Master of Science in Transportation/Master of Science in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Batch of 2021

Offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Best college with great academics and friendly faculty.

Tips: I would advise students to be well-prepared academically before joining this college. The classes are more research-oriented, so be ready to get your hands dirty. Also, be prepared to take classes from outside the university. Finally, always be ready to jump in and make yourself available in class. The academics at this college were diverse, and the teachers were very knowledgeable. The tutors were very friendly and helpful. I could approach them anytime, and they were always there for me. I would recommend this college to anyone. The student life was fantastic. I got a lot of learning opportunities and practical experience. Some of the greatest minds in the world work and study there. The research faculty was fabulous, and there was a lot of equipment and funding for experiments. There were a lot of clubs, too. Overall, I am satisfied with the experience.

Funded Masters at MIT with lots of events and activities.

Tips: Students should know that many MIT Masters programs, including TPP, are fully funded through RAships. You can apply to multiple MIT programs in the same application cycle, and you can also apply for a dual master's degree with other departments after you are admitted to an MIT program. The allowance is almost $45,000 per year, in addition to tuition and health coverage. This amount is sufficient to live in Boston and save some money.

Likes (Student Life): There are lots of fun activities to do in Boston. You can also learn how to sail for free. There are many clubs on campus that you can join for free. Boston is very bikeable so you can bike anywhere within the city. It's very pretty in the fall. People also regularly rent cars to hike in New Hampshire.

Dislikes (Part time work): You will be on a RAship so there is no need for part time for most MIT grad programs except Sloan ones. Taking on additional part-time activities might be restricted by your F1 visa. You won't need additional sources of income over RAship money and you won't have the time for it.
