Great job opportunities after graduation.
Tips: Start applying for on campus jobs before arriving, apply to scholarships wherever possible, as it doesn't hurt to try. If you are considering this university, I would highly recommend going to their Boston campus as they have better infrastructure and facilities at the same cost. This campus is great for people who have relatives staying in Seattle and want to stay with them.
Likes (Indian Food): Ample Indian restaurants in and around Seattle and there are many Indian grocery stores too around the university which give home delivery too if you don't have a car. There are many Indian temples around that provides meals on weekends. I usually cook at home as eating outside can be expensive.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You can study here on F-1 visa and work on OPT for 3 years including STEM. Post OPT, you will need your H1-B to be picked to continue working in the US. Getting a green card and US citizenship can be time consuming and may take years. I would love to stay here for a long looking at the weather, quality of life, etc.

There are a lot of Indian students and Indian restaurants around Boston.
Tips: There was a small amount of scholarship provided to students. Boston doesn't have a huge cultural shift, in my opinion, as an Indian, because Northeastern has a lot of Indian students and Indian restaurants around Boston. I am very satisfied with the University as they have a very good Co-op program, and almost 50-60% of students have been able to secure one.
Likes (Public transportation): There are 4 lines on the Metro: the Red, Green, Orange, and Blue lines, connecting the entire city. Multiple buses run daily on all routes, and there is a good frequency of buses across the city. Public transport runs from 5 am to 12:30 am.
Dislikes (Safety): The university runs evening and late-night shuttle services within a 2-mile range to ensure student safety. Additionally, public transport options are located right next to the college, eliminating the need for long nighttime walks to access them.

There are too many Indians here.
Tips: Don't smoke weed in the dorms. Don't yell the N word on the road. Come to study and prosper in your career, not just to have fun. Don't work illegally. Remember, your actions define our culture and our people. Think before you act. There are too many Indians here. The Indians in other programs and other universities in the area make me feel like I am back in Bangalore. There is a large problem with plagiarism, especially from the Indian community here. Being a TA, I have reported many. If you choose to come here, please make sure you come for the right reasons, and please have some sense of hygiene.
Likes (Part time work): I worked as an RA and a TA for all my semesters, and it paid well enough for a good life. Do not work illegally, because you will be deported and you will bring shame to our country. TA is good, and I loved it. RA helped me publish papers while I got paid for it.

The education is decent, but the co-op program and the exposure we get through it make up for that.
Tips: Having Indians around is always a good thing when you first arrive. You will always hear people talking in an Indian language as they walk by. The only problem I had in Boston was the cold weather that goes on for almost 9 months of the year. It’s hard, but you get used to it. I didn’t get any scholarships, but other people did. Scholarships aren’t common for grad students, but there are lots for undergrads. I’m very happy with the city. On the other hand, the university is not that good. The education is decent, but I guess it could be better. However, the co-op program and the exposure you get through it make up for that.
Likes (Safety): Compared to other US states, Boston is very safe. The city's highly educated and sophisticated residents make for a secure environment. While, like any other place, unsafe areas may be present, they likely won’t be the first locations you visit during your time at Northeastern. On a personal note, I’ve wandered the city and arrived home at four in the morning, both without incident, so I can vouch for its safety.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are too many Indians getting enrolled in Northeastern, and the high living costs of Boston and Northeastern's fees make it extremely competitive for a student to get an on-campus job. The part-time work is almost always manageable with academics, and the average payout is $15–20/hr. The only caveat is that you need to find an on-campus job.

My professional and academic experiences at Northeastern University Boston.
Tips: The transition for me was a drastically better one after coming to Northeastern. The overall environment, the facilities and the quality of education, I believe, are absolutely remarkable. I can see rapid improvement in myself, in terms of applying what I have learnt in work-based experience, and in terms of communication and team-building skills. No major cultural shift that I experienced, as I have previously been exposed to American culture. Although there are many scholarships available, I am yet to avail them, as many of them would be available hopefully after the third or the fourth semester. I am extremely satisfied with my university, course and country, as I believe that I am getting a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow every day, and the conducive environment I am in motivates me to keep the momentum going in my academic and professional life.
Likes (Student Life): My day in college is mostly spent on doing project discussions and assignments, I enjoy that I can interact with many people. I participate in the music team at Northeastern University, mostly involving Indian students. There are also events organised for music, dance, and art, and I try to go to one a month.
Dislikes (Part time work): The on-campus jobs are competitive to get, like library assistant, TAs, RAships, cashier and ticket manager roles. Though hectic, they're manageable with academics. Pay depends on the role - some are level 1, 2, 3, or 4 based pay as per responsibilities and roles.

Experiential learning experience at Northeastern University.
Tips: So, one cultural shock was how there were so many vegetarian Indians that are arriving here in Boston, M.A. and how there's not a lot of vegan/vegetarian options for folks at a lot of food chain especially McDonalds and Burger King - when it says Cheeseburger on the menu, it is not a vegetarian burger. A lot of vegetarian students learned it the hard way here. I, personally, don't mind it all, so it was fine with me. Along with that, there is a courtesy and politeness between passengers and pedestrians on the street and in public places. For instance, if someone is walking behind you and heading for a building entrance just like you, you always hold the door open as a sign of courtesy. When you cross the road, the car often gives you the right of way, stopping and allowing you to cross. Also, there's a huge focus on accessibility - space for wheelchair-bound residents, accessible ramps and buildings, which was pretty cool to see. As far as I know, NEU barely hands out scholarships for the MS Cybersec programme, but I've heard that they do give out scholarships for the Arlington Campus, so that's something to consider as well. Overall, academically and learning-wise, I'm very satisfied with the university. I've had a chance to study and work with some amazing professors and got to learn some amazing stuff from very hands-on courses in a pretty courteous country, so all in all, it was a wonderful experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): So far, all the faculty I've had were super knowledgeable in their field and always welcome your queries and concerns with open arms. I've had faculty members who used to reply back in minutes over the discussion forum whenever I posted a concern, which made me feel like they really cared about our learning. The faculty members that I've had the privilege of learning from here have come from various ethnicities and backgrounds - I've had a professor who was American, another professor who was from Greece and a programme Director/Professor who came from Spain. Also, there are faculty members in the universities who are Chinese, African-American, Polish, etc. So I'd say it's a pretty diverse team of folks teaching students here. Not to mention, they really hone in on practical, hands-on learning over the conventional written-learning and memorisation approach. I had one foundation Cybersec course, which was all projects and lab assignments - no exam at all, which made it effortlessly fun and took the stress out of it too.
Dislikes (Indian Food): So, though some options and outlets serve Indian food, they are very pricey or don't taste the same as it was in India or lack authentic options. Hence, it's usually preferable to stick to local eateries which are Mexican Taqueria joints that serve bowls or burritos for 8$-10$ piece. Initially when I came here, I was relying on flatmates cooking stuff for me or eating outside as the academic loads and work barely had you willing to go through the process of finding shops for cheap groceries/rations, going there and buying it on a budget and then coming up with what to eat everyday and then prepare it. But eventually, I realised that it is a sure shot way to burn a hole in your pockets financially, especially after you've worked so hard to save from that internship/co-op here, so devising a budget to prepare easy and low-effort sustainable meals is a necessity that one must learn here.
