Master of Science in Biotechnology - Batch of 2024
4.5
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.

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.

Good but need to improvise based on the needs of international students.
Tips: Even though part time jobs are necessary to lead a less stressful student life, focus more on obtaining a good co-op or full-time job. There are no scholarships for graduate management courses at NU. The university and faculty are good and the facilities the university has for students are amazing.

It has been an insightful and valuable experience.
Tips: The campus life here is very happening but the classes can be extremely rigorous, hence, finding the right balance between the two is what will determine your college life. There is a lot of diversity and focus on culture which makes the transition easier and there are a number of academic tools that are helpful as well such as peer tutoring and office hours with the professors which can really make a difference academically. The faculty are very understanding and you can approach them freely. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

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

It's a hole in your pocket so better come determind to make the best use of the time spent here
Tips: I am from Mumbai so I didn't face any major cultural shift however living conditions for students are pretty bad and personally have deteriorated quite a lot. NEU doesn't give any scholarships whatever to international students. If you have US citizenship you can apply to something called FFSA (not sure) I am just in my first semester so not good not bad experience about the university but if I had the chance to choose college again I would look elsewhere.
Likes (Public transportation): Easily accessible trains. Not so student-friendly though you have to tap or wait for the next train and hope for the back doors to open so you can travel without spending money. But the connectivity to the entire town is good and helpful. It's all about initial adjustments till you get used to it.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are no on-campus jobs for students in comparison to the intake the college has. We usually have to go around begging teachers and store owners for jobs and still might not get anything after one semester. You have a brother-like friend you are blessed else hard luck even on campus. You might get a job but not on campus.
