Try to fully utilize as much resources as you can.
Tips: I have changed a lot both inside and out since coming here, and I can definitely see the change in the way I present myself. I got a scholarship by mailing the university, and I was very satisfied with my university, my course of study, and, most of all, the country itself. Definitely, everybody dreams of coming here.
Likes (Safety): Student life is definitely good over here. You have plenty of time to build up your skills, and you have the right faculty and friends who will be here to help you. My average day would be going to school and doing some certifications, because the college even helps with certifications. They have sponsors for the certifications, and there are also many different events in which you can participate, like debate competitions. There’s a library. There are a lot of resources, and they have everything you need.
Dislikes (Part time work): The faculty here is super supportive and is always ready to help if a student needs it, not only in the classroom but also outside it. The faculty is quite approachable, and they are always ready to help, and teaching is not like India, where it is very strict and there is an exam every time. Instead, it's very liberal and something which will give you more global knowledge than just inside the classroom.

3.1
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.

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.

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.
