transportation which is free.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on-campus part-time jobs have tough competition and the off-campus jobs are hard to find. It's been 3 months since I got here but I haven't got any job yet. We can easily manage the part-time and academics because we don't regularly have classes. So it is manageable.
