Master of Science in Transportation/Master of Science in Technology and Policy - Batch of 2024

Offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology

3.7

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.

Great university and country.

Tips: The transition to a new place was initially a mix of excitement and challenge. Academically, I had to adapt to a more independent and practical learning environment compared to the more theoretical style I was used to.

Likes (Student Life): My college life is filled with wonderful memories, and my teachers encourage me to study harder. My university has a vibrant campus culture that makes it easy to be part of social events on and off campus. We have so many student clubs and societies, and we participate in numerous events. I love that our campus hosts major events, including cultural festivals and academic career events.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is very tasty and hygienic. They have a good selection of popular Indian dishes. The famous restaurants are budget-friendly eateries. I like eating inside and outside, and they're not very expensive here.

Data Analysis for Social Scientists - Batch of 2024

Offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology

High qualified faculty and diverse community of students.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should be aware of its strong emphasis on practical learning and industry collaboration. Additionally, students should be aware of the competitive academic environment, the diverse student body, and the fact that the college is located in a bustling city with ample internship opportunities. The teachers are some of the best I have ever had. They were supportive and experienced and I am excited to continue learning under their guidance. College life is awesome as there is exposure to diversity and it is an informative period marked by learning, growth, and exploration, where individuals actively engage with academics, social interactions, and personal development often considered carefree and joyful. Teachers within the college demonstrate a high level of subject matter expertise, effective teaching practices, strong communication skills, commitment to student learning, and active management in research and scholarly activities.

Master of Science in Transportation/Master in City Planning - Batch of 2020

Offered by Massachusetts Institute of Technology

3.7

It has been an exceptional experience studying at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Tips: Before joining college, students should research the college's culture, academic programs, and campus resources. They should also understand their scholarship and financial aid options. To make a smooth transition, students should seek out supportive professors and peers. They should also prepare for cultural and academic adjustments, and join clubs and organizations to build connections. To apply for a scholarship, students should submit their academic transcripts and essays through the college's website. The scholarship allowance can help students focus on their academics and extracurricular activities.

Likes (Safety): I feel grateful to be part of such a supportive community. I have had extremely positive experiences in the city. The local community is friendly and welcoming, with many amenities and services available to support students. I have never felt threatened or unsafe while exploring the city. One notable experience was when I got lost in the city during my first week. A local resident approached me and offered to help me find my way back to campus. This kindness and generosity have stuck with me, and I feel grateful to be part of such a supportive community.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): While there are some job opportunities available, the process of securing a sponsor visa can be challenging and competitive. There are a limited number of companies that offer sponsor visas for international students, and the job roles and salary packages offered to international students vary depending on the industry, company, and job requirements. A company might offer a sponsor visa for a position in a specific field or industry, but the salary package for that position might not be as competitive as other positions that do not require a sponsor visa. Software engineer, data analyst, and IT consultant roles are common, with salary packages ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 dollars per year.

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.
