Challenging yet rewarding journey of growth, adaptation, resilience and survival.
Tips: Students should know that the community here is pretty inclusive, but being an international student can make you feel homesick. One also struggles most with the first semester because of the stark change in the education pattern from India, where only one final exam decides your grade. Here, grading is based on your performance throughout the semester until a course is completed. So, you have to keep up with the assignments and group projects and meet the deadlines besides managing your daily chores and part-time jobs. Most group projects have a peer review where group members rate each other's contributions. This is done to ensure a fair share of work among the teammates so that one person doesn’t get heavily burdened with group work while another person can get away without doing anything. But after the first semester, you start becoming comfortable with this pattern and will start enjoying the practical way of work and education more than just mugging up things and writing in your exam and eventually forgetting. Here, some courses even have open-book exams, and it will be difficult to take if one is not aware of the subject matter, and the concepts of a particular subject must be clear to take the exam. Additionally, often you have to present to the whole class, so you have to come out of your comfort zone and hesitate to address a whole class. Every student gets scholarships, but the amount might vary with each student and also with each year. It is called a merit-based scholarship, and one is automatically considered for this without any separate application. Two years back they were giving around 20% scholarships of the total tuition fees, but gradually they have started to increase the amount as per the recent data, but it is always random. The university and the course are expensive. But the employment rate has been good so far, and this country definitely has a lot of opportunities but is also becoming very competitive at the same time. 
Likes (Safety): Boston as a city is safe compared to other cities in the United States. They teach the MPH course on the medical campus, where you have to have card access to gain entry into any of the buildings. The Charles River campus is at the heart of the city at Commonwealth Avenue and it’s always crowded with students. Moreover, the Public Safety guys from the Boston University Police Department are always at work to ensure a safe and secure environment for all the students, faculty, and other staff. Boston University also runs its free shuttle service and it is very reliable so one can also avoid public transportation if they are unsure. However, in case of any kind of emergency, calling 911 always helps. So far, Boston is one of the most safest and student-friendly cities.
Dislikes (Value for money): Boston University no doubt holds a strong place for MPH candidates. But it is pretty expensive compared to the entry-level salaries one can get after graduating. Students are awarded scholarships but oftentimes it’s not sufficient to reduce the financial burden. So, if one has financial constraints they should reconsider applying to this school. One cannot expect to land a high-paying job right after graduation with an MPH from BU given the heavy investment.
