The University is pretty decent with good and understanding faculty.
Tips: I like the faculty and study environment here. Life and studies here are very different from what we have lived and studied in India. We have a good campus with all the requirements needed. We have a huge library in our university with all the required resources to work on assignments and exams. I'm very much satisfied with my university and its co-op programme.

University is at a good location. Lots of students and less on campus opportunities.
Tips: Coming to Northeastern, I realised making connections from the start is important to get a job or to know about work-related things. Here I saw less diversity majorly graduate courses have Indians. Northeastern does not provide scholarships. I have not experienced a big cultural shift coming here as majorly my course has Indians. I liked the location of the university. It’s very convenient for commuting. The campus is also good, with recreational activities and few clubs.
Likes (Public transportation): The university is well connected with the city transportation. Like green line or orange line bus routes, all are connected and students find it easy to commute. Whereas I believe it is not that affordable. As a student, it is not that affordable always paying 2.45 and 1.75$.
Dislikes (Part time work): I feel Northeastern is a very competitive university with a lot of students and fewer opportunities for on-campus jobs. Students are not getting single on-campus job throughout their master's. The on-campus job pay is also minimum while other universities have more pay for the on-campus jobs. I feel studying and part-time is manageable. Not every course has a workload and if you try to keep a schedule you can manage both things.

The University is good, transportation facility is great. A life changing experience.
Tips: There are a lot of students from a varied range of courses so be ready to put in extra effort and always be on your feet. The cost of living in Boston is quite expensive as compared to other cities so budgeting is extremely important. Overall, it'll definitely be a good and life changing experience.
Likes (Public transportation): Campus is very well connected by buses, trains and overall the city is very walkable. There are a lot of beautiful sites to see and travel in Boston and one can travel on foot. The train system is diverse and can sometimes feel overwhelming but one can get used to it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I cook myself, but there are very few options available outside and everything costs a minimum of 10$. It makes dining out quite expensive so I prefer to cook which gives me more control over the ingredients and nutritious value. There are very few Indian places around campus.

Very limited opportunities for jobs/part-time for International students.
Tips: I didn’t experience anything new as there are too many Indians. I have not availed of any scholarships either. It’s very tough to be in the eye of professors as there are way too many students to compete with. I am not that satisfied with the University's facilities.
Likes (Indian Food): Chipotle - 11$, El Jefe- 11$, Pizza - 2$ a slice, Fries - 3$ in the University. For Starbucks, there are schemes on weekdays in the University. Apart from this we have a Postmates app and Door dash too from where we can order food. It gives a lot of discount coupons to students and it’s very beneficial.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many restrictions to apply for jobs and internships. They have a GPA criteria to be followed. Opportunities for international students are very limited. I am not recommending this university- definitely go to a cheaper one. This university is not worth it.
