Master of Science in Computer Science - Batch of 2024

4.3

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.

Great academic opportunities with strong industry connections in Boston.

Tips: Before joining, know that scholarships for international students are limited and focus on co-op opportunities. The transition was smooth, though adjusting to the U.S. culture took time, especially in the diverse academic and social environment. There are no scholarships, but the co-op programme is great for gaining industry experience. Very satisfied with the course, university, and Boston's hub for Biotech opportunities.

Likes (Quality of faculty): High expertise and real-world industry experience. The faculty is highly accessible and approachable encouraging open communication. Emphasis on practical, hands-on learning and case-based teaching. Diverse faculty from various nationalities, offering global perspectives.

Dislikes (Part time work): Many international students are admitted, but on-campus jobs are limited. For F1 visa holders only on-campus is allowed with a maximum of 20hrs/week which is easily manageable alongside academics. The availability of on-campus part-time jobs is often competitive, and students may face difficulties in securing one. For those who find work, the average pay in Massachusetts is 15/hr.

BS in Computer Engineering/MS in Engineering Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by Northeastern University

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.

One of a kind experience with great faculty.

Tips: The environment here is contagious as you will meet all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds, countries and experiences who contribute to the campus culture offered here. My major has been challenging and has had significantly challenging material but the professors are incredibly helpful which makes it a little easier. Finally, I would say that the public transport and the city planning stand out and have made things a lot simpler to navigate for students.

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.
